Break My Heart Slowly Lyrics
"It’s scary to watch someone you love go into the centre of himself and confront his fears...
Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane
You have to fail a little, die a little, go insane a little to come out the other side."
Break my heart slowly
Dora Maar said to me
She came to me in a dream
Reaching out full up with fear
She said:
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
It was cold, the night was black
You could feel her freezing hands
Exiting a life of chance
Painted dead a million times
She said:
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
She said:
"If your life has changed
If it makes no sense
You can carry on if you still belong
If your life has changed
If it makes no sense
You can carry on
If you still belong
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Break my heart slowly
Break my heart slowly
So come one now etc
Break my heart slowly
Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane
You have to fail a little, die a little, go insane a little to come out the other side."
Dora Maar said to me
She came to me in a dream
Reaching out full up with fear
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
You could feel her freezing hands
Exiting a life of chance
Painted dead a million times
"Hold on, hold on, hold on to your gun"
"If your life has changed
If it makes no sense
You can carry on if you still belong
If your life has changed
If it makes no sense
You can carry on
If you still belong
Break my heart slowly
So come one now etc
Break my heart slowly

I think this is a brilliant song and an excellent choice of single. I think the quote at the beginning says it all. I believe it's Dora Maar talking about Pablo Picasso
In Nicky's own words on 6Music refering to the sample at the beginning (you can download the interview from www.nickywire.co.uk) "It's Francis Ford Capola's wife, on the documentary of making Apocalypse Now"
I've got to agree with Kurtz - a fuller quote is "“Francis is making a film which is a metaphor for a journey into self He has made that journey and is still making it. It’s scary to watch someone you love go into the centre of himself and confront his fears: fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane. You have to fail a little; die a little; go insane a little.”
I feel realy sad every time I listen to nickies albums.
I think that they just make me think of my secret crush.
I wish i knew how to tell him.
