Break Your Heart
Avicii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got me climbing up a mountain nowhere
Baby and swimming down an ocean of Hell
(Ah, sorry, you can leave it going)
You've got me climbing up
A mountain to nowhere
'Cause when you break hearts, you do it well
And if you cared about me, I couldn't tell
Somethin' bout you is the devil
'Cause when you break hearts, you do it well
You do it well you do it well
You do it well you do it well
The lyrics to Avicii's song "Break Your Heart" depict a tumultuous relationship where the singer is constantly struggling to keep up with their partner's emotional manipulations. The first lines, "And you don't know / You've got me climbing up a mountain nowhere / Baby and swimming down an ocean of Hell" suggest that the singer is dedicated to the relationship despite feeling lost and overwhelmed. The metaphor of climbing a mountain to nowhere and swimming in an ocean of Hell highlights the feeling of being trapped and hopeless in the relationship.
The chorus, "When you break hearts, you do it well / And if you cared about me, I couldn't tell / Somethin' bout you is the devil" reveals the true nature of the partner. The line "when you break hearts, you do it well" suggests that the partner intentionally hurts others and takes pleasure in it. The second part of the chorus, "if you cared about me, I couldn't tell" highlights the emotional manipulation of the partner. They may act like they care, but their actions show that they do not. The final line, "somethin' 'bout you is the devil" further reinforces the idea that the partner has a wicked nature.
Overall, Avicii's "Break Your Heart" expresses the pain and frustration of being in a toxic relationship with a partner who intentionally hurts others. The singer feels trapped and helpless, unable to escape the emotional manipulations of the partner.
Line by Line Meaning
(And you don't know)
You are not aware of how you are affecting me
You've got me climbing up a mountain nowhere
You are leading me towards a goal that has no tangible reward or outcome
Baby and swimming down an ocean of Hell
You are pulling me down towards a dark and painful situation with no hope of escape
(Ah, sorry, you can leave it going)
I am apologizing for interrupting you and allowing you to continue with your actions
You've got me climbing up
You are making me work hard for something with no real value
A mountain to nowhere
Aimlessly striving towards an unattainable goal
You've got me swimming in an ocean of Hell
You are making me suffer through a seemingly endless struggle with no hope of relief
'Cause when you break hearts, you do it well
You are very good at hurting people emotionally
And if you cared about me, I couldn't tell
It is unclear if you have any concern for my well-being
Somethin' bout you is the devil
You have a dangerous and harmful quality to you
You do it well you do it well
You have a natural talent for causing pain
You do it well you do it well
You have a natural talent for inflicting emotional damage
