Breakin'
The Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going away there's nothing to stay for
Everything we do is some disease
Love is hidden by your fear
So don't make the mistake
Can't sit down
And I can't stand up
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
I can't stay in, and I can't go out
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh ohhh
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
'cause you know I'm gonna break
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh ohhh
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
Maybe the wait
Maybe the weight
Is too much for me to hold
Love is something
Nothing ever feels this way
It's time to come back
Can't sit down, and I can't stand up
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
I can't stay in, and I can't go out
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
Can't sit down, and I can't stand up
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
I can't stay in, and I can't go out
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh ohhh
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
'cause you know I'm gonna break
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh ohhh
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
Can't sit down, and I can't stand up
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
I can't stay in, and I can't go out
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh ohhh
Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
'cause you know I'm gonna
Can't sit down, and I can't stand up
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
I can't stay in, and I can't go out
'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break

Overall Meaning

The Music's song, "Breakin' in" is a song that expresses the singer's inner turmoil and the struggle that they have within themselves. The lyrics suggest that the singer has decided to leave a relationship or a situation that makes them unhappy. The opening verse, "Going away there's nothing to stay for, everything we do is some disease" highlights the singer's weariness and the hopeless feeling that they experience from the situation. The following verse, "Love is hidden by your fear, so don't make the mistake," alludes to the fact that the singer is aware that the fear of being alone or the fear of change is keeping the other person in the relationship, but it is ultimately causing more harm than good.


The chorus, "Can't sit down, and I can't stand up, 'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break. I can't stay in, and I can't go out, 'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break" reinforces the singer's struggle and the conflicting emotions they feel. They are torn between staying in the relationship or leaving, but both decisions could potentially cause them emotional harm. The lines, "Maybe the wait, maybe the weight, is too much for me to hold," hint at the fact that the singer has been carrying the emotional burden for quite some time, and it has taken a toll on them.


The bridge, "Love is something, nothing ever feels this way, it's time to come back," suggests that despite the struggle, the singer still believes in love and possibly wants to come back to it, but not in its current state. The repetition of "Uh-oh-uh-oh uh-oh yeah," in the chorus highlights the singer's desperation and urgency in making a decision.


Overall, "Breakin' in" is a song that reflects the experience of leaving a situation that is mentally and emotionally taxing.


Line by Line Meaning

Going away there's nothing to stay for
Leaving because there's no reason to stay


Everything we do is some disease
Every action feels like a burden


Love is hidden by your fear
Fear is preventing love from being expressed


So don't make the mistake
Don't risk causing harm or hurt


Can't sit down
Feeling restless and unable to relax


And I can't stand up
Feeling weak and unable to stand tall


'cause if I do I know I'm gonna break
Afraid of reaching a breaking point


I can't stay in, and I can't go out
Feeling trapped and unable to make a decision


Maybe the wait
Perhaps the delay


Maybe the weight
Perhaps the burden


Is too much for me to hold
Unable to carry the load


Love is something
Love is a powerful force


Nothing ever feels this way
No other feeling compares to love


It's time to come back
It's time to return to a better state


'cause you know I'm gonna break
Feeling close to a breaking point

¡Mi juventud!

@oscar_zapata

Que buenas épocas de secundaria, cuando no existía el nefasto reggaetón.

@zeitok8

exacto, justo antes de que llegara eso como un camión de estiercol, se estaba forjando una buena escena y también en latinoamérica pero llego y monopolizo.

@stocki7

Recuerdo cuando MTV estrenó y pasaba este clip durante las últimas semanas de diciembre del 2004, que épocas, mirar canales de música era tener la dicha de poder disfrutar de excelentes producciones. 2004 gran año para la música rock y The Music tenía potencia, energía, power y talento en abundancia.
Casi 20 años después escuchar esta producción es oro, diamante, hoy por hoy no sé si hay algo que se le acerque. The Music banda inglesa muy querida en Argentina.

@JudasTheEaterOfSouls

@dilanmagiavegggas5011
