About Not Falling

"Not Falling" is the first single from American band Mudvayne's second full-length studio album, The End of All Things to Come. It was Mudvayne's most commercially successful single chart-wise until "Happy?" in 2005. The song got renewed attention when during the band's 2022 reunion tour in Tampa, Gray fell off the stage while performing the song. Gray himself noted the irony, and joked it was "amazing". "Not Falling" talks about being self-strong and not giving up. .

Not Falling Lyrics

[00:21.03] Always known in all my lifetime
[00:25.91] A little left of center and now
[00:28.44] Reflect as I realize
[00:31.68] That all I need is to find
[00:35.30] The middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and just be
[00:39.78] Sinners, casting stones at me
[00:44.28] I, I stand
[00:47.25] Not crawling, not falling down
[00:51.44] I, I bleed
[00:54.69] The demons that drag me down
[00:58.74] I, I stand (for nothing)
[01:02.01] Not crawling (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
[01:06.39] I, I'll bleed (for no one)
[01:09.55] The demons (but myself) that pull me down (for me and no one else)
[01:16.12] Goodbye, sunshine
[01:19.72] I've put it out again (sad)
[01:24.54] I'm over personalities conflicting
[01:29.98] I don't need you or anyone but me
[01:35.64] I'll just be living my own life
[01:40.68] I feel my glowing, center grow
[01:43.24] Infecting, I feel alive
[01:46.74] Shovel dirt over lime
[01:50.39] Plant it in myself to sit like a seed, under covers of earth and just be
[01:54.49] Sinners, pointing fingers at me
[01:59.75] I, I stand (for nothing)
[02:02.94] Not crawling (by myself), not falling down
[02:07.11] I, I'll bleed (for no one)
[02:10.33] The demons (but myself) that drag me down
[02:14.56] I, I stand (for nothing)
[02:17.95] Not crawling (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
[02:22.25] I, I'll bleed (for no one)
[02:25.20] The demons (but myself) that pull me down (for me and no one else)
[02:31.06] Come play, kill (refuse my body, refuse my shadow)
[02:38.40] Stone-cold will (refuse to lead this, refuse to follow)
[02:45.79] Bitter pills (refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow, I'm fueled Godless)
[02:54.66] Come play, come play
[03:01.78] (Kill) Just be
[03:07.07] Just be
[03:10.82] Just be
[03:14.22] Just be
[03:17.98] Just be
[03:21.36] Just be
[03:25.65]
[03:28.94] I, I stand (for nothing)
[03:32.36] Not crawling (by myself), not falling down
[03:36.51] I, I'll bleed (for no one)
[03:39.76] The demons (but myself) that drag me down
[03:43.98] I, I stand (for nothing)
[03:47.06] Not crawling (the center), not falling down (of calms within the eye)
[03:51.35] I, I'll bleed (for no one)
[03:54.43] The demons (but myself) that drag me down (for me and no one else)
[03:58.03]
