“Start To Break” is the 11th track on Atreyu’s long-awaited sixth album, Long Live.
This song talks about the never-ending struggle to better yourself, which can only happen by testing your limits, sometimes so much that you “Start to Break”.
[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
Hunted by mindless beasts
Haunted by my desire
To create and destroy
To defy with a smile
Everyday is stick and move
Either way they’re after you
Mediocre, their soulless lives
They offer nothing
They have no pride
They’re always after me
Pleading eyes, vacant arms
They’re always draining me
Needy souls, empty hearts
[Pre-Chorus 1: Alex Varkatzas]
Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (I can still see)
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
Away, far from here
From all the cowards and fear
Far away, from here
From all the cowards and fear
To push beyond one's self
To live in the unknown
To push beyond one's self
To live in the unknown
[Pre-Chorus 2: Alex Varkatzas]
Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (I can still see)
Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (You can’t blind me)
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
[Breakdown: Alex Varkatzas]
Go!
[Bridge]
If you've never been tested
Then you'll never see
What lives inside of you
Is worth more than anything
If you've never been tested
Then you'll never see
What lives inside of you
Is worth more than anything
[Verse 3: Alex Varkatzas]
And at that moment
When I doubt myself
I pick my feet up
And I hit the ground
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming
I know that I can be better than I am today
The pressure builds and I'm starting to break
I'm so tired but I won't stop moving
Fearful my humanity is running away
[Outro: Alex Varkatzas]
Away
Running away
