From FLOOD magazine, frontman Dave Bayley explained, “If you’ve ever said something that you know is going to break that person, then you say it, and it’s almost like an out-of-body experience, and it feels like it’s not you saying it…but then it comes out,” says Bayley. “It’s about the three seconds between you saying it, and then there’s that silence—but it’s also the loudest thing that’s ever happened in your life.”
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse]
I break, by God, your face
Awakened, two eyes, ballooning
Open sesame
[Pre-Chorus]
Super silence in the quiet, eye inside the storm
Water from your broken iris fell toward the floor
Everything waiting, shakin' as it drops
I tried for you and I, for too hard, for too long
Gave it all and everything for more time, but I lost
[Chorus]
Ooh, we're breakin' down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud
[Break]
Ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm breakin' down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud
[Bridge]
Two hearts foldin'
Pulling everything
[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm breakin' down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud
[Outro]
Ooh, I'm breakin' down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don't make a sound
It's all so incredibly loud
It's all so incredibly loud
