Matter of Time
Breed 77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you are all dying for me, not this time
If all the pain you've given could somehow just disappear
It wouldn't be just a figure, it wouldn't be standing
You wouldn't be standing
Here, here
We took so long to fade
You see the mess we made
Waiting for a clock to break
Waiting for our souls to break
Wasting every breath I take
Yeah
We pick up the broken pieces, then we start again
We've got to destroy the circle if we want to stay
I jumped off a mountain to see if I could fly
Now it's getting closer, I'll see you on the other side
Here, here
We took so long to fade
Here, here
You see the mess we made
Waiting for a clock to break
Waiting for our souls to break
Wasting every breath I take
Here
(Here, here, here)
Here, here
We took so long to fade
Here, here
You see the mess we made
Waiting for a clock to break
Waiting for our souls to break
Hating every breath I take
Here
Here
The lyrics to Breed 77's "Matter Of Time" reveal a sense of defiance in the face of pain and suffering. The singer acknowledges the tears and pain that others have caused them, but makes it clear that they won't let it break them. There is a rejection of the idea that their pain is just a "figure" or a temporary state - they are standing strong and won't let it defeat them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Here, here" - perhaps as a way to emphasize that they are present and strong in this moment, not fading away as others may have expected.
The lyrics go on to talk about starting anew and breaking the cycle of pain, acknowledging that it's a difficult process that requires effort and determination. The line "I jumped off a mountain to see if I could fly, now it's getting closer, I'll see you on the other side" seems to suggest that the singer has taken risks in their life and is prepared to face the consequences - they have faith that they will come out on top. The theme of waiting for something to break recurs throughout the song, perhaps symbolizing a sense of stagnation or frustration that the singer is grappling with.

It feels like you walked off stage one day and into the studio the next, time has stood still and you have still the most soul stirring sound. If you play it, they will listen <3

This is a wonderful idea. Would also be an idea to gwt the new material through fan funding as well. I know I loved the last one Breed did. I still find it hard to take in that the boys are back. I never saw this coming 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Jesus christ I have prayed for this moment. Beautiful track, hoping new material is on its way. So so happy. 😊😊😊😊💙💙💙

Man I'm so stoked that this is some how come to be. I was devastated when one of my favourite bands came to the decision to stop. At the time I didn't understand it, I couldn't comprehend why but now as I get older I fully appreciate the reasoning behind it. That all said, honestly it is so good to hear this sound once again. Even now it is just so unique. I hoped and genuinely prayed that I would hear it again and have the opportunity to see you play at least one more time. Guys, I fully believe in this band, always have and you have my full support no matter what.

Still sounding incredible. Like many others, I've been really excited seeing the teaser on FB, the new Insta etc etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping there will be a new tour of bands can ever tour again.
