Break
aphrodite´s child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a lie
You forget and break it.
You make it
You make it
You make it
You make it.
Cry in my empty room,
To forget and break it.
Fly
High
And then
You make it.

The lyrics of Aphrodite's Child's song "Break" are a reflection on the end of a friendship or relationship, with the singer bidding their friend goodbye. However, in the second line, the singer accuses their friend of lying and breaking their trust. The repetition of "you make it" throughout the song suggests that the friend has caused the singer pain and is responsible for the end of their relationship. The singer is left alone in their empty room, crying and trying to forget the pain caused by their friend. However, the friend seems to have moved on and is able to fly high and make it without the singer.
Overall, "Break" is a melancholic reflection on the struggles of maintaining relationships and the pain of losing a friend or lover. The lyrics suggest a sense of betrayal and hurt caused by the actions of the friend, and the repetitive nature of the song emphasizes the ongoing pain and difficulty of moving on.

1977, I'm 16 years old and first day working in a record shop.
The manager told me to forget the drivel on the radio and top of the pops and get ready for a musical education.
Then he played this.
He was right, brilliant track by an underappreciated band.
Thanks Dave, wherever you are

I had a friend, Jess Tradewell. We both loved Vangelis' music, but the Aphrodite's Child album, 666, was special to us. Jess used the album to teach me about blues. Jess LOVED the blues guitar work in this album. And this song in particular, I think touched Jess. I remember the first night I brought this to his house, he was trying to pick out the chords to this song on his piano. Then he'd try to get me to learn some of the guitar solos in some songs so we could play together, but I wasn't any good at picking up this blues stuff because I was too entrenched in metal (as a guitar player), even though I loved this music. Jess is gone now, but I will always remember his kind compassionate soul and friendship. I would give about anything to hear him play Moonlight Sonata for me one more time. His rendition was my favorite out of all the others I've heard in my lifetime. And now, whenever I get this album out, I can't even listen to this song because of the wave of sadness it brings... "Goodbye... bye my friend, goodbye..."
