Afraid of Breaking
Acoustic Junction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We walk in circles changing plans
we run like children again and again
leaving our problems to create more problems
we think we can't solve them, but it's all in
our minds.

There was magic when it began
but it all takes time, time to understand
seasons change as we always do
what remains is exchanged in return for
something new.

We often leave when things look bad
close our eyes and turn away
where do we go the world may never know we
run like children afraid of breaking

The secrets burning inside you show
you can't release and let them go
if we keep running from the ghosts that haunt




us the past that wants us will freeze the blood
and warm the pain.

Overall Meaning

In Acoustic Junction's song "Afraid of Breaking," the lyrics illustrate a cycle of fear and avoidance that humans often fall into when confronted with difficult situations. The first verse describes the movement we make when faced with problems - that we think we can't solve them and therefore create more problems. The key to resolving these issues is to recognize that they are all in our minds, and shifting our perspective can provide a solution. The second verse touches on the idea that relationships and life, in general, take time to understand and that change is inevitable. What remains is what we exchange for something new. The last verse urges us not to give in to fear and avoidant behavior, but rather face our inner demons to release them and move forward.


The theme of the song is very relatable as many people go through life excelling on an adversarial relationship with their own emotions. Some will never admit that they have problems and instead create more problems because they fear confronting them. This is because it’s easier to ignore your problems and run away from them than to face them.
