“I’m Falling Apart” is a haunting ballad that captures the devastation of a man left broken after the love of his life walks away. With raw vulnerability, the lyrics chart his descent into grief — from the moment of betrayal and cold indifference, to the lonely nights where he questions his very existence. Against a backdrop of stormy classical instrumentation, he clings to memories, a prayer, and the remnants of faith as he stares into the void. It’s not just a breakup song — it’s a cinematic cry from the soul, a struggle between despair and hope, life and oblivion.

I'M FALLING APART

[Verse 1]
Here am I, I'm looking right through you
I see the lie and what has become of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Your reasons, they leave me cold
Your reasons, left me feeling so old, so cold now

[Chorus]
I'm falling apart, but I don't know why
The one whom I long for has long said goodbye
It's in her eyes, my life has died
So I call to my God to take me tonight
She's shaken my very foundation for life
It's over now for me, is this the end of my dream?

[Verse 2]
This world comes apart, no soul in your heart, it's a crying shame
Misleading and cruel, the words that you use to inflict such pain

[Pre-Chorus] 
A coldness ran through me, a darker side drew me within
Oblivion calls me, yet somehow alludes  me and I, I live this nightmare

[Chorus]
I'm falling apart, yet I don't know why
The one whom I long for has long said goodbye
It's in her eyes, my life has died
So I call to my God, please take me tonight
Its shaken my very foundations for life
It's over now for me, but is this the end of my dream?

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
As day turns to night, I can feel you inside
Whispering dreams, then my nightmare begins
Well I pray for a time, I'll be one with my mind
When I'm over you
When I am over you

I'm Falling Apart

About

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.
