Live For Today
Breaking Point Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We shared a time
You walked away
Never had a chance to tell you just how I felt
So we carried lies upon our minds
I could never find it to say goodbye....Goodbye..

All that I desire is that we leave here today
All that I require is that we live for today

So we carried on our own alone
You didn't even stop to question
What was, it's gone
I remember your eyes,
It's been so long
I can find the strength to carry on
Carry on,
Carry on

All that I desire is that we leave here today
All that I require is that we live for today

And I tried to erase you
But I'm left with a permanent stain
And it didn't even faze you
You know, all wounds heal in time, but scars remain

All that I desire is that we leave here today
All that I require is that we live for today

All that I desire is that we leave here today





Now we're together, it's now or never
We can only live for today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Breaking Point's song "Live For Today" express regret about a lost relationship and the desire to make amends. The singer laments that they were not able to express their feelings before the relationship ended, and they were left carrying "lies upon our minds." The pain of the breakup is evident in the lines "And I tried to erase you, but I'm left with a permanent stain / And it didn't even faze you, you know, all wounds heal in time, but scars remain." However, despite the hurt, the singer wants to move forward and live in the present. The line "We can only live for today" expresses the idea that dwelling on the past is futile and that the only thing that matters is the moment in which we are living.


The overall message of the song is one of hope and renewal. The singer acknowledges the pain of the past but chooses to focus on the present and the future. The repetition of the phrase "All that I desire is that we live for today" emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The song encourages us to let go of the past, forgive ourselves, and embrace the present.


Line by Line Meaning

We shared a time
We had a moment together


You walked away
You left without saying goodbye


Never had a chance to tell you just how I felt
I missed the opportunity to express my emotions to you


So we carried lies upon our minds
We held onto false beliefs and ideas


I could never find it to say goodbye....Goodbye..
I couldn't find the words to bid farewell


All that I desire is that we leave here today
I want us to move on from the past


All that I require is that we live for today
I just want us to focus on the present


So we carried on our own alone
We continued with our lives separately


You didn't even stop to question
You didn't bother to ask


What was, it's gone
The past is in the past


I remember your eyes,
I recall your gaze


It's been so long
It's been ages since we last met


I can find the strength to carry on
I can keep going, despite the challenges


Carry on, Carry on, Carry on
Keep going, keep going, keep going


And I tried to erase you
I attempted to forget about you


But I'm left with a permanent stain
But your memory lingers on


And it didn't even faze you
And you didn't seem to care


You know, all wounds heal in time, but scars remain
I know that eventually the pain will fade, but the memories will linger


Now we're together, it's now or never
We have a chance to reconnect, but we need to act now


We can only live for today
We can't change the past or predict the future, so let's focus on making the most out of today

Yeah! 

Spitting out my (Poison) 
Acidic taste on the tip on my tongue, 
I can't take your (Medicine) 
You're so bitter better get up and run 

Warning! Eye for an eye 
When revenge comes charging 
Warning! Eye for an eye 
You won't see it coming 
... You won't see it coming... 

If you carry on, 
You won't win that fight, 
If you take me on, 
You'll find my breaking point 

Please don't test my (Patience) 
My short fuse you don't wanna ignite, 
Do not scratch the (Surface) 
And wake the beast cause it's ready to fight 

Warning! 
Eye for an eye 
When revenge comes knocking 
Warning! 
Eye for an eye 
You won't feel it coming 
... You won't feel it coming... 

If you carry on, 
You won't win that fight, 
If you take me on, 
You'll find my breaking point 

Everybody's got a breaking point, 
Nobody wants to see that side of me, 
Stop pushing 'cause I won't back down, 
Nobody's gonna break that part of me 

[Solo] 

It's an eye for an eye 
It's an eye for an eye 
It's an eye for an eye 
It's an eye for an eye 

If you carry on, 
You won't win that fight, 
If you take me on, 
You'll find my breaking point 

If you carry on, 
You won't win that fight, 
If you take me on, 
You'll find my breaking point 

Yeah! 

I'm at my breaking point

They always have the best guitar solos

Mad respect to Bullet! They haven't sold out and are still staying true to their metal roots!

I love this album. It's actually my favourite one. I had heard of and known a few of their songs in the past. But I went through some rough stuff and came across a few songs on temper temper that really grabbed me and felt like they were talking about my life. Haven't ever let go of the band since and they're now one of my all time favourite bands. Would make me so freaking happy to see them live. Much love from New Zealand

It took me quite a while to like Temper Temper, but eventually I realised that Bullet are still going in the right direction. The songs off this album might be different, but are very unique. Honestly I can't say the same for A7X's Hail to the King because it was essentially a cover album in my eyes.It's only my 2 cents' worth.

Hail is Amazing i'm sure you know that 9y After ;)

this album hits just right after a bad work experience. stands the test of time. good stuff even if many ( myself included ) didn't care for it on release.

Was skeptical about buying this album at first, but I listened to the whole thing last night and fell in love with it. I don't see why people are hating it, but that's just me. They still sound like Bullet, because they still /are/ Bullet. Their name didn't change, so why would some of youse say that they changed and aren't the same band anymore? Bands go through changes and most of them are for the better, while others are for growth in general. Oli Sykes from Bring Me The Horizon is a great example of this. A lot of people didn't like their single "Drown" when it first came out. Oli changed his vocal style so that he didn't further damage his vocal cords. He did a change for himself and got a lot of shit for it, but I'm honestly proud of him. It takes guts sometimes to put your own personal health above sound when it comes to this type of career. I'm also proud of Matt. He got that surgery to help with his vocals, and he /still/ sounds great! I will admit that it took me a little while to get used to his short hair, but I still enjoyed their somewhat new sound. Bullet for my Valentine will always be my favourite metalcore band and will continue to be hold that spot until I either die or if I sadly grow to not enjoy this genre anymore. If that does happen, then so be it. One cannot change without growing, and one cannot grow without changing.

No matter what bullet writes its on point each album is different and awesome there not even my # 1 favorite there 2nd to motley crue and im as metal as it gets bullet kills on each song
