"Falling Down (Original)" by Lil Peep and iLoveMakonnen is a melancholic ballad that explores feelings of longing, isolation, and the impact of distance on a relationship. The song discusses the emotional toll that separation can have on individuals and the yearning to reconnect with a loved one.

The opening lines of the song, "Sunlight on your skin when I'm not around, Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town," immediately set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The mention of sunlight on the person's skin implies warmth and happiness, which is contrasted with the absence of the narrator. When the person is away, their absence causes a profound sense of emptiness in the narrator's life.

The repeated phrase, "Come, let's watch the rain as it's falling down," is a plea for shared experiences and an invitation to find solace together. Rain is often associated with sadness or melancholy, and in this context, it reflects the narrator's emotional state. By watching the rain together, the narrator hopes to find some comfort during their separation.

The bridge sung by iLoveMakonnen adds depth to the emotions conveyed in the song. The desire to be alone, "skin to skin," suggests an intimate connection and a longing for physical closeness. It signifies a deep emotional bond between the individuals in the relationship. The repetition of "Where I wanna be again and again" underscores the yearning for familiarity and the happiness that existed before the distance came between them.

In the first verse, iLoveMakonnen questions why communication has diminished between them, longing for the connection they once had. The line, "You should hug me lately, I just wanna be the one, that you always callin', ba-a-by," emphasizes the narrator's desire for physical affection and emotional support. They long to be the person their loved one consistently turns to for comfort and support.

The chorus reiterates the longing felt by both Lil Peep and iLoveMakonnen. The repetition emphasizes the deep emotional impact that distance has on them. The line, "Shit don't feel the same when you're out of town," suggests that the narrator's emotional well-being is dependent on the presence of their loved one.

In the second verse, iLoveMakonnen continues to express their longing for emotional intimacy and questions why their loved one is walking away. The line, "When I'm your only gu-u-uy," indicates that the narrator feels like the only one invested in the relationship. The distance has created a rift between them, and they struggle to understand why their loved one is pulling away.

"Falling Down (Original)" reflects the emotional complexity of long-distance relationships and the toll they can have on individuals. The song explores themes of longing, loneliness, and the desire for emotional and physical connection. Through its poignant lyrics and melancholic melodies, the track captures the shared experience of countless individuals who grapple with the challenges of distance in their relationships.
