Breakdown
Emotional Unraveling: Decoding 'Breakdown' by Instruction
Lyrics
Steal me, take me I am more than this
Expressing vulnerability, inviting someone to take notice and go beyond surface perceptions.
'Cause I'm feeling terrified it's obvious
Feeling intense fear, and it's evident or undeniable.
So I look into your eyes, and all you see is
Attempting to connect by looking into the other person's eyes.
Breakdown coming on to me
Anticipating and acknowledging an emotional breakdown and questioning how the other person wants the speaker to behave.
Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
-Breakdown coming on to me
-Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
-See me, lost in your eyes, its obvious
Describing the speaker being captivated by the other person.
As I see you, scarred in your self confidence
Observing the other person's emotional scars and lack of self-assurance.
So I look into your eyes
Continuing to look into the other person's eyes, recognizing their own emotional distance and inability to perceive weakness.
You know I'm too far gone to recognize the weakness
-Breakdown coming on to me
Repeating the anticipation of a breakdown and questioning how the other person wants the speaker to be.
Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
-Breakdown coming on to me
-Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
-Bring it on again
Encouraging a challenge or confrontation, expressing uncertainty about the other person's expectations.
I don't know what you're asking of me
-Bring it on again
-Bring it on again
-Breakdown coming on to me
Reiterating the theme of an impending breakdown and questioning the desired behavior from the speaker.
Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
-Breakdown coming on to me
-Breakdown coming on to me
-As I wonder just how you want me
-As I wonder just how you want me to be
Repeating the uncertainty about how the other person wants the speaker to be.
Bring it on again
Encouraging another challenge or confrontation.
