Song Description
Kaia's "The Subtle Art of Falling," co-piloted by producer-instrumentalist Mitch Cooper, is a three-minute chamber-pop reverie where piano, cello, violin and gauzy synth cushions frame lyrics that romanticize surrender; the track's stripped percussion-free mix and visually poetic video render it tailor-made for prestige-drama syncs while giving AAA radio a fresh, contemplative palate cleanser.

Lyrics
The Subtle Art of Falling
©2025 Mitch Cooper
V1
The cliff edge gently crumbles, right beneath my feet.?
The wind conjures demons, that I've tried to defeat?
Gravity tugs and pulls, like the rhythm of a heartbeat.?
I'm standing at the threshold, where my two worlds meet.
CH
There's an art to falling, a grace in its release.?
A moment that's suspended, somewhere between war and peace.?
The surrender of my wings, that I know never could fly?
In the subtle art of falling, my arms reach to the sky
V2
Feathers and wax, they were never meant to last.?
The sun doesn't care about, the shadows that I've cast.?
The ocean below, has its arms - open wide.?
Welcoming waters, where the truth, it just can't hide.
CH
There's an art to falling, a grace in its release.?
A moment that's suspended, somewhere between war and peace.?
The surrender of my wings, that I know never could fly?
In the subtle art of falling, my arms reach to the sky
Bridge:
Each time that I have fallen, I've learned something new,
A hidden piece of my inner self, that I never knew,
The scattered parts I'm made of, They forge a stronger me,
Breaking into pieces, I'm finally set free.
CH
There's an art to falling, a grace in its release.?
A moment that's suspended, somewhere between war and peace.?
The surrender of my wings, that I know never could fly?
In the subtle art of falling, my arms reach to the sky
