Break
Artist Vs Poet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems I'm back in this place once again
And I've got no way out
I found ya
On your knees, beggin' me once again
You're a habit I can't kick
You were the one, I gave you everything
Yeah, everything
So I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
Darling you should be shaking
To the core, don't you realize the power I've come to possess now
You can hate me
All you want but don't put up
This front that you're happy 'cause I know
You're as sad as they come
Do you remember we had everything' Oh
I twist it all into a memory
So I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
And break your reign on me
Oh, so I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
The lyrics in "Break" by Artist Vs Poet describe the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of nostalgia and regret over a past relationship. The singer bemoans the fact that they still can't shake off the temptation of falling back into the arms of their ex, but acknowledges that they need to move on for their own wellbeing. The song emphasizes the idea of breaking free from the hold that a toxic relationship can have on a person, and finding strength in learning to let go and move on.
The opening lines "Hello nostalgia, seems I'm back in this place once again" convey a sense of familiarity and repetition. The singer is stuck in a cycle of returning to their past and reliving the memories, unable to let go of what was once important to them. The line "You were the one, I gave you everything, yeah, everything, but now it's nothing but a memory" highlights the classic heartbreak scenario where the relationship that once meant everything has now turned into just a memory.
The chorus emphasizes the need for the singer to break free from the hold that their ex has on them. "And I see through your lies, your clever disguise, you had me caught in your sapphire eyes, but I am learning how to look the other way, and break your reign on me" reveals that the singer realizes that their ex was never honest about their intentions, and was able to manipulate them to fall in love with them. Despite the temptation to cave in, the singer is now determined to break free from their ex's reign on them.
Overall, the song is an emotional battle between moving on and holding onto the past, and finding the grace to break free and find healing.

Hello nostalgia
Greeting old feelings of the past
Seems I'm back in this place once again
Feels like I've returned to this familiar place in my mind
And I've got no way out
Stuck in this mental state with no escape
I found ya
I rediscovered you
On your knees, beggin' me once again
You're pleading with me again
You're a habit I can't kick
You're an addiction that I can't let go of
You were the one, I gave you everything
You were my everything, I gave you all of me
Yeah, everything
Every part of me was given to you
But now it's nothing but a memory
Now it's all in the past, just a memory
So I'll figure it out
I will find a solution
Get off the ground
Rise above this situation
Realize I don't need you around
Understand that I can move on without you
And I see through your lies
I can see past the deceitful things you say
Your clever disguise
Your manipulative facade
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
I was entranced by your captivating gaze
But I am learning how to look the other way
I am learning to turn away from you
And break your reign on me
And end your control over me
Darling you should be shaking
You should be scared
To the core, don't you realize the power I've come to possess now
I have gained strength and control over the situation
You can hate me
You may have negative feelings towards me
All you want but don't put up
But don't pretend
This front that you're happy 'cause I know
That you're really not happy, I can tell
You're as sad as they come
You're extremely unhappy
Do you remember we had everything' Oh
Do you recall when we had it all?
I twist it all into a memory
I distort the past into a mere recollection
And break your reign on me
And put an end to your hold on me
