Broken Down
Broken Down Feat. Meredith Call Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it never was
We are never what we see
Set you up to
Let you down, I'm afraid
Darling do you see how
Our lies become the truth
Built you up to
Break you down, I'm afraid
Darling it feels good
When they let you in
Don't you play the fool
They will only
Let you down if you stay
We can't all be broken down, I'm afraid
I'm afraid
Holy Hell,
We've hit the bottom running,
To the ones we love,
To the ones we hurt.
Holy Hell,
We've hit the bottom feeding,
On the ones we love,
On the ones we hurt
The lyrics of the song "Broken Down" by Tritonal featuring Meredith Call revolves around the idea of betrayal and deceit. In the first stanza, the singer implies that they have let someone down and made them believe in something that wasn't true. The lyrics "Set you up to let you down, I'm afraid" suggest that they had raised someone's expectations and then disappointed them. The second stanza continues with the same theme by stating that the lies they told have become the truth, and they never said what they meant. This implies that they have been dishonest and fake.
In the chorus, the singer warns the listener to be careful about the people they trust. They suggest that sometimes it feels good to be accepted, but not everyone will stay true to their word. The lyrics "Don't you play the fool, they will only let you down if you stay" convey the message that it's better to cut ties with people who don't deserve your trust than to end up hurt. The bridge emphasizes the song's theme of consequences by saying that the betrayal of trust will come back to haunt us. The lyrics "To the ones we love, to the ones we hurt" indicate that our actions have repercussions on those we care about and those we have hurt.

Darling you see now
You now realize
That it never was
That it was never real
We are never what we see
We are never what we appear to be
Set you up to
I prepared you to
Let you down, I'm afraid
Disappoint you, I fear
Darling do you see how
Do you now see how
Our lies become the truth
Our lies become our reality
We never said what we mean
We never expressed our true intentions
Built you up to
I raised you up to
Break you down, I'm afraid
Tear you down, I fear
Darling it feels good
It feels good, my love
When they let you in
When they accept you into their lives
Don't you play the fool
Don't be naive
They will only
They will do nothing but
Let you down if you stay
Disappoint you if you stay
We can't all be broken down, I'm afraid
Not all of us can be broken down, sadly
Holy Hell,
OMG
We've hit the bottom running,
We've reached the lowest point and are moving fast
To the ones we love,
To those we care for
To the ones we hurt.
To those we've harmed
Holy Hell,
OMG
We've hit the bottom feeding,
We've reached the lowest point and are now consuming
On the ones we love,
Those we care for
On the ones we hurt
Those we've caused pain to
