Breaking Down
DAY6 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's me that's near the end
Losing you was losing everything I had
It's been a while since I've noticed the first crack
But your eyes just locked me up
And just have to watch myself fall
時間と君の心を戻すこと
But I can't
I'm breaking down
散らばっている少しずつ消えていく
In the dark
いつか 滑って壊れたら
Please find my pieces and put me into one
You seem just fine, almost better on your own
I don't blame you 'cause hearts never break the same
もう一度 僕を呼んでくれれば
恋しかった 会いたかったと
涙を流すだろう
勝手 生きたら 離れて 必要なのは
時間と君の心を戻すこと
But I can't
I'm breaking down
散らばっている少しずつ消えていく
In the dark
いつか 滑って壊れたら
Please find my pieces and put me into one
I'm breaking down
散らばっている少しずつ消えていく
In the dark
いつか 滑って壊れたら
Please find my pieces and put me into one

It's not the world
The problem is not the world
But it's me that's near the end
I am the one who's struggling and on the verge of breaking down
Losing you was losing everything I had
Your loss made me lose the only thing that mattered to me
It's been a while since I've noticed the first crack
It's been a long time since I started noticing the issue
But your eyes just locked me up
But your captivating and beautiful eyes made me ignore it and kept me hooked
And just have to watch myself fall
And now I have no choice but to experience the painful consequences of ignoring the problem
勝手 生きたら 離れて 必要なのは
Selfishly living and being apart, what's necessary is
時間と君の心を戻すこと
To regain time and your heart
But I can't
But unfortunately I cannot make that happen
You seem just fine, almost better on your own
You appear to be doing well, almost better on your own
I don't blame you 'cause hearts never break the same
I don't blame you for moving on because nobody experiences heartbreak in the same way
もう一度 僕を呼んでくれれば
If only you could call on me once again
恋しかった 会いたかったと
I would cry and admit how much I missed and wanted to see you
勝手 生きたら 離れて 必要なのは
Selfishly living and being apart, what's necessary is
時間と君の心を戻すこと
To regain time and your heart
But I can't
But unfortunately I cannot make that happen
I'm breaking down
I am collapsing and falling apart
散らばっている少しずつ消えていく
Slowly fading away and scattering
In the dark
Alone and in the darkness
いつか 滑って壊れたら
If I slide and break someday
Please find my pieces and put me into one
Please gather my scattered pieces and put me back together
I'm breaking down
I am collapsing and falling apart
散らばっている少しずつ消えていく
Slowly fading away and scattering
In the dark
Alone and in the darkness
いつか 滑って壊れたら
If I slide and break someday
Please find my pieces and put me into one
Please gather my scattered pieces and put me back together

Okay, guys, let's be honest here. It's obvious that Day6 is lacking something. I've expected this would happen, especially as they have explored musical styles outside of what we were used to with their korean releases.
They're obviously lacking the skills of releasing a bad song, like they're physically incapable of doing it. It's been years now and they have never disappointed me even once that I'm starting to believe they aren't human. Day6 is perfect and thats the tea, sis.
EDIT: 2 years later and this dumbass comment still makes me an enemy of the state for like 5 seconds everytime someone reads it lol
On a serious note (and no one asked for this, I know, I just like to overshare because I'm sexy), I don't listen to them much anymore. I'm not sure what, or how it happened. I think this is one of the unspoken parts of growing up, when your special interests fade out over time without you realizing it. It's sad to think about, but it's life. So sometimes when I'm feeling nostalgic, I like to go back to my favorite songs of theirs. This track holds a special place in my heart, and I think when I lost interest in the band itself, I lost a part of me as well, the part that enjoyed my youth.
Everything was exciting then, as a fan, just waiting for releases and being content over the simplest things. I guess I'm missing the band a bit too much tonight, and this comment's too emotional now, but I just want to tell anyone who reads this that whether you're an old Day6 fan or not, I hope you were happy, because I know I was, once. Good night.

yeah Day6 has a really diverse discography, from Jrock influence, to emotional brit rock ballads, to now even some reggae vibes in their latest korean album.
If you like their Jrock sound, I recommend these tracks to help you get to know them a bit (they all have MV's too cuz the visuals are amazing):
Stop The Rain
I Wait
How can I Say
If ～また逢えたら～
Shoot Me
If you like their k-rock stuff and wanna see what else they have, the one emotional ballad that gets me everytime is I Smile. It's just,,, such a beautiful song ;-;

Day6 es arte ,de hecho mucho más que arte
Lo es todo
Los amo demasiado
A pesar de que estén a través de una pantalla para mi es suficiente
De verdad estoy muy agradecida
Son mi banda favorita
Los amo demasiado
Son los mejores
Son talento
