Break
Iridium Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to live until I die
There's nothing that could make me cry

Until I met you - I can't sleep at night
Since I found you, the rope is oh so tight

It's oh so tight...

Let's take a break and then we'll sit right down for a moment
Let's take a breath and then we'll lay it all on the line

Can we tell what lies inside
When every feeling runs and hides

So why go find you? You'll just slip and slide
It won't make it easier on my mind

You're on my mind...

Let's take a break and then we'll sit right down for a moment
Let's take a breath and then we'll lay it all on the line

I want to live until I die
There's nothing that could make me cry

Until I met you - I can't sleep at night
Since I found you, the rope is oh so tight

I lost control
I can't let go

Let's take a break and then we'll sit right down for a moment
Let's take a breath and then we'll lay it all on the line

Overall Meaning

The first verse seems to be a reflection of the singer's relatively carefree mindset before meeting someone who has caused them emotional distress. The lines "I want to live until I die/There's nothing that could make me cry" suggest a sense of optimism and a lack of emotional weightiness. However, this changes with the introduction of this new person into the singer's life. The lines "Until I met you - I can't sleep at night/Since I found you, the rope is oh so tight" convey a sense of anxiety, and the rope being tight implies a feeling of being trapped or confined.

The second verse is more introspective, with the lines "Can we tell what lies inside/When every feeling runs and hides" questioning the possibility of truly knowing oneself when emotions are constantly in flux. The singer then seems to grapple with whether or not seeking out the person who has caused them distress is truly worth it, stating "So why go find you? You'll just slip and slide/It won't make it easier on my mind".

The chorus repeats the initial lines about wanting to live until death, but the addition of "since I found you, the rope is oh so tight" emphasizes the impact this new person has had on the singer's mental state. The final line "I lost control/I can't let go" further drives home the struggle that the singer is facing in trying to navigate their emotions.
