Breakdown Lyrics

Cover art for Breakdown lyrics by Mae

This is one of my favorite songs off of the album, the only fault with it is the tempo, it feels too rushed, or maybe the verses could've been filled with more words; but the song couldn't be more complete. The artwork that goes with this song is so cool, because the only to people in focus are the lovers. From the way it seems the pilot character guy's falling in love is something that happens on his journey, this song might be about the beginnings of love and perhaps, like singhertosleep said, the pilot guy is waiting for this perfect relationship to breakdown, but it can never happen. Or, as you could infer from the verse about their goodbye, he's just waiting for her to breakdown and come down, back to him so that he can use this song for her wounds to mend. Or, and this might be the best interpretation, the following song is all about the mistakes that a couple has made, and this song ends with the words, "Here comes the breakdown," speaking of what is about to test their relationship.
