뮤즈 첫 번째 앨범의 수록곡. 이 곡도 파릇한 느낌이고, 앨범 전체가 성글면서도 꾸미지 않은 풋풋함으로 가득하다. 사춘기 즈음 된 소년의 말랐으면서도 활달한 알몸과 같다는 게, 좀 괜찮은 비유가 되려나. 매튜 벨라미는 이 곡에 대하여 고향인 작은 마을 Teignmouth에서 벗어나지 못하는 자신의 10대의 절망감과 우울함을 담아냈다고 말했다. Teignmouth는 인구 15000명의 영국 해변 도시. 매튜는 자신의 또래들이 다 약 아니면 음악에 빠졌는데, 자신은 다행히 후자를 택했다고, 그게 아니었으면 자신도 약에 빠졌을 게 틀림없다고 말했다. 이 곡의 갑갑한 우울함이 근 한달여간 왜 이렇게 중독적이었는지 모르겠다. 나는 이미 내가 찾으려던 걸 찾았지만, 난 여전히 무너지고 있고, 내게 보이는 것은 내 고향이 불타는 모습 뿐. 어디론가 도망쳐야 하는데, 그 어딘가는 보이지 않고, 나는 계속 무너져내리고 있을 뿐… 사춘(思春)은 그렇게 끈끈하다.
I’m falling down
And fifteen thousand people scream
They were all begging for your dream
I’m falling down
Five thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t here
No it wasn’t here
I was calling your name
But you would never hear me sing
You wouldn’t let me begin
So I’m crawling away
'Cause you broke my heart in two, yeahh
No, I will not forget you
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
No
Falling away
You would never see me through
No, I could not forget you
Falling down
A thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
No
Falling down
Now the world is upside down
I’m heading straight for the clouds
And fifteen thousand people scream
They were all begging for your dream
I’m falling down
Five thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t here
No it wasn’t here
I was calling your name
But you would never hear me sing
You wouldn’t let me begin
So I’m crawling away
'Cause you broke my heart in two, yeahh
No, I will not forget you
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
No
Falling away
You would never see me through
No, I could not forget you
Falling down
A thousand houses burning down
No-one is gonna save this town
Too late
I already found what I was looking for
You know it wasn’t you
No, it wasn’t you
No
Falling down
Now the world is upside down
I’m heading straight for the clouds
