Breakdown
Globo vs. Meat Beat Manifesto Lyrics

Break break down, steady breakin' me on down, break break down, steady breakin' me on down
The singer feels like they are constantly being broken down and they can't escape.

You called yesterday to basically say that you care for me, but that you're just not in love
The singer's ex recently called to tell them that they care, but they are not in love with them anymore.

Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly and led you to believe it was o.k to just walk away from the one thing that's unyielding and sacred to me
The singer lied to their ex and pretended that they also don't love them, even though the relationship was important to them.

Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it and I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you, but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind underneath a disguise of a smile, gradually I'm dying inside
The artist is trying to act like they are fine and happy without their ex, but in reality, they are struggling and suffering inside.

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering, so I wear my disguise till I go home at night and turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
The artist is pretending to their friends that they are fine, but when they are alone, they break down and cry because of the pain they are feeling.

So what do you do when somebody you're so devoted to suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue of the pain that rejection is putting you through
The singer is questioning what to do when someone they love stops loving them and doesn't realize how much it hurts them.

Do you cling to your pride and sing 'I will survive'? Do you lash out and say 'How dare you leave this way?' Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?
The singer is questioning how to react when someone they love leaves them, wondering if they should maintain their pride, get angry, or hold on to something that is slipping away.

It'll break you down only if you let it, everyday crazy situations rocking my mind tryin' to break me down but I won't let it forget it
The artist believes that situations will only break you if you allow them to, and they are trying not to let the stress and struggles of everyday life bring them down.

Don't ever wanna feel no pain, hoping for the sun but it looks like rain, lord, I just wanna maintain
The artist doesn't want to feel pain and is hoping for good things to come, even though it seems like there's no relief in sight. They just want to maintain and stay strong.

Yeah, I can feel pressures y'all, but nevertheless Krayzie won't fall, it's over, it's ending here
The artist acknowledges the pressures and challenges they face, but they won't let themselves fall. They believe it's time to end what's causing them pain and move on.
