There's a room where the light won't find you. Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do I'll be right behind you. So glad we've almost made it, so sad they had to fade it. Everybody wants to rule the world.

Psychological analysis of Tears for Fears’s song: “Break It Down Again”:
The third song of the album and maybe the most “happy” one. Even though that the true meaning behind the lyrics are quite particularly interesting to analyse. Basically Roland is feeling so weird but at the same he feels that everything must end. That every single form of life has to die. He knows deep inside his heart that the friendship with Curt is gone, it was already dead. And again, Roland is speaking to himself. He’s telling him that he need to break those tears away, to break them again. Roland says to people that they need to appreciate for things that are being decaying. That life must end with death. That they need to get over it. That Curt’s friendship was something nice but eventually, soon or later, it was happening to become so empty. It was dying. Roland keeps saying so many times to himself that everything can change, depending how you look at it. That he wants to break those chains that are being hold in his life, in his heart. In the video Roland is all alone, but many times he’s dancing, having fun. He’s also with his bandmates, but then again, he’s no with them, at least no psychically. Roland has never been fond of looking at the camera, but in this particular case, he looks at you, clapping, dancing, walking around, in the dessert. And even if he's with his bandmates playing and stuff, he's (again) playing for himself. The dessert we see is a reference to his heart. Maybe he’s feeling so weird but the only thing he truly wants is that everything needs to happen. Bad or good. That nothing is eternal. Not even the love of a friend.
