Break Me Down
Lost in Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From your cage I set you free
Make me wake, make me sleep
Your warm smile all I can see
Make me creep, make me crawl
But one taste and all is gone
Make me stand, make me fall
[Chorus:]
Break me down
From within
Break me down
Being without
Can I win, will I loose
In your poison I will drown
What the hell, what's the use
I can't make it on my own
The lyrics of "Break Me Down" by Lost in Tears express the feeling of being under someone's control and dependent on them for happiness. The first verse describes the conflicting emotions that the singer experiences when they're with this person. They want to be close to them and feel their warmth (make me smile, make me sleep, your warm smile all I can see), but they also feel vulnerable and small in comparison (make me creep, make me crawl). The second verse implies that the person has a toxic influence on the singer's life, but they can't resist them (one taste and all is gone, in your command I am till dawn). The chorus is a plea to this person to break them down completely, both physically and emotionally, because being without them is worse than any kind of pain or self-destruction. The final verse is a realization that the singer is entirely dependent on this person and incapable of breaking free (in your poison I will drown, I can't make it on my own).
Overall, "Break Me Down" is a poignant and honest portrayal of how intense relationships can be, both in terms of the joy they bring and the harm they can inflict. It's a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of control or powerless in a romantic situation.

All it takes is one small taste of you and I'm completely undone

I want you to break me down from the inside and shatter me completely
Break me down
Being without
Without you, I feel like I'm already broken
Can I win, will I lose
I'm not sure if I can come out of this situation as a winner or if I'll ultimately lose
In your poison I will drown
Your influence is toxic and it will ultimately cause my downfall
What the hell, what's the use
I'm questioning the point of trying to make it on my own when I'm so deeply entwined with you
I can't make it on my own
I need you and can't imagine life without you
