Breaking News Lyrics
Leave, save yourself
I'm not about to close my eyes
And find my way through this
Watch, now, the return
Please don't stay
It's all come back, it all came back
Did it ever really leave?
I lost my peace when I gave up
Just move, pick up your feet
Oh!
Pulling the base away
I think there's something stuck
In your eye
Now we're all falling down
Everything is opposite
It's just not what it seems
It looks like we found the wrong keystone
Was there no progress made?
No, there's no progress made!
Sacrifice, Sacrifice
You can't be lost if you're already gone
Okay, I'm gonna give the song meaning from my perspective: This band is definitely Christian-based as you can tell from the lyrics.
"Run, just run Leave, save yourself I'm not about to close my eyes And find my way through this Watch, now, the return"
This is saying, "Hey look, I'm not the best thing for you. I can't even find my OWN way through this." And then he implies the return of God will be the only way to make things better.
"Go, just go Please don't stay It's all come back, it all came back Did it ever really leave? I lost my peace when I gave up"
Same thing as the first part. This time, he's wondering if the feeling of being so alone ever actually went away when he was with the girl. And while he was with the girl, he gave up on all faith in God.
"This is bigger than all of us Just move, pick up your feet Oh!"
Self explanatory. There's something a lot bigger than us, and everything will work out if you just keep your faith.
"This self-sufficient sacrifice Pulling the base away I think there's something stuck In your eye Now we're all falling down Everything is opposite"
He's made sacrifices only to benefit himself, and in the end, it only led him further away. He then goes on to say, "don't accuse me of anything, because you do the same, if not worse." [That's based on a bible verse, if you don't understand.] Then, he says we're all gonna face the same thing, what we thought was good is actually bad.
"It's just not what it seems It's just not what it seems It looks like we found the wrong keystone Was there no progress made? No, there's no progress made!"
Again, everything is different. He thought he found the key to making things better, but it wasn't the right thing at all. And now he's gotten nowhere.
"Put your stock in abandonment You can't be lost if you're already gone"
He's saying if you put your faith in things here on earth, you'll be left feeling empty and abandoned.
Now, granted I'm in this band, so I've got some insight, haha.
