Wow. I've been listening to Papa Roach for 20 years. I heard this song when it came out and having grown up in a Christian household and community it immediately resonated, and....not gonna lie, it sounded "religious." Today I found out Jacoby is a Christian and watched him share his testimony with his church. So powerful. Listening to this song again it really is his testimony in music form. I am so happy he has found peace and life in Jesus. I want to find the same, I don't know why it's so hard.
*LYRICS* I'll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way But I keep falling apart All that I see is the wickedness around me I refuse to believe the apocalypse inside of me I can't even trust myself I'm burning in my skin Standing at the gates of hell But nobody will let me in I'll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way But I keep falling apart I'll follow you with all of my heart I'm tired of my ways 'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart I stand here again Forsaken in a place that feels like I can never win I'm reaching for a saving grace I can't even trust no one I need to rise above I don't think I'm good enough To feel your perfect love I'll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way But I keep falling apart I'll follow you with all of my heart I'm tired of my ways 'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart I'm falling, I'm falling apart I'm falling, I'm falling apart I'm falling apart Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it I fall hard and you carry me I fall apart so you can set me free Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it I fall hard and you carry me I fall apart so you can set me free I'll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way But I keep falling apart I'll follow you with all of my heart I'm tired of my ways 'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart I'm falling, I'm falling apart Without you I'm falling apart I'm falling, I'm falling apart
I'll follow you out of the dark. I tried my way but I keep falling apart! All that I see, is the wickedness around me. I refuse to believe, the apocalypse inside of me. I can't even trust myself. I'm burning in my skin. Standing at the gates of hell, but nobody will let me in. I'll follow you out of the dark. I tried my way but I keep falling apart! I'll follow you, with all of my heart. I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart! I stand here again, forsaken in a place That feels like I can never win. I'm reaching for a saving grace. I can't even trust no one. I need to rise above. I don't think I'm good enough, to feel your perfect love. I'll follow you out of the dark! I tried my way but I keep falling apart! I'll follow you, with all of my heart! I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart! I'm falling and falling apart. I'm falling and falling apart. I'm falling apart. Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it. I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm caught in it. I fall hard and you carry me away. I fall part so you can set me free. Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it. I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm caught in it. I fall hard and you carry me. I fall apart so you can set me free. I follow you out of the dark! I tried my way but I keep falling apart! I'll follow you with all of my heart! I'm tired of my ways, cause I keep falling and falling apart! I'm falling and falling apart! Without you I'm falling apart! I'm falling and falling apart.
This song to me is about God. Whenever i entered that dark place again it really helped bring me back. All i have to remember is the love of God. When you know the love of God you are never the same again. The best thing about this song is it has different meaning to everyone who listens to it. I first heard this song when I had hit rock bottom and started to find my way back to God. I've always loved Papa Roach but when i heard this song , it was the theme song that kept me going and striving to find way back to God and stop trying to fix myself all on my own.
Papa Roach: Not a christian band (songs can still be interpreted as christian) TFK, Red, Fit For A King, ect: Christians bands (songs can still be interpreted any other way) That's why associating music with religion is ultimately meaningless nowadays
I saw them live, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. But they didn't do this song, and I was pretty bummed out. After the show, I was waiting for a ride outside, and someone drove out of the lot blasting this song. I guess I wasn't the only one who'd missed it!
It's funny you mention that. I always thought there were two papa roach. the ( last resort - hollywood- getting away with murder) papa roach. Then there is my papa roach ( scars - before i die - fallin apart) i think both are good but i like the second much better ..unfortunately IT'S not the live p.roach we get. i like the songs with a strong hook, or noodle whatever. more melodic i would say. SO BAND DO A MELODIC P. ROACH SHOW AND I'LL FOLLOW YOU.!!!
Jacoby Shaddix calls this song a "Callout to God." In the interview, he explained that it's a very spiritual song, and that "God" is simply his name for a higher power. "I see God in music, I see God in people, I see it out here in the world now, so I'm seeing the world from a different perspective," he said. "I'm not trying to be preachy or anything like that, just talking about my experience, my strength and my hope."
I found this song through a Christian band called flyleaf ? Coincidence I think not and then your comment above got me thinking same thing 🤔 yes the world is seeking out there search for god as I believe many people want to believe but don’t know how ? Anyways I digress and this is a awesome song Have a great day from 👍🇬🇧
@@joshphillips7014 Yeah, Jacoby is a Christian nowadays and is very open about it. I never had a problem with them before he became a Christian but I'm a huge fan of the lyrical direction and musical direction they went in for this album and Crooked Teeth. Not so much a fan of the most recent album's sound though lol
This song has helped me so much the last few years in rebuilding myself up from some hard times and lows. So inspiring and sounds like there’s some Christian roots to these lyrics potentially.
This song has inspired my perseverance and steel spirit and my majorly resilient mind for years now. I have conquered and persevered and come back from so much more than anyone would believe and most people would have given up long before me but nothing has defeated me yet but this song definately relates well to me. I have conquered and survived epilepsy for 18 years, cured it with and survived successful brain surgery, i survived being homeless 3 times and now i am housed in a brand new 2 bedroom house, i couldnt have children because i had a lot of cysts in both my ovaries, i cured every cyst in both ovaries independently with intermittent fasting and i still conceived my first child. I had to lose my unborn baby to save and safeguard protect my 2 year old son. I had to survive 3 months without my 2 year old son when he was taken from me. The man i love, The father of my unborn recently deceased child recently tried to kill himself because he lost me and our unborn child because local authorities sabotaged our relationship. I am still here and still fighting to get my child back doing whatever it takes to get him back regardless of the cost because he should never have been taken from his mother to begin with and its my job to be there for my kids and i will die trying and doing my job as a competent committed mother protecting my kids regardless of the cost and i will never regret doing it even if i die trying.
How can be everyone saying shit about the video? Are you blind?. Does a videoclip need to make perfect sense with the song lyrics? That's wrong. This video is a beautiful piece of visual art and everything is really well shaped and blended with the song. The color is amazing, the scenarios, the makeup, the fx, the editing and the tension, the non stop runing, etc. We need to learn that a videoclip doesn't need to be the most accurate and understandable representation of the lyrics.
+René TR Yes, people were falling apart, because they were all falling apart no one had time to help each other , falling apart is like that, not much cryptic about that. I think people wanted their Disney happy ending or something.
+Processdrone In one scenario i want a happy disney ending. But the song and the music video are both amazing and i'm not sure how you can't understand it. Sorry for my bad english.
Great song and BTW to all the people bashing on the video, just because you can't understand it, doesn't mean it's bad, yes its a very cryptic video but it doesn't mean there is not a message behind it,
Mundane05 I could come up with an interpretation of my own but I really don't want to be one of those people who go like "duh well its very easy this is a psychological interpretation of the inner child and his desire for bla bla bla" as you can see there is already plenty of people doing that, quite honestly I prefer to be open minded about it and hope that someday Jacoby and company will give us the real meaning behind it, until then, everything else is pure speculation, nothing more.
Been a fan of Papa Roach for years, started listening from my parents. I'm 24 now and this is my favourite song currently, great band. Would love to see them live one day!
Papa Roach has always been more than just their musical art - they send important messages in their creative style- THINK!!! It's such a part of who and what they stand for. Brilliant song /video "Falling Apart"!
*EDIT 8/12/17* To all the people complaining that somebody on youtube enjoys intellectual pursuits: I edit MVs. I know the thought processes that go into these things. Music videos are a form of art, specifically film, and like all other art they communicate something. What that something is is up to the individual, _but they do mean things._ *** It completely baffles me how people are saying the video is terrible. Sometimes you have to look deeper than the surface. Come on, it's like high school English. Tobin Esperance explained the song by saying: “There's a lot of evil shit that can take over, but you don't have to fall prey to it.” The video is about a girl who fell pray to evil shit. The girl just robbed a bank. She hurt and stole from other people for selfish gain. As she runs she gradually weakens until she dies as a consequence of her actions, and the camera pans to the sky, indicating she went to heaven/god's side. This correlates to the refrain of the song: “I'll follow you out of the dark. I tried my way but I keep falling apart! I'll follow you, with all of my heart. I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart!” In the first scene, the mother and daughter are wearing traditional dresses and gas masks. This is a symbol of them shielding themselves from the evils of the world and embracing innocence. Later the mother covers the daughters eyes, but she peeks and looks after the girl. You can't shield children form the world forever. When she emerges from the bank (or whatever), people run away from her. She is “forsaken”, because of her own deed. The fireworks symbolizes the “Wickedness around” the girl. People celebrate bad deeds like the one she committed, but they have no empathy for her suffering, and they actually obstruct her. She is nothing but a spectacle for their own amusement. Later, the girl passes by a man who desperately asks for help for a woman. The girl doesn't stop, and the man has no concerns over the girl's obvious pain. She's clearly in no state to be helping other people when she needs help herself, however her injury was brought on by herself. Each is only concerned by their own troubles. This correlates to the lyrics: “I stand here again, forsaken in a place That feels like I can never win. I'm reaching for a saving grace. I can't even trust no one.” She can't help them because of her own misdeeds which goes with: “I don't think I'm good enough to feel your perfect love.” (She may have also been responsible for the woman's state as you see her running away in the beginning) The man is mowing dirt. He is draped in riches, with an expensive cigar in his mouth. There is nothing left to cut down, and yet he continues. He takes until there's nothing left to give. He symbolizes greed. I have no idea what that boy is dressed as, or what the cultural context is, so I can't really say anything about that part except that if you give it a little thought, a meaning will become clear. It seems to me like he's observing the world, he empathizes, but instead of helping he just sits down to make music about it? So he's profiting from the girl's suffering in that way perhaps? Next the girl encounters a homeless man. He sees her suffering, but the only thing that moves him is the money she leaves behind. Again, he cares only for his own suffering, and disregards hers. She falls to the ground. She is literally falling apart, and yet she still struggles to carry the money. She is consumed with the need for material possessions, she can't make herself stop even as she's dying. This goes with the “I can't trust myself” line. The whole song is very self deprecating in that way. (Alternatively, the homeless man may have found the money after she left and didn't even see her, as the lighting is different. Meaning she inadvertently helped the man, just as she may have inadvertently hurt the lady) The only salvation she can get at this point is through death, because no one else will save her, even herself. This goes with the lyrics: “I fall hard and you carry me away. I fall apart so you can set me free.” And then she dies, and the camera pans up to the sky, indicating she has been “set free”. The simplest interpretation of the video is she's falling apart like the lyrics say. Of course, your interpretation may differ, but this comment goes to show that the video is not meaningless shit, it actually goes well with the song, people just don't like to have to think about things.
+SilverDemon You've never seen a mariachi before? That's what the kid's dressed up as. Never seen Three Amigos? Personally I think the kid in the mariachi costume looking all trapped in a churchy-looking location is a hard critique on how the catholic church stifles the Mexican a-peoples. And also those three vultures in the end possibly stand for Augustus Caesar, Mark Antony and Lepidus, one of the worst triumvirates in the history of history. Either that, or vultures just made sense for a scene with a human carcass in a western-y looking setting.
+Mundane05 I'm not that familiar with Mexican culture, so I wasn't sure. Yeah that makes sense. Catholicism is generally very harsh about the consequences of sinning (hell), and the only way to avoid sinning at all is to lock yourself away from the world and not live life, but this song seems to take the stance that God is more merciful than vengeful.
Video Explanation/Interpretation - She is falling apart piece by piece through the course of the video, it depicts how things in your life matter more than your life itself like in this one it shows money , the fireworks scene depicts the madness around our life and the place where the man and woman are seeking help but the girl just passes because of her own selfishness and greed, and in the scene where her hand is bleeding she realises its too late and then she dies.
+Hait Parikh The drugs( which were in the bag ) was a burden of hers, which is depicted in this video literally as a burden. Her leaving the bag with most of the cash was her trying to make up for her wrong choices in life, but to no avail.
That doesn't sound completely off. A pointless distraction in her life? Or maybe a pointless distraction to her, atleast. Education, maybe? We don't exactly know how deeply involved with the drugs she was, so her education could've been pointless in her own eyes.
Ive faced hard times ,lived in my current place 10 years being forced to move and the place i found is a million times better so see God has a better plan for me
nothing like listening to this song at 5am in the morning as im on my way to work for another day! helps me get threw the days as i listen to slacker radio!
"Your loves a fire it's alive and I'm burning in it" When I heard these lyrics I lost it. Jesus pulled me out of my prison and baptized me with his eternal fire. Jesus loves YOU! And if you don't believe that, you haven't studied the Bible enough.
I used to listen to this 5 years ago haven't listened to this kinda music in about the same amount of time but it's still one of my favourites and still I could listen to it a million more times
Joshinator60 personally its called life we all change and grow for better or worse in this case I think they've grown for better then there older stuff I guess that's because my first song from them was Last Resort and was one of my only favorites from their older era.
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm covered in it I fall hard and you carry me I fall apart so you can set me free
I think so many are looking for the Papa Roach from 8 years back, but he/they had a fire sparked & it's deep. Now maybe one should look to the heavens while listening to this album because there's a definite shift in the message. It's no surprise to me at all, he was searching back when he recorded "Last Resort" where he states "searching to find a love upon a higher level." It's still a great album, the messages are subtle but they're there. The recording industry & psych studies state listen 3 times & you'll probably get hooked, so go binge on F.E.A.R., Face Everything And Rise! You might just love it. Peace.
Just caught up on the last decade of P Roach. They are now a top 3 favorite along with Shinedown and Disciple. God is great. So cool to see what these guys have been through and become. We’re all just broken people looking for purpose. It’s great to find that purpose. Sounds like they found it.
They've come so far. I was there on the rap rock beginning but that was nothin to what they are now. This album really sealed them for me. Still digging it in 2020
My mom went to school with these guys it’s crazy to think I’ve seen you guys around vac before and it was before I truly started to listen to you guys it’s nuts

You’ll find your way. Through dreams, spiritual encounters, or in a manner unique to only you.
I felt the same thing!
this song is a really powerful message. it brings light to how broken the world really is and how we all need jesus.
Jesus loves you & He's coming back for you

*LYRICS*
I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried it my way
But I keep falling apart
All that I see is the wickedness around me
I refuse to believe the apocalypse inside of me
I can't even trust myself
I'm burning in my skin
Standing at the gates of hell
But nobody will let me in
I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried it my way
But I keep falling apart
I'll follow you with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways
'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart
I stand here again
Forsaken in a place that feels like I can never win
I'm reaching for a saving grace
I can't even trust no one
I need to rise above
I don't think I'm good enough
To feel your perfect love
I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried it my way
But I keep falling apart
I'll follow you with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways
'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart
I'm falling, I'm falling apart
I'm falling, I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it
I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it
I fall hard and you carry me
I fall apart so you can set me free
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it
I'm in the ashes of mercy, I'm covered in it
I fall hard and you carry me
I fall apart so you can set me free
I'll follow you out of the dark
I tried it my way
But I keep falling apart
I'll follow you with all of my heart
I'm tired of my ways
'Cause I keep falling, I'm falling apart
I'm falling, I'm falling apart
Without you I'm falling apart
I'm falling, I'm falling apart

defintely when i first heard this is, it was at a bad time of my life and its got me throught alot
Yup yup 😢
2021 .. 🖤
This song is so beautiful, it brings a tear to my eye.
Papa Roach has always been more than just their musical art - they send important messages in their creative style- THINK!!! It's such a part of who and what they stand for. Brilliant song /video "Falling Apart"!
Que banda meus amigos, não perderam sua identidade.... acompanho desde Infest e sempre um album melhor que o outro.
*EDIT 8/12/17*
To all the people complaining that somebody on youtube enjoys intellectual pursuits:
I edit MVs. I know the thought processes that go into these things. Music videos are a form of art, specifically film, and like all other art they communicate something. What that something is is up to the individual, _but they do mean things._
***
It completely baffles me how people are saying the video is terrible. Sometimes you have to look deeper than the surface. Come on, it's like high school English.
Tobin Esperance explained the song by saying: “There's a lot of evil shit that can take over, but you don't have to fall prey to it.” The video is about a girl who fell pray to evil shit.
The girl just robbed a bank. She hurt and stole from other people for selfish gain. As she runs she gradually weakens until she dies as a consequence of her actions, and the camera pans to the sky, indicating she went to heaven/god's side. This correlates to the refrain of the song:
“I'll follow you out of the dark.
I tried my way but I keep falling apart!
I'll follow you, with all of my heart.
I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart!”
In the first scene, the mother and daughter are wearing traditional dresses and gas masks. This is a symbol of them shielding themselves from the evils of the world and embracing innocence. Later the mother covers the daughters eyes, but she peeks and looks after the girl. You can't shield children form the world forever.
When she emerges from the bank (or whatever), people run away from her. She is “forsaken”, because of her own deed.
The fireworks symbolizes the “Wickedness around” the girl. People celebrate bad deeds like the one she committed, but they have no empathy for her suffering, and they actually obstruct her. She is nothing but a spectacle for their own amusement.
Later, the girl passes by a man who desperately asks for help for a woman. The girl doesn't stop, and the man has no concerns over the girl's obvious pain. She's clearly in no state to be helping other people when she needs help herself, however her injury was brought on by herself. Each is only concerned by their own troubles. This correlates to the lyrics:
“I stand here again, forsaken in a place
That feels like I can never win.
I'm reaching for a saving grace.
I can't even trust no one.”
She can't help them because of her own misdeeds which goes with:
“I don't think I'm good enough to feel your perfect love.”
(She may have also been responsible for the woman's state as you see her running away in the beginning)
The man is mowing dirt. He is draped in riches, with an expensive cigar in his mouth. There is nothing left to cut down, and yet he continues. He takes until there's nothing left to give. He symbolizes greed.
I have no idea what that boy is dressed as, or what the cultural context is, so I can't really say anything about that part except that if you give it a little thought, a meaning will become clear. It seems to me like he's observing the world, he empathizes, but instead of helping he just sits down to make music about it? So he's profiting from the girl's suffering in that way perhaps?
Next the girl encounters a homeless man. He sees her suffering, but the only thing that moves him is the money she leaves behind. Again, he cares only for his own suffering, and disregards hers. She falls to the ground. She is literally falling apart, and yet she still struggles to carry the money. She is consumed with the need for material possessions, she can't make herself stop even as she's dying. This goes with the “I can't trust myself” line. The whole song is very self deprecating in that way.
(Alternatively, the homeless man may have found the money after she left and didn't even see her, as the lighting is different. Meaning she inadvertently helped the man, just as she may have inadvertently hurt the lady)
The only salvation she can get at this point is through death, because no one else will save her, even herself. This goes with the lyrics:
“I fall hard and you carry me away.
I fall apart so you can set me free.”
And then she dies, and the camera pans up to the sky, indicating she has been “set free”.
The simplest interpretation of the video is she's falling apart like the lyrics say. Of course, your interpretation may differ, but this comment goes to show that the video is not meaningless shit, it actually goes well with the song, people just don't like to have to think about things.
Be right back I need to go rethink life real quick
Thank you for the in depth analysis of a Papa Roach music video
+SilverDemon You've never seen a mariachi before? That's what the kid's dressed up as. Never seen Three Amigos? Personally I think the kid in the mariachi costume looking all trapped in a churchy-looking location is a hard critique on how the catholic church stifles the Mexican a-peoples. And also those three vultures in the end possibly stand for Augustus Caesar, Mark Antony and Lepidus, one of the worst triumvirates in the history of history. Either that, or vultures just made sense for a scene with a human carcass in a western-y looking setting.
+Mundane05 I'm not that familiar with Mexican culture, so I wasn't sure. Yeah that makes sense. Catholicism is generally very harsh about the consequences of sinning (hell), and the only way to avoid sinning at all is to lock yourself away from the world and not live life, but this song seems to take the stance that God is more merciful than vengeful.
***** Yeah I was joking though.

Freakin love Papa Roach.. Authentic talented passion for what they do..
Video Explanation/Interpretation - She is falling apart piece by piece through the course of the video, it depicts how things in your life matter more than your life itself like in this one it shows money , the fireworks scene depicts the madness around our life and the place where the man and woman are seeking help but the girl just passes because of her own selfishness and greed, and in the scene where her hand is bleeding she realises its too late and then she dies.
+Hait Parikh Very good explanation! way to use your imagination
+Hait Parikh And society has already "fallen apart"
+Hait Parikh The drugs( which were in the bag ) was a burden of hers, which is depicted in this video literally as a burden. Her leaving the bag with most of the cash was her trying to make up for her wrong choices in life, but to no avail.
+Thomas Byrne I will let someone else have a shot at that, as I'm not entirely sure.
That doesn't sound completely off.
A pointless distraction in her life?
Or maybe a pointless distraction to her, atleast. Education, maybe? We don't exactly know how deeply involved with the drugs she was, so her education could've been pointless in her own eyes.
Woo 2021 still here still strong
Ive faced hard times ,lived in my current place 10 years being forced to move and the place i found is a million times better so see God has a better plan for me
nothing like listening to this song at 5am in the morning as im on my way to work for another day! helps me get threw the days as i listen to slacker radio!
Always thinking outside the normal box with their music videos. This is why I love Papa Roach so much..you guys rock !!
This makes me cry
Absolute masterpiece truly.....got to hear this on and on in almost every shopping mall playlist
This song is heavy and perfect
"Your loves a fire it's alive and I'm burning in it" When I heard these lyrics I lost it. Jesus pulled me out of my prison and baptized me with his eternal fire. Jesus loves YOU! And if you don't believe that, you haven't studied the Bible enough.
This is so good but you must hear "Terminator" or "Seen/Unseen" by SLT 🤘
I used to listen to this 5 years ago haven't listened to this kinda music in about the same amount of time but it's still one of my favourites and still I could listen to it a million more times
Unconditional love & light- home.🙏😇💞💫
Papa Roach is AWESOME !!!
2019 and still a great song. Love Papa Roach
This song is my anthem right now 💯🖤
Papa roach has changed alot. Not bad, but very different than what they used to be like.
I think they decided to go back to their original 90s sound with their new song "Crooked Teeth".
+elena79rus слушаешь их?
I'm pretty sure it's called growth & evolution. Great band and I've enjoyed evolving with them
Joshinator60 personally its called life we all change and grow for better or worse in this case I think they've grown for better then there older stuff I guess that's because my first song from them was Last Resort and was one of my only favorites from their older era.
Joshinator60 I really like them more now
This song is amazing
2023 still awesome song
Esse hino eh eterno.... Musicaaaaaauuuummmmm!
I haven't liked paparoach in a long time. this is the papa roach I've been waiting for all these years. super kick ass song
Yeah
As músicas deles são tão fodas, tão lindas, tão verdadeiras
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it
I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm covered in it
I fall hard and you carry me
I fall apart so you can set me free
I think so many are looking for the Papa Roach from 8 years back, but he/they had a fire sparked & it's deep. Now maybe one should look to the heavens while listening to this album because there's a definite shift in the message. It's no surprise to me at all, he was searching back when he recorded "Last Resort" where he states "searching to find a love upon a higher level." It's still a great album, the messages are subtle but they're there. The recording industry & psych studies state listen 3 times & you'll probably get hooked, so go binge on F.E.A.R., Face Everything And Rise! You might just love it. Peace.
This song has me in tears. I can relate so much.
Did you find Christ?

Just caught up on the last decade of P Roach. They are now a top 3 favorite along with Shinedown and Disciple.
God is great. So cool to see what these guys have been through and become.
We’re all just broken people looking for purpose. It’s great to find that purpose. Sounds like they found it.
