teacher, teacher, please help me solve
this equation i cannot resolve
the chalk has run out, my nails are blunt
i sit at front
Chorus:
and i just can't make it to the equals sign
and i just can't put the words in just one line
and i just can't feel the things i used to feel
and i just can't see what's fake or real
me plus you equals breakdown
Verse 2:
calculator i must confess
this number theory, it's such a mess
give me the answers, fill in the blanks

Overall Meaning

In the song "Me + You = Breakdown" by After the Fall, the lyrics describe the struggles of the singer in solving an equation, which serves as a metaphor for their personal relationship. The singer feels lost and helpless, seeking the help of a teacher or a calculator to solve their problem, but they still can't seem to find the solution. They are unable to bring their thoughts and feelings together, unable to make sense of their emotions, and unable to distinguish between what is real and fake. The chorus emphasizes the fact that the two individuals involved in this equation are no longer compatible and are headed towards a breakdown. The equation can't be solved, and the relationship is crumbling.


The song's lyrics convey a sense of confusion, frustration, and despair, which encapsulate the emotions one feels when struggling to maintain a relationship. The math references also add a layer of complexity and intellectualism to the song, making it an intriguing and thought-provoking piece.

They said, don't fall
Don't forget all the things you've been taught, you've been told
Don't blink, don't run
Don't turn left, don't turn right or look straight at the sun

My mind's going in circles, I'm trying to fight it
Getting these voices inside, just stay quiet
Gone to the place where all this began
To start again

Oh you won't see the light until the dawn breaks
No
'Till it's all sudden death, you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn and turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up of the ground
And 'till you get lost, you'll never be found
And you can't start again
Until you breakdown

Breakdown
Break
Until you breakdown
Break
Break

They said, be meek
Look beneath the bed before you go to sleep
Keep up a shot
You'll surely get burned if you reach out and touch

My mind is a battle, I'm trying to hide it
Getting these voices inside, just stay quiet
Gone to the place where all this began
To start again

You won't see the light until the dawn breaks
No
'Till it's all sudden death, you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn and turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up of the ground
And 'till you get lost, you'll never be found
And you can't start again
Until you breakdown

Breakdown
Break
Until you breakdown
Break
Break

Oh you won't see the light until the dawn breaks
No
'Till it's all sudden death, you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn and turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up of the ground
And 'till you get lost, you'll never be found
And you can't start again
Until you breakdown

Hold on, hold on
When you're lost, when you're lost
Hold on, hold on
When you're lost, when you're lost.

Lyrics

They said don't fold
Don't forget all the things you've been taught you've been told
Don't blink, don't run
Don't turn left or turn right or look straight at the sun

My mind's going in circles, I'm trying to fight it

Getting these voices inside to stay quiet
Going to the place where all this began
To start again

Oh, you won't see the light until the dawn breaks, no

'Til it's all said and done you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn, then turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up off the ground
Until you get lost you'll never be found
And you can't start again until you break down

Breakdown
Break
Until you break down
Breakdown
Break

They said be meek

Look beneath the bed before you go to sleep
Keep both eyes shut
You'll surely get burned if you reach out and touch

My mind is a battle, I'm trying to hide it

Getting these voices inside to stay quiet
Going to the place where all this began
To start again

Oh you won't see the light until the dawn breaks, no

'Til it's all said and done you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn, then turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up off the ground
Until you get lost you'll never be found
And you can't start again until you break down

Breakdown
Break
Until you break down
Breakdown
Break

Oh you won't see the light until the dawn breaks, no
'Til it's all said and done you won't know what it takes
Gonna make a wrong turn, then turn around
Gotta fall first to pick yourself up off the ground
Until you get lost you'll never be found
And you can't start again until you break down

Hold on, hold on
You're not lost, you're not lost
Hold on, hold on
You're not lost, you're not lost
