Breaking The Broken
Sparta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our lives get tangled up in progress
Falling short on life's test
When all that matters should be me and you
And you say it's not OK
Despite our life, you cannot stay
And you say you're not OK
Romance post-marked holiday
Well, I can't explain how we made it this far
And you should know, only you control my heart
Feelings overshadow reason, blocks out everything
And all that amtters should be me and you
I wouldn't trade what I got
Not for anything
The song "Breaking the Broken" by Sparta is a melancholic reflection on a struggling relationship. The opening lines "On a holiday slow-motion sets its pace, And it makes me pray for Capricorn's sweet face" sets the tone for the song. The singer is on a holiday, but it feels slow and tiring. He longs for his lover's presence, represented by Capricorn's sweet face. The next few lines suggest that their lives have become entangled in the fast pace of progress, and they have fallen short on life's test. In spite of the chaos around them, all that matters to him is the relationship between him and his lover.
However, things are not well, and his lover says it's not okay and despite their life, she cannot stay. The line "Romance post-marked holiday" suggests that the romance in their relationship is over, and they are just going through the motions of a holiday. The chorus has a sense of resignation, with the singer acknowledging that he can't explain how they made it this far in the relationship. He tells his lover that she controls his heart and that feelings have overshadowed reason for him. He just wants all that matters to be them and their relationship.
Overall, the song is a melancholy reflection on a relationship that has run its course. The singer is desperate to hold onto what they have, but his lover has given up, and he is left to contemplate what went wrong.

I was 13-14 years old when I saw this MV. Fell in love with them and decked my myspace out with their album. Now I'm 28. I feel like crying cuz I miss those times and I'm kind of drunk.
