Breakable
Systematic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You place your hate on me and never feel your wrong
The words for war you will soon regret
The time has come for me to show you what sets us apart
I'm the one, I'm the man, that cannot be bent

Can't you see you're falling
And I'm the one still standing
Then you'll know you're fucked
'Cause I know you're so breakable

You seem to think I'm the dirt on which you walk
And when this ground gives way, no you won't forget
This time will be the last time I deal with it
I'm the one, I'm the man, with your death intent

Can't you see you're falling
And I'm the one still standing
Then you'll know you're fucked
'Cause I know you're so breakable

You can't take it back now
The words you have thrown around




What comes around, goes around
And I won't change my ways to fit inside your world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Systematic's song "Breakable" are about standing up for oneself in the face of someone who is trying to bring them down. The first verse describes how the person being sung about is being unfairly treated by someone who places their hate on them and never admits to being wrong. This person uses words as weapons, but they are going to regret it soon enough. The second verse describes how the person knows that they are being perceived as weak or worthless by the other, but asserts that they are the one who will come out on top. They will not forget how they are being treated, and will not allow it to continue. The chorus drives home the message that the person singing is unbreakable, while the other is falling apart. The bridge reinforces the idea that the other person cannot take back what they have done, and that their words and actions will come back to haunt them.

Lars Ulrich singed these guys and was very high on them,but did nothing for them as a band and pushing them. i guess it says a lot about Lars Ulrich and how full of b.s. he rely is.
