I’m admittedly in the group of people who never listened to Lil Peep or XXXTentacion until their respective deaths, but found meaning and quality in their work once I tried. With three months since X’s death and ten since Peep’s, the two’s posthumous collaboration “Falling Down” is now out.
Each artist has released music within the rock realm in the past, but this will obviously have a very different impact on the fans of both artists.
At time of publishing, the track has already been played over 650,000 times in its first 5 hours – and that’s just on Soundcloud.
Check out “Falling Down” below.
Lil Peep & XXXTENTACTION – Falling Down [Lyrics]
[Intro: Lil Peep, XXXTENTACION & Both]
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
Now let’s do this one for Peep
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down, yeah
[Chorus: Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION]
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town (out of town)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
[Verse: XXXTENTACION]
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Rain keeps falling, tears keep falling
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can’t keep on fighting
O-o-oh
[Chorus: Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION]
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
So ‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
[Interlude: XXXTENTACION]
His name will live, bro’
No, I got—, I feel hella shitty because it’s like, yo
Like, if I would have known he was so cool
And it’s like, yo, if I would have watched interviews sooner, bro, we were so alike
It’s unfortunate because it’s like, yo, when people die, that’s when you’re there, you know?
‘Cause your remorse kinda makes you check ’em out
[Bridge: XXXTENTACION]
Darling, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can’t keep on fighting
[Chorus: Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION]
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (falling down)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around (I’m not around)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town (out of town)
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
‘Ko, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
O-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
