Breaking Point
Ravenscode Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How would you feel
If you realized everything we had
Was never real?

There's a point in time
When you see the signs
And you know it's time to leave
But my heart is racing
This toll its taking
It's so hard to breathe
After all this time
And what we've been through
I just got one thing to ask you

What would you do?
(If you found out)
Everything you've known
Was never true
And what would you say?
(If you never)
Thought that things could ever be this way
Every single time
There's a blurring line
And you're asking me to stay
With this spell I'm under
It's no wonder
I just can't escape
From the life we made
And what we've been through
I've just got one thing to ask you

What would you do?
(If you found out)
Everything you've known
Was never true
And what would you say?
(If you never)
Thought that things could ever be this way

Who Knew
(There's a point in time
When you see the signs
And you know it's time to leave
But my heart is racing
This toll its taking
It's so hard to breathe
After all this time
And what we've been through
I just got one thing to ask you)

What would you do?
(If you found out)
Everything you've known
Was never true
And what would you say?
(If you never)
Thought that things could ever be this way

How would you feel?




If you realized everything we had
Was never real.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ravenscode's "Breaking Point" are a heart-wrenching expression of the emotions felt when someone realizes that everything they had believed to be true was nothing more than an illusion. The song deals with the devastating feeling of being deceived, betrayed and left with a sinking feeling about everything that we've held true till now. The lyrics beautifully portray the way in which one might experience the blurring of realities, slowly losing control as the foundation crumbles.
