Falling Away From Me
Korn · Greatest Hits - Volume One
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
The day is here fading
That's when i'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kills 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)
Throw 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
F***!
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)
Beating me beating me
(Falling away from me)
Down, down
Into the ground
(Falling away from me)
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
(Falling away from me)
Down, Down
Into the ground
About Falling Away From Me
"Falling Away From Me" stands as a defining track from Korn's 2003 compilation *Greatest Hits - Volume One*, capturing the band's evolution from nu-metal pioneers to a more mature, melodic rock act. The song exemplifies the genre's shift toward anthemic choruses and introspective lyrics during the early 2000s, blending aggressive guitar riffs with emotional vulnerability. As a staple of Korn's discography, the recording showcases the collaborative chemistry between the band members, particularly vocalist Jonathan Davis, whose delivery anchors the track's dramatic narrative. Released alongside other significant hits, the song reflects the era's broader musical landscape where nu-metal began to incorporate elements of alternative rock and pop sensibilities. It remains a recognizable piece of 21st-century rock history, often cited in discussions about the genre's transition from its raw, chaotic roots to a more polished, mainstream-oriented sound. The track continues to resonate with fans who appreciate its balance of intensity and melodic accessibility, cementing its place in Korn's enduring legacy.
