Break
Alex G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my head I see bright lights
Riding in
I think I'm feeling it now just like you did
Taking hits for you
'Cause I wanna feel like I'm supposed to
I could disappear
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
And I'd break for you baby
'Cause you make it feel so good
Hold me down
And maybe I'll quit if you stick around
Keep quiet
It's the only place I know, but it's my favorite
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
And I'm sick for you, baby
And it's never gonna go away
In the first verse of the song, the lyrics depict the singer in a state of surrender. They are "tapping out" mentally, possibly indicating a sense of exhaustion or defeat. However, amidst this exhaustion, they envision "bright lights," which could symbolize hope or a desire for something more. They mention riding in, suggesting that they are being influenced by external factors or allowing themselves to be carried along by external forces. The singer acknowledges that they are starting to feel something, possibly referring to a connection or understanding similar to what the person they are addressing had experienced before.
The chorus reveals the singer's willingness to endure hardships or negative experiences for the sake of feeling a certain way. They express a desire to feel the way they believe they should, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being. The repetition of the phrase "And I'd break for you baby" emphasizes their dedication to this person and the power they hold over them. The phrase "make it feel so good" could refer to the person's ability to bring pleasure or satisfaction into the singer's life, even at the cost of their own emotional or physical health.
In the second verse, the lyrics portray a sense of dependence on the person the singer is addressing. They yearn for the person to "hold [them] down," as it offers a sense of stability or grounding. The singer implies that if this person were to stand by their side, they might find the strength to overcome their difficulties or addictions. The reference to silence as the singer's favorite place suggests that they find solace or comfort in the absence of noise or chaos, further emphasizing their dependence on this person for emotional support.
The chorus is repeated, but this time the singer adds the word "sick" to describe their feelings towards this person. The word "sick" in this context could refer to an intense longing or emotional attachment that becomes all-consuming. The repetition of the phrase "And it's never gonna go away" highlights the singer's belief that this deep yearning for the person is permanent and will not fade with time. Despite recognizing the potential negative consequences, the singer is unable to shake off their attachment and remains trapped in their feelings for this person.
