Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you feel like becoming a target
Gotta embrace the bullseye and
Let em all know that they're looking in a mind of a monster
Looking for anybody who wanna regard this
I don't want any money I wanna leave em heartless
I just wanna tell them if I had it my way
You'd never have a motherfucking heart to start with
Let's go! Can anybody show me the way to my soul
Keeping it wicked in every way I know
But I get lost, like a missed toss, and the ball goes out the window
Not a motherfucking role model
"We don't die" it'll be the only motto
'Bout to break down everyone of you hoes
I make sure the world knows who's weak and hollow
I'm a beast to follow, let it all looking for a beat to swallow
It'll be 52 weeks tomorrow, since I started
My killin' the weak shit embargo
Hid em all in precious cargo, ego killer, wanna sleep like all go
Maybe I'll save the world tomorrow
But right now your time is borrowed
Breakdown!
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Someone save me now!
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
Breakdown!
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Someone save me now!
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
I-I can hear em callin' I can hear em callin' fallin' down
I'm just so confused now, feelin' used and let down. Fallin'
Feel it real in your heart, like it's ride or die shit
It's a cold ass world, better pack an ice pick
And bring it down to the depths of this
Over shadow respecting this
Expecting this to be conceited and heavenless
But never live, never settle again, any better when
Life's weighing my patience, making me feel heaven
And if I have any real feelings, that's relevant
Blessed to never forget like an elephant
Don't fit like shotgun shells up in the derringer
Amongst the square pegs feeling more like a cylinder
Swing to the symphony, metrodone
And the musical gravitation are pullin' ya
Close for microphones and earholes are fitted with zeros
Or forked tongues waking the dead
Makin' some new foes, a simple stain
And permanent pain on a mission to take the clear throat
Y'all know this attractin' hope
But the lack there of be the true scope but no rope
Scapegoats and sailboats soon become
Sinking ships with escape rafts of cut throats
Stay afloat cause we back again, and we destined to crack heads
We just found in the top 10, the rest can drop dead
There's no stoping when the twins are infectin'
With Twiztid connection
Breakdown!
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Someone save me now!
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
Breakdown!
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Someone save me now!
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
I-I can hear em callin' I can hear em callin' falli down
I'm just so confused now, feelin' used and let down. Fallin'
The song "Breakdown" by Twiztid features verses that are raw, dark, and unapologetic. The primary theme of the song seems to be a struggle with identity and the search for inner peace. The opening lines, "Sometimes it could be much harder, when you feel like becoming a target," speak to the feeling of being targeted by outside forces that threaten to destroy one's sense of self. However, the lyrics urge the listener to embrace this feeling, to "let 'em all know that they're looking in a mind of a monster." In other words, the song encourages listeners to own their darkness and embrace the parts of themselves that might be feared or rejected by society.
The chorus of the song speaks to the feeling of being lost and searching for a way out. The repetition of the phrase "Someone save me now" emphasizes the idea that the singer is in distress and needs help. The verses that follow address the idea of finding solace in music, and how music can be a form of escape and healing. Lines like "Swing to the symphony, metrodone, and the musical gravitation are pullin' ya close for microphones and earholes are fitted with zeros" are a testament to the power of music to take listeners away from their problems and transport them to another world.
Interestingly, the song features a reference to the Twiztid song "We Don't Die," which is a popular track among Twitizid fans. The line "We don't die, it'll be the only motto" is a nod to this song, and speaks to the idea that Twiztid's music is about transcending death and finding something beyond the mundane world.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes it could be much harder
Life can be difficult
When you feel like becoming a target
When it seems like everyone is against you
Gotta embrace the bullseye and
Accept the attention and scrutiny
Let em all know that they're looking in a mind of a monster
Make it clear that you are not to be messed with
Looking for anybody who wanna regard this
Seeking out challengers
I don't want any money I wanna leave em heartless
Not motivated by money, but by defeating opponents
I just wanna tell them if I had it my way
Expressing a desire to eliminate weakness from the world
You'd never have a motherfucking heart to start with
A declaration that heartlessness is a superior trait
Let's go! Can anybody show me the way to my soul
Asking for guidance in finding purpose
Keeping it wicked in every way I know
Living a dark and twisted lifestyle
But I get lost, like a missed toss, and the ball goes out the window
Sometimes feeling directionless and uncertain
Not a motherfucking role model
Rejecting the idea of being a positive influence on others
"We don't die" it'll be the only motto
A commitment to living life to the fullest
'Bout to break down everyone of you hoes
Promising to defeat all challengers
I make sure the world knows who's weak and hollow
Belittling those who are not strong
I'm a beast to follow, let it all looking for a beat to swallow
Asserting that others are drawn to his strength and power
It'll be 52 weeks tomorrow, since I started
Reflecting on a year of success
My killin' the weak shit embargo
Closing off the option of showing mercy to the weak
Hid em all in precious cargo, ego killer, wanna sleep like all go
Taking pleasure in defeating others and suppressing emotions
Maybe I'll save the world tomorrow
Humorously suggesting that he could make the world a better place
But right now your time is borrowed
Implying that his opponents' time on earth is limited
Feel it real in your heart, like it's ride or die shit
Believing in something so strongly that it becomes life or death
It's a cold ass world, better pack an ice pick
Warning that the world is cruel and unforgiving
Over shadow respecting this
Belittling respect and positive values
Expecting this to be conceited and heavenless
Anticipating a self-centered and unpleasant existence
But never live, never settle again, any better when
Refusing to live a mediocre life
Life's weighing my patience, making me feel heaven
Finding joy in the challenges of life
And if I have any real feelings, that's relevant
Acknowledging that emotions are important
Blessed to never forget like an elephant
Grateful for a good memory
Don't fit like shotgun shells up in the derringer
Feeling out of place and uncomfortable
Amongst the square pegs feeling more like a cylinder
Feeling different from those around him
Swing to the symphony, metrodone
Riding the waves of life's chaos
And the musical gravitation are pullin' ya
Feeling irresistibly drawn to something
Close for microphones and earholes are fitted with zeros
Refusing to listen to negativity
Or forked tongues waking the dead
Rejecting dishonesty and deception
Makin' some new foes, a simple stain
Making enemies easily
And permanent pain on a mission to take the clear throat
Intending to hurt others
Y'all know this attractin' hope
Recognizing the power of hope
But the lack there of be the true scope but no rope
The absence of hope is a serious problem
Scapegoats and sailboats soon become
Becoming a victim or a survivor
Sinking ships with escape rafts of cut throats
Surviving at any cost
Stay afloat cause we back again, and we destined to crack heads
Confidently boasting about returning to the top
We just found in the top 10, the rest can drop dead
Feeling superior to others
There's no stoping when the twins are infectin'
Determined to keep moving forward
With Twiztid connection
Together as a group, they are unstoppable
Breakdown!
Expressing a desire to seek help
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Feeling overwhelmed and out of control
Someone save me now!
Asking for assistance during a difficult time
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
Feeling lost and betrayed
Breakdown!
Reiterating the desire for help
(I can hear em callin' I can't stop from fallin')
Continuing to struggle and feel overwhelmed
Someone save me now!
Asking for aid and support
(I'm just so confused now, feeling used and let down)
Feeling helpless and hurt
I-I can hear em callin' I can hear em callin' fallin' down
Hearing voices and struggling
I'm just so confused now, feelin' used and let down. Fallin'
Feeling lost and hurt, in a state of decline

7 years later and it's still one of the greatest songs of all time
LeadMe2TheBliss
It's a good song, but calling it one of the greatest songs of all time is a far stretch.
