Break
NOXATRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I give it all and I'm left with none
Show me I belong or I'm giving up
How much more can I take?
Another bend and I'll break
No matter what I've done
I never felt like I was enough
Tell me that I'm wrong or I'm giving up
Another bend and I'll break
When I was young
I was blind to see
This world's corrupt
It took everything from me
Cut myself at night till I bleed, till I bleed
My mind is filled with demons that I feed
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Why do I feel so numb?
I give it all and I'm left with none
Show me I belong or I'm giving up
How much more can I take?
Another bend and I'll break
No matter what I've done
I never felt like I was enough
Tell me that I'm wrong or I'm giving up
How much more can I take?
Another bend and I'll break
Since you've been gone
I've been incomplete
I've come undone
I'm not who I used to be
Cut myself at night till I bleed, till I bleed
My mind is filled with demons that I feed
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Why do I feel so numb?
I give it all and I'm left with none
Show me I belong or I'm giving up
How much more can I take?
Another bend and I'll break
No matter what I've done
I never felt like I was enough
Tell me that I'm wrong or I'm giving up
How much more can I take?
Another bend and I'll break
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Build me up
Just to tear me down
Tear me to the ground
Tear me down, down
Tear me down, down low
How low can I go?
How low, how low can I go?
Tear me down, down
Tear me down, down low
How low can I go?
How low, how low can I go?
The lyrics of NOXATRA's song BREAK explore the feeling of being on the edge and the realization that things have been breaking apart over time. The opening verse talks about feeling numb and giving everything, but still left with nothing. The artist wants to belong somewhere and asks for validation, otherwise they feel like giving up. They question how much more they can take emotionally and psychologically, and feel like they're going to break every time they bend. The second verse goes back to the past, where the artist was blind to see the corrupt world, and it took everything away from them. They even indulged in self-harm and feeding their dark inner demons. The artist feels like they were built up only to be torn down, implying that they've experienced heartbreak and betrayal in the past, which may have contributed to their mental instability.
The chorus is a recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing the artist's feeling of inadequacy, and their longing for validation. They're desperate for someone to tell them that they're wrong, so they don't feel like giving up. The bridge conveys the message that since someone has gone, the artist has felt incomplete, and that they've come undone, losing their sense of self. The self-harm and feeding of inner demons still persist, reiterating the idea that the artist's mental health has been severely affected. The outro, consisting of the repeating of "Tear me down" and "How low can I go?" talks about the fear of a complete breakdown, where the artist feels like they're being pushed down until they can't sink any lower.

Why do I feel so numb?
I'm emotionally drained and can no longer feel anything
I give it all and I'm left with none
I put forth all my effort and receive nothing in return
Show me I belong or I'm giving up
I need to feel accepted and valued or I will lose hope
How much more can I take?
I am at my breaking point and cannot handle any more pain or disappointment
Another bend and I'll break
One more obstacle or challenge will be too much for me to handle
No matter what I've done
Despite my efforts and accomplishments
I never felt like I was enough
I am constantly comparing myself to others and feel inadequate
Tell me that I'm wrong or I'm giving up
If I am criticized or judged, I will lose my motivation and quit
When I was young
In my early years of life
I was blind to see
I didn't understand the harsh realities of the world
This world's corrupt
The world is dishonest and immoral
It took everything from me
The world has caused me to lose everything I had
Cut myself at night till I bleed, till I bleed
I harm myself as a coping mechanism
My mind is filled with demons that I feed
My negative thoughts and emotions consume me
Build me up
Raise me to a higher level
Just to tear me down
Then bring me crashing back down
Since you've been gone
After you left me
I've been incomplete
I feel like something is missing without you
I've come undone
I have fallen apart
I'm not who I used to be
I have changed for the worse
Tear me to the ground
Destroy me completely
Tear me down, down
Take me apart
Tear me down, down low
Bring me down to the lowest level
How low can I go?
How much worse can things get for me?
How low, how low can I go?
I feel like I have hit rock bottom and don't know how to recover
