Breaking Point
Crown the Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all
Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes
There for you
Even through
Thick and thin
I will never fall
When hope is lost
But now I see
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see
It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all
Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes
Take me away
Away from here
Because everyday
Is turning into years
With every moment
I feel deeper and deeper
My hearts a sinking ship
Now I see
the hour hand moving faster and faster
Our time is running out
Move quick or never remember
Open your eyes and you'll see
It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all
Explore the world we must
Time's just to short for the best of us
Before death comes
Life's just to short to go and throw it away
It's all we have let's make the best of today
And now I see, the hour hand moving faster and faster
It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all
Explore the world we must
Time's just to short even for the best of us
Before death comes
It's probably just the things I do
That make me vital for you
There's a breaking point in us all
Explore the world we must
Time's just to short even for the best of us
Before death comes
Ohh shit!
The lyrics of Crown the Empire's song "Breaking Point" are loaded with meaning and thought-provoking messages. The song is an anthem for the human spirit, a call to action that encourages us to push through our limits and explore life to the fullest. The song's opening line, "It's probably just the things I do that make me vital for you," suggests that our actions and behavior have a significant impact on others around us. The singer believes that what he does makes him essential to someone else, and he must keep going even when he reaches his breaking point.
The chorus of the song, "There's a breaking point in us all," emphasizes the idea that everyone has a breaking point, an emotional or physical limit beyond which they cannot go. The singer encourages us to explore the world around us thoroughly because time is short. Death is an eventual reality that we all must face, and the urgency to live our lives to the fullest becomes more critical as time passes. The song's mood then shifts to an emotional plea for help, as the singer says, "Take me away from here because every day is turning into years." His heart is a "sinking ship," and he calls for someone to save him and take him away from his troubles.
The chorus repeats the message that our time is short, and we must make the best of it before death comes. The song concludes with a sense of urgency that encourages the listener to seize the moment and live their best life. The line, "Life's just too short to go and throw it away," reminds us that our time on this earth is finite, and we must make every day count.

It's probably just the things I do
The actions I take might be the reason for our connection
That make me vital for you
They make me important to you
There's a breaking point in us all
Everyone has a limit
Explore the world we must
We need to take on new experiences
Time's just to short for the best of us
We might not have as much time as we think
Before death comes
Before our time is up
I will be
I promise to be there
There for you
To support you through anything
Even through
Even when faced with
Thick and thin
Challenging situations and easy situations alike
I will never fall
I will not falter in my support for you
When hope is lost
Even when it seems that there is no chance
But now I see
My perspective has changed
The hour hand moving faster and faster
Time is passing quickly
Our time is running out
Our time together is limited
Move quick or never remember
Take action now or regret later
Open your eyes and you'll see
Take a closer look and you'll understand
Take me away
Remove me from this current situation
Away from here
To a different place or circumstance
Because everyday
Due to the fact that with each day
Is turning into years
Time is slipping away
With every moment
With each passing second
I feel deeper and deeper
My emotions become more intense
My hearts a sinking ship
I am feeling lost and overwhelmed
Life's just to short to go and throw it away
We must treasure our time and not waste it
It's all we have let's make the best of today
Since time is limited, let's make the most of now
Ohh shit!
An exclamation of intense emotion

decided to have a listen after many years, this is the band that got me into metal, and seen them live at warped tour 2016 and 2018

I did the same thing. My good friend and I found them from a Call of Duty montage when their only releases were Breaking Point, Wake Me Up, and Voices (I believe). Literally watching them go from those singles to signing with their record company and making Limitless and The Fallout was truly a great experience.

How can people not like this more than the original? That's crazy. You can definitely tell they've gotten a lot better having more time to experience more with the band and with their studio. This band literally gets better as time goes on. Can't wait for this album.

I still remember when i was 16 and this song came out and i legit screamed because I was so excited for the new version. Then proceeded to try and learn how to sing and scream so I could sing this song. Thank you crown the empire for giving me some serious inspiration 8 years ago. I'm just here to pay my tributes :)
Connie Moss
I truly was a die hard fan of the EP verson. But for real, the production is SO much better in this version. And they improved so much musically. Not to mention Dave is a better screamer. It's just a better all around song now, and I'm incredibly stoked for the rest of their reissue! Keep it up CTE!

2:35 The most subtle yet powerful breakdowns ive ever heard holy crap this band is amazing.
ccoreybarkleyy
This is a major improvement from the original... Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
Alyssa Purdy
It was a great idea to do this. Andy's voice has matured since then and so has Crown The Empire's sound. So much better without the techno-ish part. Genius idea.
Colter Womack
WHAT are all of you guys talking about!? This is an amazing new step/direction for Crown The Empire. Bands mature. These guys are doing it extraordinarily! I hope the rest of their reissue delivers like this does!
Flakeski
They need to just do a whole reissue of Limitless as a whole EP. It inspired me in more ways than just musically. Hell, I have Limitless tattooed across my chest.
