Description

About past relationships.[source?] Matthew Bellamy has said that this has stemmed from feelings that he has had.[source?]

It sounds like a Hang, an instrument similar to a steel drum, was used at the start of this song.

Additional information

The only album track never played live, aside from as an instrumental introduction to Eternally Missed for at least the two Carling Weekend performances of 2002. This is because "it never really seemed to work" when played live, according to Christopher Wolstenholme, although he indicated it may be played in the future.[3] The riff was played as an intro to Starlight on the São Paulo, Brazil gig in 2008 which probably hints a preparation for a possible live performance.[4]

Falling Away with You was called World Crumbling during the recording process, as seen on the Making of Absolution bonus DVD.[1]

Lyrics

I can't remember when it was good

Moments of happiness elude Maybe I just misunderstood

All of the love we left behind Watching the flashbacks intertwine Memories I will never find

So I'll love whatever you become And forget the reckless things we've done I think our lives have just begun I think our lives have just begun

And I'll feel my world crumbling, I'll feel my life crumbling I'll feel my soul crumbling away And falling away, Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream Tasting the air you're breathing in I hope I won't forget a thing

Promise to hold you close and pray Watching the fantasies decay Nothing will ever stay the same

And all of the love we threw away And all of the hopes we've cherished fade Making the same mistakes again Making the same mistakes again

I'll feel my world crumbling, I'll feel my life crumbling I'll feel my soul crumbling away And falling away, Falling away with you

All of the love we left behind Watching the flash backs intertwine Memories I will never find Memories I will never find
