Big Break
Elvis Depressedly Lyrics

The lyrics in Elvis Depressedly's song Big Break evoke feelings of despair and hopelessness, with a focus on the idea of waiting for something significant that may never come. The first line "I've always been a fake, waiting on the big break that never comes" expresses a sense of disillusionment and disappointment in oneself, as though the singer is trapped in a cycle of hopelessness that they can't seem to break free from.

The second verse contains striking imagery of a river that "knows your name" and an ocean that "drowns its teeth" in the singer's "pathetic dreams." This image is both eerie and powerful, highlighting the destructive power of one's innermost thoughts and emotions. The lyrics "And kills them while you're watching" suggest a sense of powerlessness, with the singer feeling as though they are powerless to stop their own self-destructive tendencies.

The final lines of the song contain a quote, "That's why when you get a preacher that starts preaching blasphemy, you know that even this gospel called christian is connected with the body of satan." This quote complicates the lyrics, suggesting that even within religious communities there can be darkness lurking beneath the surface. The line speaks to the idea that appearances can be deceiving, and there may be more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye.
