Breaking Out
Spooky Tuesday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only love you so you took your life
and laid it down but now
I'm always hiding from you
I'm so ashamed for you to see me now
I lost the feeling and I'm falling down feels like
I'm drowning I lost the feeling in my darkest hour
but you died to pull me out I'm breaking out of
hide my sins away the things
I do are usually wrong you said it's harder
than the real thing to pretend
I'm someone else in the end there's mercy falling
The lyrics of Spooky Tuesday's song "Breaking Out" seem to describe the internal struggle of a person who feels guilty and ashamed for not being able to love their partner back, who ultimately decided to take their own life. The singer is grappling with the emotions and regrets that come with such a tragic loss. They feel like they are drowning in their own emptiness and despair, but also acknowledge that their partner's death helped them break out of this state of mind. The chorus suggests that the singer is now letting go of the shadows and shame and is ready to face their feelings and sins. They find comfort in the mercy that is falling upon them.
The song's message seems to be about the importance of acknowledging our feelings and being honest with ourselves and others. It highlights the dangers of hiding or suppressing our emotions and pretending to be someone else, as this can lead to destructive behaviors and relationships. The loss of the singer's partner is a wake-up call that forces them to confront their own issues and seek help.

I avoid you all the time
