[edit] South Park Premiere
Falling Away From Me was first played on the cult TV show, South Park on Comedy Central in the episode Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery. The band members had a primary role in the Scooby-Doo esque plot but only performed the song right at the end of the episode. It should also be noted that the song was played starting half way through, completely missing out the intro and instead starting from Jonathan Davis shouting "Fuck!" and continues from there.
[edit] Music Video
The video was directed by Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst (who appears momentarily at 4:31 in the video). It begins as a continuation of the famous video for Freak on a Leash, starting with the closing animation for it. The video shows a young woman clearly distraught by an abuser (her father) and her eventually leaving the house in the middle of the night, with cut-aways to Korn performing.
[edit] Jonathan Davis comments on meaning
"The song is about domestic abuse and that there ways to get help whether it's telling someone or calling a help line, there are ways to get out of those situations. No one has to be treated like that."
