The Story Behind the Song
Brian wrote "Falling Down" to bring listeners to the heart of what depression feels like for those who suffer with it -- the endless fall into the depths, the isolation, and the anxiety of no relief, no end in sight.
Lyrics
Eyes to the sky Wind rushing by The world gets farther away With each passing day ('Cause I'm falling down) The black goes on forever No bottom can I see Drifting and weightless Need a little release (Instead of falling down) There's no end in sight And I'm fallin' down Yeah, no end in sight And I'm fallin' down (ooooh!)--No end in sight, And I'm fallin' down. Yeah-Yeah, no end in sight And I'm fallin' down No end in sight Yeah, no end in sight And I'm fallin' down
