Voodoo Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While we walk, wasting another day
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I walk through, i try to find
Yes everything, everything that i left behind
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I stand alone
Watching the world fall down
Go on to
Helps me lift my feet up off the ground
Im wasting
Wasting another day
And i screamed
Help me out my way
Seemingly i act afraid
While we walk, wasting another day
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Set me free
Cannot think of a better way
Let me be
Cannot think of a better way
Breaking, breaking me
I stand alone
Watching the world fall down
Go on to
Helps me lift my feet up off the ground
Im wasting
Wasting another day
And i screamed
Help me out my way
The lyrics of Voodoo Blue's song "Breaking Me" appear to be about a person who feels trapped and weighed down by their current situation. The repetition of "Cannot think of a better way" indicates a certain feeling of helplessness and the desire for change. The lines "Seemingly i act afraid/While we walk, wasting another day" suggest that the person may be stuck in a routine that they are afraid to break out of. However, they know that they need to change their situation and that there must be a better way to live their life.
The chorus "Breaking, breaking me" seems to be referencing the pressure this person feels from their circumstances. Despite wanting to break free, they feel like they are being pulled apart or destroyed by their current situation. The last verse, "I stand alone/Watching the world fall down/Go on to/Helps me lift my feet up off the ground" is a more positive moment in the song, indicating that even though the person may feel alone and helpless, they are still able to find some hope and a reason to keep moving forward.

Seemingly i act afraid
I appear to be fearful
While we walk, wasting another day
As we stroll, losing time
Cannot think of a better way
I can't come up with a superior alternative
Let me be
Allow me to be
Set me free
Release me
Breaking, breaking me
Causing me to fall apart
I walk through, i try to find
I explore, attempting to discover
Yes everything, everything that i left behind
All the things i abandoned
I stand alone
I am by myself
Watching the world fall down
Observing the world collapse
Go on to
Continue to
Helps me lift my feet up off the ground
Assists me in lifting my feet off the floor
Im wasting
I'm squandering
Wasting another day
Wasting yet another day
And i screamed
And I shouted
Help me out my way
Assist me my way
