On “Fall Away,” Tyler expresses the conflict he finds within himself as he struggles with his spirituality. The song bears a depressing and suffering tone, quite fitting to the subject matter. Tyler seems to go back and forth between a desire to fight the disconnection he feels to religion in the...
[Chorus]
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I don't wanna fall, fall away
I'll keep the lights on in this place
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall a—way (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't wanna fall, fall a—way (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't, I don't wanna fall away (La-da-da-da-da)
I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
[Verse 1]
I disguise and I will lie
And I will take my precious time
As the days melt away as I stand in line
And I die as I wait, as I wait on my crime
And I'll try to delay what you make of my life
But I don't want your way, I want mine
I'm dyin' and I'm tryin', but believe me, I'm fine
But I'm lyin', I'm so very far from fine
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I can feel the pull begin
Feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart
[Chorus]
—way (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)
I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
[Verse 2]
Every time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision
My crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission
It's takin' a toll on my soul, I'm screaming submission and
I don't know if I am dying or living
'Cause I will save face for name's sake, abuse grace
Take aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
But my name is lame, I can't walk, and I ain't the same-a
And my name became a new destiny to the grave
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I can feel the pull begin
Feel my conscience wearing thin
And my skin, it will start
To break up and fall apart
[Chorus]
—way (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)
I don't wanna fall, fall away (La-da-da-da-da)
I will keep the lights on in this place (La-da-da-da-da)
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
