Breaking Through
Maiden Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just asking and hoping that this will turn out right
I think I have found home in her eyes
Her deep blue eyes that I get lost time
As my waves crashed down and as my heart spills out
And as I make my move on you, whoa...
As my words break up, it goes to show how in love I am with you
Life stages we pass how we grow so fast
Like these on the tree finally turned into leaves
I'll see this girl again someday
Why does it have to be this way?
Somethings I'll never understand, understand
The lyrics of Maiden Lane’s song “Breaking Through” are a depiction of the emotional journey one takes when taking a chance on love. This is clear in the opening line, “And I will take my chances on you tonight,” where the singer is taking a leap of faith in hopes of finding love. The subsequent line, “I’m just asking and hoping that this will turn out right,” shows that there is some uncertainty and anxiety about this decision.
The singer then goes on to describe their experience being attracted to this person, stating that they have found home in her eyes. This is a powerful metaphorical use of ‘home,’ which implies a sense of belonging and comfort. The mention of her deep blue eyes adds a level of depth to the metaphor, as the singer gets lost in them, indicating a strong connection.
The song then goes on to describe the doubts and fears that arise when one approaches love, with lines such as “As my words break up, it goes to show how in love I am with you” portraying the vulnerability that comes with loving someone deeply. Nonetheless, the chorus, “I think this time we broke through,” shows that they have managed to overcome their fears and have taken a step towards a meaningful connection.
