About “Falling Back to Earth”

Many times in life we will cry out for help, and no one will come. This may lead people to hold grudges against the people that they were ignored by. In the short term, this could lead a person to fight even harder and prove their worth as a way of getting back at those people. You might make progress, but at a certain point you will fall back to where you started. It’s important not to mistake ignorance for ambition. Work with people and don’t hold grudges, and the climb up the mountain will become a little bit easier. What’s the point in fighting if nothing comes of it? kaneturner — Prog Breakdown Now that we've finished TOOL, it's time to move onto another band. The one I've chosen is The Ocean Collective; their concepts based on eras of Earth fascinate me, and I've always been a fan of their music. Hopefully you'll enjoy them too! Starting Friday April 3rd (my birthday!).

[Part I: Rise]

[Verse 1]
Save me now, set me free (If you could only show me how)
Show me how to live my dream (Living the dream I will die)
Aiming high, shooting low (You won't be laughing when I'm)
To raise the bar, or take the fall? (Climbing the mountain)
(Ah, ah-ah!)

[Verse 2]
Someone rescue me; help me, please!
Against all odds, I long to be free (Ah, ah-ah)
Will no one listen to my plea? (Ah, ah-ah)
The sky is falling in on me!

[Verse 3]
(Save me now, set me free, show me how, live a dream)
Intervention now
(Aiming high, shooting low, raise the bar, take the fall)
I'll defeat
(Rescue me, help me please, how I long to be free)
All the people who
(Intervene, I'll defeat all those who stepped on me)
Stepped on me
(Ah, ah-ah!)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Ah, ah-ah) You have been standing in my way
(Ah, ah-ah) You won't believe it when I'm

[Chorus 1]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
When my name becomes tomorrow's news
On top of the mountain, I cannot be moved
I scale the summit like an unstoppable force
With iron wings I will prove my worth to you all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Ah, ah-ah) I will be dancing on your grave
(Ah, ah-ah) You won't be laughing when I'm

[Chorus 2]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again
Too close to the flame (Too close to the flame)
Ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze (With my wings ablaze)
I'm falling back to earth

[Part II: Fall]

[Bridge]
(Ha-ah, ha-ah)
(Ha-ah, ha-ah)

(Ha-ah) Now that my feathers are broken
(Ha-ah) Crestfallen, my head is bowed
(Ha-ah) Splashing down into the ocean
(Ha-ah) Something seems different now (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ha-ah) The world I once knew has eroded
(Ha-ah) Humanity's fossilized
(Ha-ah) The beasts have become the new masters
(Ha-ah) Is reality compromised?

(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ha-ah) Advanced technological breakthroughs
(Ha-ah) And superior firepower
(Ha-ah) The frontiers of war and resistance
(Ha-ah) Seem abstract and vacant now

(Ha-ah) For countless years I have been longing
(Ha-ah) To apologize, apologize
(Ha-ah) A world without end is upon us
(Ha-ah) But time is in short supply

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again
Too close to the flame (Too close to the flame)
Ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze (With my wings ablaze)
I'm falling back to earth
