Breakdown Lyrics

Back where the dogs bark where still life bleeds the concrete white
Try not to go too far inside your mind.
Back where the cars decide where the lame star limps an endless mile
Have I gone too far inside my mind?
Oh if you were the one would I even notice now my mind has gone?
Oh if you were the one would I even notice?

Back where the car was parked where the canine in the A line stole your time
You can only go so far for womankind,

Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?

Does your love only come, does your love only come,
Does he only come in a Volvo?

Breakdown

Lead singer Brett Anderson wrote this about the descent of a close friend into major depression. His friend ultimately took his on life, which Anderson addressed in later songs such as "He's Gone" and "Simon."

This is often misinterpreted as a song about the dissolution of Anderson's relationship with Elastica frontwoman Justine Frischmann.
