MDM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stand alone inside this terrible dream
I tumble down and try to turn off the lies
Before you left I wasn't ready to die
The pain
Collapsing
It pulls me to my knees
Consuming
It claims the air I breathe
You told me you'd never walk away
But now you leave me here with nothing to say
I break it down and try to keep it inside
Before you left I wasn't willing to die
The lyrics of MDM's song "Collapse" centers around the subject of heartbreak and the devastation that comes with it. The opening lines, "You don't know just what you've done to me, I stand alone inside this terrible dream" convey a feeling of isolation and hopelessness. The singer is stuck in a terrible dream, one that they did not expect nor were ready for. The following lines, "I tumble down and try to turn off the lies, Before you left I wasn't ready to die" convey a sense of betrayal. The singer believed in something that was false - this person they loved let them down, and as a result, they feel like their life has come crashing down.
The chorus is all about the pain that accompanies heartbreak. The words, "The pain, collapsing, It pulls me to my knees, The pain, consuming, It claims the air I breathe" convey a sense of helplessness. The pain is so bad the singer can barely breathe, they feel it in every inch of their body, and it's difficult to stand up. The final verse, "You told me you'd never walk away, But now you leave me here with nothing to say, I break it down and try to keep it inside, Before you left I wasn't willing to die" shows how the singer has been left without words. This person who promised they'd never leave is gone, leaving the singer feeling empty and alone. They feel like they're breaking down, but have no choice but to keep it all inside. However, before the breakup happened, they weren't willing to die. This implies that without this person, life has lost its meaning, and the singer feels like they have nothing left to live for.
