Breaking Ties
Eric Prydz vs. OceanLab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel it to the bone
Oh when you say you know
I feel I am not alone
And even though I may return
To empty places on my own
Where I remember everything
And you provide a parachute
When I am falling like a stone
And I remember there's a life
That I have not lived yet
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?
I hear the words you say
Your mouth against my skin
My world just falls away
You light me from within
And even though I may return
To empty places on my own
Where I remember everything
You want me to forget
And you provide a parachute
When I am falling like a stone
And I remember there's a life
That I have not lived yet
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?
Truth and lies
Breaking ties
You and I, truth and lies
I've been fooling myself too long
You and I, breaking ties
How could we be so right and so wrong?
The lyrics of Eric Prydz vs. OceanLab's song Breaking Ties are about a relationship in which the singer is hesitant to fully commit, but is unable to resist the attraction to their partner. The first verse describes a feeling of loneliness, which is alleviated by the presence of their love interest. The chorus speaks to the conflict of trying to decipher the truth in their relationship, which is both right and wrong at the same time. The second verse underscores the physical connection between the two, with the singer experiencing a sense of transformation. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes the ongoing struggle of the singer to understand the complexities of their relationship.
The lyrics of Breaking Ties are well-crafted and poignant, but the song's true strength lies in its dynamic and atmospheric production. The music builds slowly from a gentle intro to a powerful climax, with layers of synths and drums adding depth and intensity. The combination of Eric Prydz's impressive electronic production skills and OceanLab's haunting vocals creates a song that is both emotionally satisfying and sonically stunning.
