The Truth
Break Even Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in a city
That knows my name more then myself
Lost in myself
In a city that knows my name to well
What the fuck am I doing here?
When all I want to know is who I am
Eyes on me from everyone
Believe me
I don't have the answers your looking for

Do you see the truth in me?
Or just what I want you to see?

Do you see the truth in me, in me, in me?

So what does life mean to me
All the roads I've travelled
And now all the places I've seen
Nothing, nothing makes sense to me...

So what does life mean to me
All the roads I've travelled
And now all the places I've seen
Nothing, nothing makes sense to me

Sometimes we have to get "lost" to really find are selves

And I can't put the pieces all together
(We have defined ourselves)

I don't know
What I'm looking for
I don't know
What I'm here for

So what does life mean to me
All the roads I've travalled




And now all the places I've seen
Nothing, nothing makes sense to me...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Break Even's song The Truth reflect the feeling of being lost and confused. The song's opening lines, "Lost in a city that knows my name more than myself, lost in myself, in a city that knows my name too well," depict the feeling of being lost in familiar surroundings. The next line, "What the fuck am I doing here?" conveys a sense of aimlessness and confusion. The singer is questioning their identity, wondering who they truly are, and has a sense that everyone is watching them and expecting them to have all the answers.


The chorus of the song asks the listener "Do you see the truth in me? Or just what I want you to see?" The singer is wondering if people see the real him, or just the persona that he puts out to the world.


The song also touches on the idea of finding oneself through being lost, with the lyrics "Sometimes we have to get 'lost' to really find ourselves." The overall message of the song is one of introspection, self-discovery, and the difficulties that come with finding one's place in the world.

@@tafzilemani5794 Poem: (Breaking free form being deceived)
Hollywood graveyard = empty graves and tombs.
Characters still on stage playing rolls.
Public crying after their fake deaths are announced.
Advanced A.I fooling mankind day and night.
We all admire their lives – don`t we?
Is it hard to believe that all of it is nothing more then a digital fakery?
The bloodline keeping their wealth and power among themselves.
Yet we dare to believe -
- the hollywood stars to be real.

"Breakeven"

[Intro]
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

[Verse 1]
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven
Even... no

[Chorus]
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

[Verse 2]
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even, even
... no

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

[Bridge]
Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

[Verse 3]
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break no it don't break even no

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

[Outro]
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
