Break Me Down
Breaking Chains of Love: Steve Angello's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Never again she said, we should've known
Expressing regret about a past decision, acknowledging a missed opportunity
We should've known, should've known
Reiterating the sense of missed awareness or understanding
Though I could've told you that a week ago
Reflecting on the ability to predict a situation a week earlier
A week ago, week ago
Emphasizing the timeframe of a missed realization
But you used your body, baby
Describing the use of physical allure, possibly in a manipulative manner
And I'm feeling foolish lately
Feeling foolish due to recent actions or decisions
So let's not pretend like you're not coming home
Rejecting pretense, acknowledging the inevitable return home
You're coming home and you say
Confirming the return home and initiating a dialogue
"Run for me, run for me, run
Invoking a plea to run for the speaker
Come for me, come for me, come
Urging the listener to come for the speaker
Down to the river, down to the river to pray"
Mentioning a symbolic journey to the river for prayer
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
Contemplating the nature of truth as potentially obscured or unperceived
It's a losing fight
Acknowledging a difficult or unwinnable struggle
Oh, so if it's love you want then take it, take it
Suggesting a willingness to embrace love and make it endure
Make it last all night
Encouraging the longevity of love throughout the night
You're taking me up, up, up so high
Experiencing an uplifting sensation, possibly due to love
So if it's love you want then break it, break it
Expressing a readiness to confront and overcome challenges in love
Baby, that's just fine
Accepting the challenges of love as acceptable or fine
You break me down
Repetition emphasizing the emotional impact of being broken down
You break me down
-You break me down
-You break me down
-You break me down
-Hmm, now all of my kingdoms crumble in your eyes
Describing the collapse of personal domains in the eyes of the other
In your eyes, in your eyes
Highlighting the impact of the collapse on the observer
Watching my body sing, no compromise
Observing the speaker's body and indicating a lack of compromise
A compromise when you say
Recalling a previous plea or statement
"Run for me, run for me, run
Repeating the plea for the listener to run for the speaker
Come for me, come for me, come
Repeating the urge for the listener to come for the speaker
Down to the river, down to the river to pray"
Reiterating the symbolic journey to the river for prayer
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
Revisiting the concept of truth as potentially elusive
It's a losing fight
Acknowledging the challenging nature of confronting naked truth
Oh, so if it's love you want then take it, take it
Reaffirming the desire for love and suggesting its acceptance
Make it last all night
Encouraging the endurance of love throughout the night
You're taking me up, up, up so high
Experiencing an uplifting sensation, possibly due to love
So if it's love you want then break it, break it
Expressing a readiness to confront and overcome challenges in love
Baby, that's just fine
Accepting the challenges of love as acceptable or fine
You break me down
Repetition emphasizing the emotional impact of being broken down
You break me down
-You break me down
-You break me down
-You break me down
-You break me down
Final repetition underscoring the emotional impact of being broken down
You break me down
-You break me down
