Try and stop me
Try and save me

I want to fall

Try and crush me
Take me, teach me

I want to fall
I want to fall
I want to fall

I want to fall
I want to fall
I want to fall

    My Interpretation:He is using "falling" the same way some artist use darkness, as a good thing. He wants to fall back into his own mind and world. You can try as hard as you want to but you aren't going to stop him from doing what he wants.

    Lyric Correction:Sound like he's saying:

    Take me, TEACH me

    or

    Take me, TEASE me

    General Comment:To me this is their most energetic...sort of uprising song of the album. And "Battle Of One" has even a greater effect when u listen to it, right after listeing to "a modern myth" (which is actually the very song before this one). "modern myth" being much slower and just sad....and then all of a sudden this song!
    kinda raises ur spirits, makes u stronger

    General Comment:its about someone who is a complete self sabotager. who wants to be amazing at everything he tries, but he thrives on his own self pity and constantly wants to fail

    General Comment:He wants to fall into this gay love affair. He forsakes everything he thought was right because he wants to fall... he wants to be broken. Because it feels better than living a lie. Deep, I know.

    General Comment:I think it's about depression and suicide. The state of mind where, no matter what anybody says or does, they can't stop you... you just want to die or fall.
