Breakers
Unveiling Inner Turmoil: Local Natives' Breakers Meaning
Lyrics
Waiting for
Anticipating patiently
My words to catch like I'm trying
Expecting my words to resonate, resembling the effort of igniting a wet match
To strike a match that's soaking wet
Recognizing the difficulty in sparking something when the conditions are unfavorable
See through skull
Transparent thoughts or emotions
See through skin
Vulnerability, exposing inner feelings
Leave all the lights on
Keeping all lights on, creating a façade
Can't see out, but they see in
Unable to see outside, but others can see inside
Stare down my nose, watching
Observing with arrogance, looking down
The color drain from my eyes
Witnessing the fading vibrancy from my eyes
Cold cereal and TV
Mundane routine of consuming cold cereal and watching TV
Before I go to sleep
Before going to sleep
Breathing out, hoping to breathe in
Exhaling, with the hope of inhaling positivity
I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced
Acknowledging that nothing seems amiss, yet harboring doubt
No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself
Confirming self-awareness and internal dialogue
Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else
Considering the possibility of believing the truth from an external source
No, I know, I know, I've already told, myself
Reiterating self-awareness and internal conflict
Maybe I'll believe it from somebody else
Contemplating trusting the truth from someone else
Breathing out, hoping to breathe in
Repeating the cycle of exhaling and hoping for positive inhalation
I know nothing's wrong, but I'm not convinced
Acknowledging the absence of observable issues, yet maintaining skepticism
I can let it happen, just let it happen
Accepting the possibility of events unfolding naturally
Just don't think so much, don't think so much
Advising against overthinking
