Meltdown
Death feat. Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the tension
(I feel the tension)
Confessions told
(Tell me, tell me everything)
Insanity is taking over
The fantasies are driving me mad
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I'm suffocating, don't leave me here waiting
The cry within
(Cry within)
The flesh is bold
(Tell me, tell me everything)
Calamity is waiting silent
The razor is cutting the pain and letting it out
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I'm suffocating, don't leave me here waiting
Over and over in my head
I see your scars
Remember the day when we first met
Take me back
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I'm suffocating, don't leave me here waiting

Meltdown
The song Meltdown by Death feat. Love delves into the experience of a person who is undergoing a severe breakdown, either mental or emotional. The lyrics illustrate a sense of inner turmoil and extreme tension that the person is feeling which is leading them towards insanity. The person is confessing everything they feel and think, and the fantasies are driving them mad. The feeling of suffocation is overwhelming them, and they are waiting for someone to take away their tears and be with them.
The song lays emphasis on the internal struggle of a person who is going through a lot of pain and despair. The line "The razor is cutting the pain and letting it out" is an evocative metaphor that shows the person is using self-harm as a way to release the agony they are experiencing. The lyrics "I'm suffocating, don't leave me here waiting" depict the desperation and vulnerability of the person who needs somebody to hold and comfort them.
In summary, Meltdown addresses the dark and distressing emotions that come with a severe mental breakdown. It's a hymn to the depths of the psyche, where pain and longing coexist.

@zenoxp8928
smokymountaingirl Betsy See I am going through a lot of stuff I don't believe in Christianity but I believe there is something out there keeping the balance between worlds...
@mclonhoodii4605
I agree with you.
I never was a fan of korn now that Brian Head Welch is a Christian ✝️ it's amazing how God is using him to reach out to lost souls who may be going through something he had been going through before he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal lord and savior.
It's amazing how Jesus Christ can change a person's life if they would just give them a chance trust me it's totally worth it i know because he did it for me and I'm living proof of that.

@mclonhoodii4605

I apologize for the typo.
@betsybk11
@Xenolane Neza and Emzie Pendulum I understand. I have been there! My son is going through that doubt right now but he did not used to believe! I pray Jesus will call him back into his arms but I don't push it. Prayers for you!
