Breakdown of Sanity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break
You break me away
I can see it in your face
It seems like I'm lost in dreams
It's always the same
Everything is going to fade
There's no hope, no energy, nobody who cares
I can't get out of this misery
I see, all I can see
I'm hoping for a new life
I'll just fade away
And the time can tell me that
I'm face down but no one knows
That I can't erase it
Do you feel it now?
Do you?!
I try not to hate you
Cause that's the way I've been
So it's time to payback now
I try not to hate you
But it just won't go away
Cause that's the way I've been
So it`s time to payback now
Look down
You still push me down
Break me away.
The lyrics of "Break In" by Breakdown of Sanity present a picture of a person who seems to be going through a significant amount of pain and suffering. They seem to be at the end of their tether, with the darkness surrounding them and no hope in sight. The first lines of the song, "I'll just fade away/Break/You break me away," seem to suggest that the person has given up all hope and is ready to just disappear into the ether.
The next set of lines, "I can see it in your face/It seems like I'm lost in dreams/It's always the same/Everything is going to fade," speaks to the person feeling lost and disconnected, as if they are walking through a dream-state that never seems to end. The line "There's no hope, no energy, nobody who cares," is particularly gut-wrenching, as it speaks to the person's feeling of isolation and abandonment. The person seems to be saying that they have tried to hold on, but they are unable to get themselves out of their current situation.
The chorus of the song, "I'll just fade away/And the time can tell me that/I'm face down but no one knows/That I can't erase it/Do you feel it now?/Do you?!" shows that the person is resigned to their fate and feels invisible to others. They are screaming for someone to notice them, to understand their pain and to rescue them from it. The line, "Do you feel it now?/Do you?!" is particularly poignant, as it seems to encapsulate the person's feelings of loneliness and helplessness.
Overall, "Break In" is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles and pain of those who feel abandoned and invisible. Its lyrics are hauntingly beautiful and capture the essence of what it feels like to be on the brink of collapse.

I'll just fade away
I feel defeated and want to disintegrate into obscurity
Break
Please end my suffering and pain
You break me away
I need someone else to take control and fix me because I can't on my own
I can see it in your face
Your expression shows that you understand my pain and hardship
It seems like I'm lost in dreams
I feel disconnected from reality and can't separate dreams from reality
It's always the same
My situation is stagnant and unchanging
Everything is going to fade
My hope and dreams will disappear and be unfulfilled
Darkness is surrounding me
I feel consumed by depression, anxiety, and negativity
There's no hope, no energy, nobody who cares
I have no support system or motivation to keep moving forward
I can't get out of this misery
I feel trapped and unable to escape my current situation
I see, all I can see
Despite my struggles, I still have hope for a better future
I'm hoping for a new life
I desire a fresh start and a chance to rebuild my life
And the time can tell me that
Only time can reveal whether my dreams will come true or not
I'm face down but no one knows
I'm hiding my pain and putting on a façade of strength when really I'm weak
That I can't erase it
I can't forget the pain and trauma that I've experienced
Do you feel it now?
Do you understand and empathize with my pain?
Do you?!
I need validation and acceptance from others to feel whole
I try not to hate you
I'm attempting to forgive those who have hurt me
Cause that's the way I've been
I've been raised to repress my emotions and forgive those who wrong me
So it's time to payback now
It's time for those who have hurt me to feel my pain as well
You still push me down
Others are still causing me pain and making me feel inferior
Break me away
Please end my pain and help me escape this cycle of trauma and suffering
