Everything Breaks
Embracing Fragility: The Profound Message in 'Everything Breaks'
Lyrics
Now and then, I watch the water roll over
Observing the constant movement of water
Now and then, It sings
Perceiving the water making sounds
If theres an angel, looking down on me
Contemplating the potential existence of an angel watching over
She must be careless, or maybe a trainee
Suggesting the angel's potential negligence or lack of experience
While I'm laying here, won't you help me please
Pleading for assistance while in a vulnerable state
You know that everything breaks,
Acknowledging the fragility of everything
You know that everything breaks
Reiterating the concept of everything being breakable
Now and then, I keep going back over
Reflecting on revisiting past experiences intermittently
Never agains, and I find that
Emphasizing the determination to avoid repeating certain actions
It's so simple, one of natures rules
Stating a fundamental law of nature - everything eventually breaks or wears down
You know that everything breaks,
Reaffirming the idea of the inevitability of things breaking
You know that everything breaks
Reiterating the notion that everything has a tendency to break
And I wish that I had misspoken
Expressing a desire to retract or correct a statement made
You know that everything breaks
Reaffirming the understanding that everything has the potential to break
You know that everything breaks
Reiterating the concept of everything being breakable
When I find myself screaming it over
Feeling overwhelmed and shouting about the reality that everything breaks
Finding that everything breaks,
Discovering or realizing the universality of things breaking
Finding that everything breaks
Reiterating the realization that everything tends to break
And I wish that I had misspoken
Expressing a wish to retract a statement but acknowledging the truth that everything breaks
But I know everything breaks
Acknowledging the certainty that everything eventually breaks
Yeah I know everything breaks
Reiterating the acknowledgment that everything is prone to breaking
