Break It Down
Fix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I said I'm tryin'.
You're fine, I don't think I'm all that sound,
And my head is flyin'.
I keep forgetting where I was goin',
When this whole thing started.
Someone tripped a while,
Burn it down,
If it gets you through the hour.
Show me just what I
Did, what I did to lose it.
Hold yourself
Like a bunch of dyin' flowers.
Don't you cry for that
Time, all that time
We wasted.
You love that heartache makes you a fool,
And the bad guys get in,
To poke down deep inside of your soul,
But you claim you let them.
Go on, touch the fire.
I won't say a word, and
Burn it down,
If it gets you through to hour.
Show me just what I
Did, what I did to lose it.
Hold yourself
Like a bunch of dyin' flowers.
Don't you cry for that
Time, all that time we wasted.
Leave it alone,
Why go through so much
Trouble for this,
Trouble for that.
Someone should say
Something out loud.
Hold yourself,
Like a bunch of dying flowers.
Don't you cry for that
Time, all that time we wasted.
Burn it down,
If it gets you through the hour.
Show me just what I
Did, what I did to lose it.
Hold yourself,
Like a bunch of dying flowers.
Don't you cry for that
Time, all that time
We wasted.
The lyrics to Fix's song 'Break it Down' depict a person who is struggling to find direction in their life. The first stanza introduces a character who is feeling lost and uncertain about where they are headed. They are unsure of themselves, and their head is spinning with all the choices and decisions they need to make. However, the second stanza shows that the person has let something go wrong, and it has affected everything else. They are trapped in a cycle of failure, and they are desperate to fix it.
The chorus of the song suggests that the only way to move forward is to 'burn it down' - that is, to let go of the past and start anew. The person is encouraged to face their mistakes and losses head-on, to show themselves exactly what they did wrong and why they lost it all. The imagery of dying flowers could represent the person's loss of hope and vitality; however, they are encouraged not to cry for that time - this is a new beginning.
The final stanza features a possible conversation between two people, with one asking why the other is going through so much trouble for something that may not be worth it. The person is encouraged to hold themselves together and not to cry over lost time - it's gone, and there's a new journey ahead. The song ends with a final chorus urging the person to let go of the past and start again.
Line by Line Meaning
She said, boy, pick yourself off the ground,
She told me to get up and move on,
And I said I'm tryin'.
I replied that I was doing my best to recover,
You're fine, I don't think I'm all that sound,
She reassured me that she's okay, but I'm not sure I am,
And my head is flyin'.
I feel overwhelmed and confused,
I keep forgetting where I was goin',
I lost my sense of direction,
When this whole thing started.
Ever since this situation began,
Someone tripped a while,
There was a mistake made by someone,
I messed up everything so
I made everything worse by my own actions,
Burn it down,
Destroy it,
If it gets you through to hour.
If it helps you cope for the moment,
Show me just what I
Tell me what I
Did, what I did to lose it.
Did wrong or failed to do to mess this up,
Hold yourself
Comfort yourself,
Like a bunch of dying flowers.
Like flowers that are fading and wilted,
Don't you cry for that
Don't be upset over that
Time, all that time we wasted.
Time we spent in vain or uselessly
You love that heartache makes you a fool,
You feel the pain and heartbreak make you vulnerable and foolish,
And the bad guys get in,
And the negative or toxic people get into your life and harm you,
To poke down deep inside of your soul,
To invade your innermost thoughts and feelings,
But you claim you let them.
You admit they caused damage but also suggest you allowed them to do so.
Go on, touch the fire.
Go ahead and take risks or face consequences,
I won't say a word, and
I won't judge or stop you,
Leave it alone,
Don't try to fix or change it,
Why go through so much
Why put all that effort into,
Trouble for this,
Trying so hard to benefit from this situation,
Trouble for that.
Or another situation,
Someone should say
Someone should speak
Something out loud.
Honest and direct, instead of keeping quiet and pretending.
Hold yourself,
Comfort yourself,
Like a bunch of dying flowers.
Like flowers that are fading and wilted,
Don't you cry for that
Don't be upset over that
Time, all that time we wasted.
Time we spent in vain or uselessly
Burn it down,
Destroy it,
If it gets you through the hour.
If it helps you cope for the moment,
Show me just what I
Tell me what I
Did, what I did to lose it.
Did wrong or failed to do to mess this up,
Hold yourself,
Comfort yourself,
Like a bunch of dying flowers.
Like flowers that are fading and wilted,
Don't you cry for that
Don't be upset over that
Time, all that time we wasted.
Time we spent in vain or uselessly

Dear person whoever reads this,
Hey, you, yes, I am talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day, because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) You’re such a beautiful human being and worth and enough. I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy, I know society build up the standard that whenever you’re alone you’re not living a happy live. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer. I hope you let yourself rest, don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret, and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy. If you ever feel lonely then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too, maybe feeling the same way..I am glad you exist and I hope you won’t ever remove your own spot in this world, maybe you don’t feel like you belong here but, Angel, then build your home here. I don’t want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, I don’t want you to see yourself just existing. You deserve it. Whatever happened, it’s not your fault, the demons in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours, so why let them win over you? . You’re not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you’re reading this than please never forget to breath and smile.
Don’t live up to other standards! It’s your story and not theirs.
Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one.
I love you and send you hugs.
You’re so strong, you’re still here, and I am proud of you.
YOU ARE NOT USELESS. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE WORTH IT. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE LOVED. READ THAT AGAIN.
I AM GLAD YOU EXIST. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM. YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE NOT BEING DRAMATIC.
You’re not a burden to anyone, don’t be afraid to talk, to use your voice.
You’re beautiful inside out.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. READ THAT AGAIN.
I WISH I COULD HUGH YOU RIGHT NOW, SO A VIRTUAL HUG WILL DO.
It hurts me to see you’re in pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. Don’t let them get the best of you.
I love u I love u I love u I love u I love u please don’t go.
I am sorry that no one is hearing you, I am sorry no one is noticing that you have lost yourself. I wish I could take your pain away, it hurts me to see the pain in your eyes. I love you trough my words and I mean it. I just want you to stay, hold on a little longer okay? Please? For me.??
I hope you have an awesome day/ morning/ evening/ night.
If it’s night for you, go to sleep, I know it’s hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, don’t let them fight you.
If it’s day for you, don’t start it by such sad music, I know it’s impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits.
If it’s evening for you, you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know it’s okay to feel the way you feel. You don’t need to be scared, of course you’re overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn’t? But it’s important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed.
And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that you’re stronger than you think, I know you will make it :)
All I want for you is to stay and feel alive.
Now wipe those tears away and smile for me, you really don’t know much a smile can brighten someone’s day, do you? I hope one day yours will become a genuine one where you don’t need to fake it anymore, because I can’t say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You’re worth more than every fucking cent in this world.
I need you here with me :).
Remember crying is not weakness, let it out as much as you can but don’t let the emotion control you by giving up. It’s okay, you’re here, you’re safe, you can let it out.
Did anyone asked you, how you are feeling today? If not, how are you really? I don’t think you’re doing good, but you will feel good at one point. Don’t give yourself up.
I am sorry you feel misunderstood.
But anyone who gets to be with you, doesn’t know how fucking lucky he/ she/ they is :).
Enough with beating up yourself for today, okay?!
- The stranger that cares about you more than anything.
I hope this is enough for you to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. I hope you can stay.
This is your sign to stay and treat yourself with love, you deserve it.
And in case no one told you today, I am so proud of you.
I hope you will remember my words- becho :)
Until tomorrow, my friend :)

Anyone else go on these late night spirals because you have all these emotions running through your head that only music is able to mend
Crystal Davey
Yes. When that person you treated you like shit but you loved them with everything inside of you and they move on like nothing ever happened. It sucks. The emotions overcome you and this song sums up the pain you feel.

Yessss, literally I used to do I so often in 2021 when I was losing my BFF. He was closer to me than my own family. It was like were in a relationship but platonic. I wouldn't of minded one, but the friendship was all that was necessary. It was the type of friendship where all you hope for is the other person's happiness. He slowly stopped talking to me until there was no more. I would have many nights listening to music like this. It felt like no one understood me, but the music did.
Paige Shoup
