Breakdown

This song is one I really like by Ragweed. They have some seriously raucous songs, but this one is deep and helps me feel less alone when I feel like I'm hitting my breaking point.

Breakdown

Performed by Cross Canadian Ragweed

I'd build a ladder to the moon

There I'd carve your name

If it would brighten up this room

But you know that anyway

I can't be the rock

Not today

Sometimes I wanna pop

Sometimes I wanna say

I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time

You're all lookin' to me

To keep it in line I hope I can keep it in line

 

Sometimes I slow it down

To hear what I haven't heard

And when the darkness rolls around

I scream out the words

 

His picture's on my wall

He looks about my age

I wonder if he ever broke at all

I wonder if he ever had to say

 

I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time

They're all lookin' to me

To keep it in line

And I'm gonna keep it in line

 

It's gonna work itself out

It always does

At the last drop of doubt

Just like it never was

 

Repeat 2nd chorus

 

Just like every single time

 

I believe that Cody Canada is referring to Jesus when he talks about looking at the picture. The first time I heard this song, it made me really think about how often Jesus, with his followers that TOTALLY didn't understand Him and all those people who wanted to kill Him, wanted to just walk/run away. I am so thankful He kept to his original purpose!
