Before It Explodes
Charice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not a question of love
'Cause our love has never changed
But all the little things keep piling up
And life keeps getting in the way

Don't make this harder than it is
We both knew it'd come to this
Better now than in a year
More nights of tears and we both hate each other
The fuse is already lit, so how about a final kiss
And just let it go
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

Somethings we won't understand
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood
So let's just turn and walk away
And hold on to what was good

Before it explodes, before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness before it explodes




We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

Overall Meaning

In Charice's song, "Before It Explodes," the lyrics depict a couple on the brink of a breakup. The chorus emphasizes the need to stop the "madness" before it becomes too much to handle and explodes out of their control. The tone throughout is regretful yet accepting, as the couple recognizes that things just haven't been working out and they must move on.


The opening lines of "It's not a question of love, 'Cause our love has never changed" are particularly poignant, as they suggest that the love between these two individuals is still present, but something else - perhaps a series of little things or life circumstances - is getting in the way. The chorus emphasizes the importance of letting go before things get even worse, with a final kiss serving as a symbolic ending to the relationship. The verses are reflective in nature, with the singer acknowledging that some things are simply outside of their understanding or control.


Overall, "Before It Explodes" is a powerful song about recognizing the need to end a relationship before things completely fall apart. The lyrics are both heartfelt and honest, painting a picture of two individuals who care for each other but realize that they must move on in order to preserve their sanity and well-being.


Line by Line Meaning

It's not a question of love
Our love is not the problem


'Cause our love has never changed
We have always loved each other the same way


But all the little things keep piling up
Small issues keep adding up and causing trouble


And life keeps getting in the way
Challenges and responsibilities keep hindering us


Don't make this harder than it is
Let's not complicate things unnecessarily


We both knew it'd come to this
We both anticipated that this would happen


Better now than in a year
It's better to end things now than prolong the pain


More nights of tears and we both hate each other
Continuing the relationship will only lead to more sadness and resentment


The fuse is already lit, so how about a final kiss
The final goodbye is imminent, so let's share one last kiss


And just let it go
We need to release each other and the relationship


And stop the madness before it explodes
We must put an end to the chaos before it gets worse


Before it's out of our control
Before we lose control of the situation


Let's stop the madness before it explodes
We need to halt the turmoil before it escalates


We gotta let it go
We must accept that it's over and move on


Somethings we won't understand
Sometimes, there are things that are beyond our comprehension


And we're both so tired of being misunderstood
We are exhausted from being misinterpreted by each other


So let's just turn and walk away
Let's end things calmly and walk away


And hold on to what was good
We should cherish the good memories of our relationship

"Before It Explodes"

[Verse 1:]
It's not a question of love
'Cause our love has never changed.
But all the little things keep piling up
And life keeps getting in the way

Don't make this harder than it is
We both knew we'd come to this
Better now than in a year
With lots of tears
And we both hate each other
The fuse has already lit
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go

[Chorus:]
Stop the madness,
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

[Verse 2:]
Some things we won't understand
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood
So let's just turn around and walk away
And hold on to what was good

Don't make this harder than it is
We both knew we'd come to this
Better now than in a year
With lots of tears
And we both hate each other
The fuse has already lit
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go

[Chorus:]
Stop the madness
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

[Bridge:]
There ain't nothing that can save us
We're too close to the end
And what's the use of going on
If we lie to each other, every word that is said
It's too late for us now
Cause we can hear the countdown
It's getting close
It's gonna blow
Stop the madness!

[Chorus:]
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes
