Falling Down is about the perspective of someone saying to another how much shit their in and how much their out of a life that makes sense and later asking how does life feel when your Falling Down back to a reality that makes more sense to you.
[Verse 1]
What's happened to you?
It's obvious you've changed
Something deep inside you
Is probably to blame
Must be lonely up there
With your head all in the clouds
Even though you got there
What does your conscience tell you now?
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Verse 2]
You had us all
Sitting right there in your hands
But you had to fall
Because that's how this life is
Got your fingers burned
By burning candles at both ends
Now the table's turned
And now your demons are your friends
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Bridge]
So now I question what you're gonna do
Now that everything's caught up with you
You believe the shit you say is true
But everybody's on to you
Life remembers everything you do
Your karma has caught up with you
[Chorus]
It's never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren't around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down
[Outro]
