Break
Break Free: Unveiling the Heart's Struggle in American Minor's Melody
Lyrics
Woman, won't you do a little dance for me?
Expressing a desire for a dance from a woman.
I've been working 9 to 5 just left my old lady
The speaker has recently ended a relationship and is working a regular job.
And when the evening comes I know where I wanna be
Expressing a preference for being with someone specific in the evening.
But in the daylight hours you can't be seen with me
Highlighting a limitation of being seen together during the daytime.
You break when you're taking
Suggesting vulnerability or emotional distress during moments of taking or receiving.
And you take like there's nothing worth believing in
Describing a pattern of taking without belief in anything valuable.
You just break, you breaking even
Stating that the person is consistently breaking or experiencing hardship.
You just take your heart's coal black, you don't look back, no
Describing a heart that is dark or cold, with an emphasis on not looking back.
Woman, won't you say a little prayer for me?
Requesting a prayer from a woman.
Come on shake your hips for a while, give your love to me
Encouraging physical expression of love through dancing and hip-shaking.
'Cause when the evening comes I know where I wanna be
Reiterating a desire to be with someone specific in the evening.
But in the daylight hours, you can't be seen with me
Repeating the restriction of being seen together during daylight hours.
You break when you're taking
Repeating the theme of vulnerability or distress during moments of taking.
And you take like there's nothing worth believing in
Emphasizing a consistent pattern of taking without belief in anything meaningful.
You break, you breaking even
Reiterating the idea that the person is consistently breaking or facing difficulties.
You just take your heart's coal black, you don't look back, no
Repeating the description of a heart that is dark or cold, with an insistence on not looking back.
Stay with me
A plea for someone to stay with the speaker.
Through the night, 'til the morning light
Requesting companionship through the night until the morning light.
Stay with me
Repeating the request for someone to stay with the speaker.
When the light of my days has past me away
Expressing a desire for companionship when the speaker's days are ending.
Come on, you break when you're taking
Repeating the theme of vulnerability or distress during moments of taking.
And you take like there's nothing worth believing in
Reiterating a pattern of taking without belief in anything valuable.
You break, you breaking even
Repeating the idea that the person is consistently breaking or experiencing hardship.
You just take your heart's coal black, you don't look back
Repeating the description of a heart that is dark or cold, with an emphasis on not looking back.
