Breakdown Lyrics

I think most people have hit the meaning.

It seems to be about just letting loose and giving into the feelings that you have. In this context, it's about a romantic encounter.

It is pretty simple but very relatable. I think we've all been in a situation where you know the vibes are there but you know the other person has put up a wall of some sort because they're almost afraid to open up to it. It's always so strange, and you just know that if the wall ever got broken down, it would be complete passion.
