Dam That's Breaking
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Truth Within
Lyrics
It's as old as sin
Referring to a timeless and inherent human flaw or wrongdoing.
Honey, you ain't born again
Suggesting a lack of genuine spiritual rebirth despite claims.
You just changed the way you wanted to pray
Describing a change in the way of worship or belief system.
And underneath that skin
Highlighting the true nature beneath the surface appearance.
You're the person that you've always been
Emphasizing continuity of self despite external changes.
You just thought you found an easier way
Acknowledging a perceived shortcut or easier path in life.
Oh woah, I've been breathing underwater
Expressing a struggle or difficulty, feeling submerged.
Oh, I've been trying to be brave
Attempting courage in the face of challenges.
Oh woah, I've been breathing underwater
Reiteration of the struggle to cope with difficulties.
I can feel my walls are shaking
Sensing a personal crisis, walls (defenses) are collapsing.
Baby I'm a dam that's breaking
Metaphorically presenting oneself as a breaking dam, overwhelmed.
It takes awhile to see it
Stating that it takes time to recognize the truth.
Because really who wants to believe that?
Questioning the willingness to believe unpleasant realities.
Sometimes people lie to your face
Addressing deception by others, especially to one's face.
And I've been choking on the fire inside of me
Describing internal turmoil and emotional conflict.
And I remember that girl I used to be
Recalling a previous version of oneself, contrasting with the present.
And I can't go on living this way
Expressing an inability to continue living in the current state.
Woah, I've been breathing underwater
Reiteration of feeling submerged and overwhelmed.
Oh, I've been trying to be brave
Continued effort to summon courage in the face of adversity.
Oh woah, I've been breathing underwater
Repeating the struggle to cope with difficult circumstances.
I can feel my walls are shaking
Reaffirming the sense of personal crisis, walls are shaking.
Baby, I'm a dam that's breaking
Reiterating the metaphor of being a breaking dam, overwhelmed.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Repetition for emphasis or to evoke a sense of urgency.
Oh woah, I've been breathing underwater
Reaffirming the struggle of feeling submerged.
Yeah, I've been trying to be braver
Intensifying the effort to be courageous in challenging times.
Braver, braver
Emphasizing the need for increased bravery.
Oh woah, I've been breathing underwater
Repeating the ongoing struggle to cope with difficulties.
I can feel my walls are shaking
Reiterating the personal crisis, walls are shaking.
Baby, I'm a dam that's breaking
Reiterating the metaphor of being a breaking dam, overwhelmed.
Baby, I'm a dam that's breaking, yeah
Final confirmation of being a breaking dam, acknowledging vulnerability.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Repetition for emphasis or to evoke a sense of urgency.
