Long Breakdown Lyrics
Everywhere, everywhere, there is something to believe in
Everyone, and his brother, has a message for me somewhere
I believe, I believe in the cry of the little children
There's a thorn in my side, that makes me want to free them
There's a cry, there's a cry, there's a cry off in the distance
Of a long, long, long breakdown . . .
There's a light in the tower, there to guide us through
The long night
Through the long night when we're dreaming
Under blankets of deception
In the darkness, undercover we may bump into each other
In the darkness, undercover, looking for a new direction
We may wander, we may wander in geometric patterns
In a long, long, long, long, breakdown . . .
Underwater, underwater, I will meet you underwater
I will find you, I will find you, in the deep and quiet water
In the ocean, in the ocean, we will bask in all its glory
In the peaceful quiet water, I will tell you all a story
Of a long, long, long, long, breakdown
Of a long, long, long, long, long, long breakdown
Of a long, long, long, long breakdown
It's a long, long, long, long, long, long breakdown
Everyone, and his brother, has a message for me somewhere
I believe, I believe in the cry of the little children
There's a thorn in my side, that makes me want to free them
There's a cry, there's a cry, there's a cry off in the distance
Of a long, long, long breakdown . . .
The long night
Through the long night when we're dreaming
Under blankets of deception
In the darkness, undercover we may bump into each other
In the darkness, undercover, looking for a new direction
We may wander, we may wander in geometric patterns
In a long, long, long, long, breakdown . . .
I will find you, I will find you, in the deep and quiet water
In the ocean, in the ocean, we will bask in all its glory
In the peaceful quiet water, I will tell you all a story
Of a long, long, long, long, breakdown

this song really deserves some comments..
It's essentially a metaphor for not reaching one's goals or purposes in life. We seem to stop ourselves short from going to the place we can be, and it invariably leads to a long breakdown.
I believe this song is about having a bad mental state (That part's pretty obvious) and only getting worse over time.
