Break Down The Walls
Asking Alexandria (UK) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close your eyes and leave all your fears behind (it's alright)
Close your eyes and follow me until the end

So if you're hopeless
We can pick up the pieces
And if you're broken
I can carry the pain
Are you with me?

Watching the flames rise high (yeah)

Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You can't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all!
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

Don't let go
We carry our torches high (always burning)
Come too far
To throw it all away
So are you with me?
Watching the flames rise high (yeah)

Sing this with me
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You can't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

I like the mess
I watch you fall to the ground
As the embers rise
And the smoke fills the air

I break down the walls
I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
Scream and shout
Till the lights go out
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
We won't take this
You won't break us
We won't stop until the world is in our hands
I break down the walls

I want it all
I won't stop until I burn this to the ground

Line by Line Meaning

Close your eyes and leave all your fears behind (it's alright)
Trust me and forget your worries

Close your eyes and follow me until the end
Have faith in me and stay with me until the end

So if you're hopeless
If you feel lost and without hope

We can pick up the pieces
We can pick up what is left and rebuild

And if you're broken
If you are shattered

I can carry the pain
I can help you bear the anguish

Are you with me?
Will you stand by my side?

Watching the flames rise high (yeah)
As we witness the fire growing powerful

Sing this with me
Let's sing this together

I break down the walls
I want to tear down the obstacles

I want it all
I want everything I've been deprived of

I won't stop until I burn this to the ground
I will persevere until I have achieved my objective

Scream and shout
Let's express our emotions loudly

Till the lights go out
Until darkness surrounds us

We won't take this
We won't tolerate this

You can't break us
We are stronger than what you think

We won't stop until the world is in our hands
We won't give up until we have everything we desire

Don't let go
Don't lose faith

We carry our torches high (always burning)
We carry on our legacy adamantly

Come too far
We have progressed too much

To throw it all away
To lose everything

I like the mess
I enjoy the havoc

I watch you fall to the ground
I watch you tumble to the earth

As the embers rise
As the glowing sparks ascend

And the smoke fills the air
As the dense plumes obscure the horizon

You won't break us
We are unbreakable

People need to understand that AA have grown up, the album talks about the struggle they went through since they became big. It talks about how they faced the problems that drugs and alcohol brought. They understood what they did wrong and fixed it. They aren't sell outs or 'become a worse band'. They have changed the sound, now the sound like a true rock band. AA fans should be supporting them not saying they miss the 'old AA'. They are the same people with a different mind frame.

You are so correct. I saw AA 3/21/2010 and i've been a huge fan since their first album. I enjoy their older stuff, but this newer album really shows how they have grown up. its got a more METAL feel instead of the Metalcore we are all used to. awesome.

This album is by far the best they've released. There's an awesome sense of maturity to this album. Everything beforehand was the result and angsty, emo, teenagers making angry emotion music. I still enjoy the first albums, but after hearing this album once it came out, it's hard to imagine the band any other way. This seriously turned the band from a joke into something more legendary amongst the metal community.
