Breaking Me (feat. A7S)

The song 'Breaking Me' by Topic featuring A7S delves into the emotional turmoil of being in a one-sided relationship. The lyrics express a sense of resignation and the pain of loving someone who doesn't return the affection in the same measure. The protagonist has been through this cycle of falling for someone and getting their heart broken multiple times, yet they find themselves unable to break free from this pattern. The repetition of 'I've been here a thousand times' underscores the habitual nature of this heartache.

The chorus, with its catchy 'La-la-la-la' hook, contrasts the upbeat melody with the somber realization that the singer is being broken by this unrequited love. The use of 'breaking me' suggests a gradual wearing down of the spirit, rather than a sudden snap. This is further emphasized by the lines 'I'm just right here dancing around to the rhythm / The rhythm that you play when you're breaking my heart,' which metaphorically describes the singer's helplessness and the control the other person has over their emotions.

Despite the pain, there's a glimmer of hope and desire for connection, as seen in the lines 'So tell me if you wanna / 'Cause I got this feeling / I wanna hear you say it / 'Cause I can't believe it.' The singer is yearning for a sign that their feelings might be reciprocated, clinging to the dream that their love interest might feel the same way. The song captures the bittersweet experience of holding onto a love that may never be fully realized, and the difficulty of letting go even when it's causing pain.
