The song opens with a gentle and ethereal intro, setting the stage for the emotional rollercoaster that lies ahead. The first verse paints a vivid picture of someone breaking down, their face becoming distorted in pain and their eyes swelling up like balloons. The rawness of these lyrics immediately grabs your attention and sets the tone for what is to come.

[Verse]
I break it, by God, your face
Awakened, two eyes, ballooning
Open sesame

But it is in the pre-chorus that the true meaning and emotional depth of the song shine through. Glass Animals describe a moment of complete silence in the midst of a storm, where everything seems to hang in the balance. The water from a broken iris falls to the floor, symbolizing the tears and emotional turmoil that the person is experiencing. It is a vulnerable and heartbreaking moment.

[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

As the chorus hits, Glass Animals portray the magnitude of the heartbreak, emphasizing the ironic contrast between the deafening silence and the overwhelming loudness of the emotions felt. Whispers become deafening, and the absence of sound becomes a powerful statement. Heartbreak has never been so loud, and the pain is palpable.

[Chorus]
Ooh, we’re breakin’ down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don’t make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud

The bridge of the song brings a moment of reflection, with Glass Animals describing two hearts folding and pulling everything together. It is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of emotions and the impact that one person can have on another.

[Bridge]
Two hearts foldin’
Pulling everything

The chorus returns, magnifying the intensity of the emotions described earlier. Whispers continue to deafen, silence prevails, and heartbreak remains painfully loud.

[Chorus]
Ooh, I’m breakin’ down
Whispers would deafen me now
You don’t make a sound
Heartbreak was never so loud

Finally, the song comes to a close with a powerful outro. Glass Animals reiterate the presence of silence, emphasizing that in the face of heartbreak, silence can be overwhelmingly loud. It is a profound message that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the pain of a shattered heart.

[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

According to frontman Dave Bayley in an interview with FLOOD magazine, the song is about those moments when we say something that we know will break someone, and the silence that follows becomes the loudest thing in our lives. It captures the vulnerability and intensity of those three seconds between speaking and the repercussion of our words.
