Falling Away From Me by Korn

Yes... I jumped into the Korn bandwagon like many others. I liked the anger, the noise and the quirky sounds that they produce. This is one of my favorite songs of them. I really liked the intro with the arpeggio of guitar notes... signaling the impending noise that's bound to come.

I don't actually relate to the whole song, but the lyrics "Beating me down. Beating me, beating me. Down, down.Into the ground" sounds like what all of us go through especially during our teen years when all seem to be against us... parents, teachers, other kids... they're all after you.

Korn gave me an excuse to play loud music at home, something different from what my older brother preferred.

Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time, is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes, that's ok
Do what others say
I'm here, standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me
Day, is here fading
That's when, I would say
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can always say
'It's gonna be better tomorrow'
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground

(falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(falling away from me)
It's lost and can't be found
(falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(falling away from me)
Slow it down

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me, they won't go away
So I pray, go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
Fuck!

Beating me down
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
Into the ground
