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 Ravenscodeโ€™s โ€œBreaking Pointโ€ deal with the feeling of betrayal and the confusion that comes with it. The song's narrator discovers that everything they believed was built on lies, and they're struggling with the realization that they've been deceived for what could be a long time. The song's lyrics convey the feeling of immense heartbreak, disillusionment, and the overwhelming sense of being lost that comes with finding out that what you thought was real never existed.


The track's bridge is one of the catchiest found in modern rock music, and it captures the fear and desperation of the singer as they struggle to come to terms with what they've found. It's evident the singer is unsure of how to move forward from this point, and the confusion and turmoil they are experiencing are illustrated with the song's fiery chorus. The song ends with a poignant and open-ended question that dangles in the air, begging for an answer: "How would you feel if you realized everything you had was never real?"
