Discover the story of the song > Falling Down – Atreyu

The song is about the protagonist feeling like they are always running away from their past and constantly anxious about what could go wrong in the future. They talk about how they feel like they need to clear their thoughts by doing something drastic, and that they depend on their own negative thoughts like a drug. The chorus reminds the protagonist (and us) that we shouldn't let our inner critical voices take over, and that ultimately we will all die, so we should try to enjoy life instead.
