The lyrics to "Fracture" by Bleed from Within delve into themes of inner turmoil, heartache, and the realization that certain relationships or situations were doomed from the start. The opening lines, "I should've known, saw it was dark from the start. Not what was but what surrounded my heart," suggest a sense of regret and hindsight. The singer acknowledges that they missed the warning signs and allowed themselves to be consumed by darkness.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of being alone and worn down, as expressed through the line "I'll walk these roads alone, barefoot and worn to the bone." This imagery highlights the emotional exhaustion and weariness the singer feels as they continue to endure pain, confusion, and disdain.
The song's chorus, with the lines "We're nothing but fractures. And I can't tell you how I want it to be. It fell apart at the seams. We are cracked and fractured," speaks to the brokenness and disintegration of a relationship. The singer recognizes that they are caught between right and wrong, torn between the desire to hold on and the awareness that it is futile.
As the song progresses, the lyrics express a sense of self-destruction and the realization that the singer has contributed to their own pain. The lines "I tore a hole in myself to fit you in. I clawed at the walls we built to wear them thin" reflect the desperation and self-sacrifice the singer went through, ultimately leading to disappointment and hurt. They acknowledge their own failures and the consequences of their actions.
The closing lines, "Soon I'll be gone and peace will be made. I'm drowning, I can't reach the air. It's true, salvation is a myth. Why do we chase that which we cannot grip? Fuck it," encapsulate a feeling of resignation and hopelessness. The singer no longer believes in salvation or finding peace amidst their struggles and frustrations.
Overall, "Fracture" portrays a sense of introspection, regret, and the acceptance of a painful reality. It explores the complexities of relationships and the weight of emotional turmoil.

This album is so tight, but if I were to rank each and every track here's how I would:
1. The End of All We Know (Those tapping leads are INSANE!)
2. Fracture (Super flowy breakdown)
3. ADTNOD (A Depth That No One Dares) (Pretty much just a black metal Bleed From Within xD)
4. Night Crossing (Partly because of the music video, but also because it features my boy MATT HEAFY!) (And still is super awesome)
5. Pathfinder (Probably the best breakdown on the album TBH)
6. For All To See (The breakdown is super flowy and super heavy at the same time, but it gets a little dry at around verse 2)
7. Ascend (Awesome chorus! Super symphonic! A little different from the typical BFW song, but still felt a little dry around verse 2)
8. Fall Away (Pretty good song, has a super raw and angry ending which is super sick! But doesn't really capture anything that the other songs did)
9. Utopia (Probably the most basic song on the album, felt like a filler TBH, but still rips!)
10. Into Nothing (This song is cool, but again, feels pretty basic. It has a cool solo though!)
