The five authors represented here express their rage through song, and often create beauty from the ugliness inside. The authors in Life's Falling Away From Me are all from different backgrounds, all have different lives, and all play different kinds of music. Yet it is their raw emotion and ability to express themselves through their music that brings them together in this anthology. The darkness and disparity of these songs is chilling. Jonathan Davis often writes about his troubled childhood, focusing on the abuse that he endured, both physically and mentally, as a boy.
E is a brilliant lyricist who often writes on death.
James Hetfield writes about death as well, but in a different way. I have represented my favorite authors and included poems that I can best relate to. I often feel like I want to give up, to the pressures of school and living a life. And I miss the ones I love when they are no longer with me. I listen to E sing his lyrics, in my room at night, and reflect on the past.
