It implies that he was no longer in control of his situation... but in the custody or under the power of something or someone else.
As the account is related in The Bible, we're given to understand that he assayed to overthrow God on His throne to usurp His power in the universe to "become God."
"...I will ascend above the clouds [he was on the earth when he said this, since clouds exist within the earth's atmosphere]; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH." (Isa.14:14)
"Satan falling" implies that he doesn't possess the power he thought he did... and that forces beyond his have revealed to him his own limitations.
His fall is the result of his being "restrained" from being able to exercise the full extent of the power that he either possess... or once possessed.
"...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell [tartaroo: a condition of restraint], and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment." (II Peter 2:4)
"Satan falling" implies that he "formerly" had a trusted postition or office of authority; a lofty height from which to fall... that he betrayed that postition... and was forceably removed from it.
"...the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment of the Great Day." (Jude 1:6)
"Satan falling" implies that his destructive nature is presently being somewhat restrained, pending his trial on Judgment Day.
