Take a Fall
Hybrid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It takes a while but I know in time you'll come 'round again
The symptom of the cycle that you're on
There's a heart and there's a hope for the light again
I don't know just where you're going wrong

It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me no lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all

Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all

Break it up!
Break it up!
Break it up!
Break it up!

Just inclined to break it all

Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)
Break it up!
(Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all)
(It's my faith thrown against the wall)

It takes a while but I know in time you'll come 'round again
The symptom of the cycle that you're on
You can get so high but then you get down again
Never even wanting to belong

It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all

Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all

It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all

Throw it all against the wall, watch where the pieces fall
Never wanted to lose it all
You're just inclined to break it all

Break it up!
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
Break it up!
You've just been crying to break it all
Break it up!
Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
Break it up!
You're just inclined to break it all

It might seem fine to take a fall, if you're inclined to break it all




Tell me the lies, you've said 'em all
You're just inclined to break it all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hybrid's song "Take a Fall" are quite introspective and attempt to understand the behavior of someone who repeatedly undermines their own progress. It starts with a hopeful note that the person causing the cycle will eventually come "round again," indicating that this is not the first time they have fallen into this pattern of behavior. Despite the sincerity in trying to understand and help the person see the light again, the singer admits that they "don't know just where you're going wrong."


The chorus highlights the person's tendency to self-sabotage, suggesting that it might seem tempting or even "fine" to take a fall and let everything crumble. The repeated urge to "break it all" suggests a lack of control and a need to start over completely while also echoing the sentiment of not knowing where things went wrong. The metaphor of throwing everything against the wall and watching where the pieces fall paints a picture of someone who has given up on trying to keep things together and just wants to see what happens next.


Overall, the song reflects a sense of frustration and helplessness when dealing with someone in a self-destructive spiral. The singer acknowledges that the person's behavior may feel beyond their control and that they may not have all the answers. However, they still hold onto a glimmer of hope that eventually, things will turn around.

It's a damn shame Hybrid isn't as popular as they deserve.

theBatBurger

Just discovered these guys, awesome!

Wolf In The Woods

I'm glad more people don't know about them.... I'm a DJ and I play their records all the time... Less people playing them means they pop more for me.

MrSpeedfox

I disagree. It's totally criminal how unknown they are.

Miss Deluxe

Superb track from a suberb album - there's a finesse here that eludes even Underworld or Orbital. At least one of these guys has classical training, that's for sure!

Erik Campos

Unique, very special album
