I had a falling-out/argument with the other crows

Then the crow went to pieces. "I was going to, "But I had a falling-out with the other crows, and they left without me. Since my plans fell through, my world is falling apart," he cried.

Hi,
Do the three bolded expressions in the above amount to "argument," "failed," and "going to pieces" respectively? Thanks.

Thanks, optilang.

Btw, why does "falling-out" amount to "argument?" It's hard to figure out!

Hi

Fall out - means to have a quarrel, disagreement, argument.

I don't know the precise origins of it, but I suspect it has something to do with falling out of harmony, or something like that.
