Breaking Down Lyrics

I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid
I think I'm breaking down

Hate, every single second, minute, hour every day
Person in the mirror, they won't let me feel a thing
Keep me focused on my problems, I'm addicted to the pain
(Everybody's out to get you)

I guess I never noticed, how it came creepin in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless
They give me medicine
They give me medicine
They give me medicine

I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking
Maybe it's in my blood
Got a pain that I can't avoid
I think I'm breaking
Down (I think I'm breaking)
Down (I think I'm breaking)
I think I think too much
I'm a little bit paranoid
I think I'm breaking down

Lies, every time they ask me, I just tell em that I'm fine
Try to hide my demons but they only multiply
Keep me runnin from the voices on repeat inside my mind
(Everybody fucking hates you)

I guess I never noticed, how it came creepin in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless
But no one's listenin
But no one's listenin
But no one's listenin

I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I think I'm breaking down

I don't really like myself
I don't really like myself
I think I'm breaking down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about someone who is swarmed with depression & addiction so much so that had taken over their life and will likely one day end it.

It’s obviously about anxiety, depression, and those voices in your head telling you you’re worthless. It creeps in on so many of us so easily and quickly that we don’t notice until we’re on the verge of a breakdown. We hide our true emotions, put on a happy face, and no one knows what’s going on in our heads every second of every day. We get told to medicate, we need fixed. Really we just need to look at ourselves and confront those voices. Be happy with yourself!
