Breaking Down

Verse 1:

See these tears melting off of my eyes of ice

The wind is blowing but the trees, they stand so nice

Heart's beating but I can hardly breathe

Can't go on with what she said to me

(but) why do I believe it, why do I think twice?

 

Bridge:

It's just inevitable

This world makes no sense at all

It's no wonder that I'm ready to drown

 

Chorus:

I'm breaking down

The music's to my ears, but I don't hear a sound

I'm freaking out

Mind's wandering like a hurricane

Looks so different, but it all feels the same

I'm holdin' on, but I'm not comin' 'round...

I'm breaking down

 

Verse2:

And they tell me that life comes with sacrifice

I strike a wonder, move in closer - and a flame ignites

And it's burning throuuuuugh me

Nothing can soooothe me

I'm past the point of no return, its getting hard to see the light

 

Bridge 2:

It's just inevitable

(line not written yet)

It's no wonder that my world's spinning 'round

 

Chorus:

I'm breaking down

The music's to my ears, but I don't hear a sound

I'm freaking out

Mind's wandering like a hurricane

Looks so different, but it all feels the same

I'm holdin' on, but I'm not comin' 'round...

I'm breaking down

 

Verse 3:

And this water's getting so cold

I'm an (airplane) out of control

I'm a (time bomb) ready to explode

When the gas leaks - nobody knows

Until its tooo lateeeee

 

Bridge 1: Repeat

Chorus : Repeat

 

 

Reviews

[Scarlet Opal]

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece but know that I'm practically inept when it comes to critiquing songs; I always thought the full meaning behind lyrics cannot be fully felt and/or experienced until it is accompanied by its musical counterpart. But out of the rhythm I heard in my head, I came up with two tiny suggestions in the chorus.

Little suggestions in ( ) :

"I'm breaking down
The music's (in) my ears, but I don't hear a sound
I'm freaking out
Mind's wandering like a hurricane
Looks so different, but (feels all) the same
I'm holdin' on, but I'm not comin' 'round...
I'm breaking down"

Other than that, I loved the sounds (or words) you chose for this song. I can hear a pop-like acoustic guitar behind a female voice. Awesome.
