Breakdown
Broach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The mirror paints a broken man
His memories fade away like sand

His surroundings feel like a cage
Nothing to satisfy his predatory rage
His anxieties he's obscure his view of the truth

He breaks down, down, down
He fell on the floor
Down, down, down
He can't get up anymore
Down, down, down
He just lost the ground
Down, down, down
He breaks down

Grief perfuses his body and soul
He fell into a deep hole

His future buried behind dark walls
He can't find the door and falls
His anxieties he's obscure his view of the truth

He breaks down, down, down
He fell on the floor
Down, down, down
He can't get up anymore
Down, down, down
He just lost the ground
Down, down, down
He breaks down

He breaks down
He breaks down
Oh down

Paralysed with fear
You shed a flood of tears
You know your end is near

Go

He breaks down, down, down
He fell on the floor
Down, down, down
He can't get up anymore
Down, down, down
He just lost the ground




Down, down, down
He breaks down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Broach's song "Breakdown" describe a man who is struggling with his past, present, and future. The first verse describes how he feels trapped and angry, unable to see the truth through his anxiety. This is further emphasized in the second verse, where he falls into a deep hole of grief and despair, unable to see a way out.


The chorus repeats the phrase "he breaks down" four times, emphasizing the weight of his emotional struggle. The final verse adds a sense of urgency, with the lines "paralyzed with fear, you shed a flood of tears, you know your end is near" hinting at the danger that this man is in.


Overall, the song seems to be about the danger of ignoring one's emotions and the toll that can take on a person. The repeated chorus of "he breaks down" suggests that this man is on the brink of collapse, and the urgency in the final verse suggests that he may not have much time left to turn things around.
