"Not Falling" talks about being self-strong and not giving up. The song begins and concludes with heavier segments and screamed vocals, while its middle section is more atmospheric and melodic. [4]
The song has three music videos: two official and one unofficial. The first video depicts the band being transformed into veiny creatures with white, egg-colored bug eyes [4] and performing the song in a dark chamber. Additionally featured are images of parasites traveling through someone's bloodstream. The second video, directed by Dean Karr, features the members performing the song in a blizzard, notably without the costumes. The unofficial third music video appears on the DVD for the 2002 horror film Ghost Ship , in which the song was featured heavily. The video consists of a montage of clips from the film with the song played over.
