Break
Stone & Van Linden ft. Lyck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I left and started dancing under the street light
And you saw me and I saw that you saw me
And you were always one to wander 'round these places
With eyes for ears and ears for ideas
And I slept, tell you what it was
I liked the way we felt
Your friend, he kept on talking about
I, I couldn't care
I know how I get when I hear people lie to me

Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away

Standing in your room and I keep on feeling I might drown
You ask me for more and more and more
So I left and started dancing under the street light
And you saw me and I saw that you saw me
And I want you to be

Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away

You turned off your phone
And I hit the wall, and
You know how people find themselves
In a fever, after all
And you saw me and I traced the lines of your face around
The lines of what I had drawn

You know me by my heart
And you know me by my face
And you know me by the reasons
That the world took all of our places
And there's a thing when there's a reason
And there's a place to be here
And I was existing just to be unclear

Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away
Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away

Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away




Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
Darling, darling, you take my breath away

Overall Meaning

In the song "Break," the singer describes a moment of liberation and vulnerability. They explain how they left a certain situation or relationship and found solace in dancing under a street light. The singer acknowledges that someone else witnessed their act of self-expression, creating a moment of connection between the two. The other person is described as someone who wanders through life with curiosity, using their eyes and ears to gather ideas.


The lyrics suggest that the singer was involved with someone who was not entirely honest with them. The singer didn't care about what their friend said or the lies they may have told, implying that they were focused on their own experience and emotions. The line "I know how I get when I hear people lie to me" indicates that the singer becomes affected by dishonesty, possibly feeling hurt or betrayed.


In the chorus, the singer expresses their feelings of potential fragmentation or breaking. They feel overwhelmed by their emotions, which are likely tied to the relationship or situation they left behind. Despite this, the other person still has a powerful effect on them, taking their breath away. The mention of drowning and being asked for more suggests that the singer might feel suffocated or pressured in their interactions with this person.


The verse also touches upon the idea of communication breakdown. The other person turns off their phone, which could symbolize a disconnect between them and the singer. The line "And I hit the wall" could indicate the singer's frustration or emotional pain. The verse suggests that the other person understands the singer deeply, recognizing them by their heart, face, and reasons. However, there seems to be a loss of connection and a sense of displacement in the world.


Overall, the song explores themes of independence, vulnerability, and the ways in which relationships can impact our emotional well-being. It portrays a complex dynamic between two individuals who share a moment of connection but also struggle with their own internal battles.


Line by Line Meaning

So I left and started dancing under the street light
I decided to leave and find solace in the freedom of dancing under the street light


And you saw me and I saw that you saw me
You noticed me and I could see the recognition in your eyes


And you were always one to wander 'round these places
You were always someone who enjoyed exploring these surroundings


With eyes for ears and ears for ideas
Always observant and open-minded, perceiving ideas through your senses


And I slept, tell you what it was
I rested and let me tell you why


I liked the way we felt
I enjoyed the emotions and connection between us


Your friend, he kept on talking about
Your friend constantly spoke about


I, I couldn't care
I, I didn't really mind or pay attention


I know how I get when I hear people lie to me
I am aware of myself and how I react when people deceive me


Standing in your room and I keep on feeling I might drown
Being in your room, I constantly feel overwhelmed and suffocated


You ask me for more and more and more
You continuously demand more from me


And I want you to be
I desire your presence and companionship


You turned off your phone
You intentionally shut off your phone


And I hit the wall, and
I metaphorically encountered a barrier or obstacle


You know how people find themselves
You understand the process through which individuals discover their true selves


In a fever, after all
Amidst strong emotions and passion, ultimately


And you saw me and I traced the lines of your face around
You witnessed me closely examining the details of your face


The lines of what I had drawn
The boundaries or imprints I had established


You know me by my heart
You understand my true emotions and intentions


And you know me by my face
You are acquainted with my outward appearance


And you know me by the reasons
You comprehend my motives and justifications


That the world took all of our places
Because the world displaced both of us from our respective positions


And there's a thing when there's a reason
And there is something significant when there is a justification


And there's a place to be here
And there is a purpose for existing in this location


And I was existing just to be unclear
I simply existed without a clear sense of purpose or direction


Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
My dear, I sense that I am on the verge of falling apart


Darling, darling, you take my breath away
My dear, you leave me breathless with your presence


Darling, darling, I feel like I might break
My dear, I sense that I am on the verge of falling apart


Darling, darling, you take my breath away
My dear, you leave me breathless with your presence
