Windbreaker
Choker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you trying to make me cry?
'Cause it's working
Oh, it's working, yeah

Hold my sleeve as I push it through the jacket
So it doesn't bunch
I don't miss you much
But I do enough to question where we left off

There was a lot of me to be found before us

More of the same
More of the same after

This is not a declaration
It's a confirmation of what you already believed, you already believed
Oooh, yeah

Are you trying to make me cry?
'Cause it's working
Oh, it's working, yeah

Hold my sleeve as I push it through the jacket
So it doesn't bunch
I don't miss you much
Just enough to feel some way
Just enough, just enough, just enough, just enough

The wheel turns, yeah
The tires hold on
The fire burns, yeah
But I ain't no Boy Scout
I wonder why you actin' like I don't pay attention, yeah
You know better, ay, ay
You know better, ay, ay
If I wanna believe
If I wanna believe

Yeah

When we run out of things to talk
about will you still listen to our silence?

Overall Meaning

The singer of the song "Windbreaker" by Choker addresses a past love interest who seems to be trying to hurt his feelings. He admits that it is working and acknowledges his emotions. He describes a physical action of pushing his sleeve through a jacket as he tries to make it appear neat. The lyrics suggest that this small jitter may be a representation of how the singer misses his former love enough to ruminate on it but not enough to take significant action. The artist seems to have moved on from the relationship, but there is a sense of unresolved tension around it.

The song's verses show the contrast that exists between the artist's perception of himself before the end of the relationship and his present self. There was a lot he had to discover about himself before the past relationship happened. However, after the breakup, there hasn't been much change in his life, implying the possibility that he hasn't moved on entirely. The song explores how we tend to stick to the same patterns even after significant events such as breakups, refusing to allow ourselves to grow.
