about

When Mechanical Vein and Biomechanimal wrote 'Waves' in 2020, they had intended to write a track that fully represented their work and vision. In the last 3 years, both of us have grown and evolved, so we sat down again, with the plan to create something heavier, harder, and much more drum & bass driven. 'Breakdown' is the result. Featuring filthy bass, heavy guitars, sweet breaks, scathing sociopolitical commentary, and a vocal feature from Lecture, both of us are extremely pleased with what we've created.

lyrics

Normalized chaos to keep us insane
The earth's bones will crack underneath the strain
They wanna take it all, get the word around
It’s time to rise up, it’s the motherfucking breakdown

Breakdown
It’s time to rise up, it’s the motherfucking breakdown

The 1 percent live it up at your expense
Now we’re living in a world that don’t make sense
They wanna take it all, get the word around
It’s time to rise up, it’s the motherfucking breakdown
Dead men float while the rest of us drown
'Til they're burned by the acid rain in the clouds
Normalized chaos to keep us insane
Bones will crack underneath the strain

They’ll start a war, before giving a drop back to the poor
And it burns in my head, obliterate the filth 'til the streets run red
How many times have we gotta go around this point
Let’s blow this joint!

Lecture
From the USA to the UK with the same vision
To kill the masters and rebuild is our main mission
These cowards rule from their thrones, ripping the weak from their homes
Picking their teeth with the bones of the drones who resist them
Listen kids – you could be the next one goin' missin'
The decision to rescind the rich and wicked is significant
No shame – Proclaim
The legend of our revolution written in the flames

Times up – Face your fate now
Cries of - The fallen fade out
Find us – Beyond the gate now,
Tearing down the walls around their pathetic little playhouse
Times up – Face your fate now
Cries of - The fallen fade out
Find us – Beyond the gate now
It’s time to rise up, it’s the motherfucking breakdown

The 1 percent live it up at your expense
Now we’re living in a world that don’t make sense
They wanna take it all, get the word around
It’s time to rise up, it’s the motherfucking breakdown
Dead men float while the rest of us drown
'Til they're burned by the acid rain in the clouds
Normalized chaos to keep us insane
Bones will crack underneath the strain

Let's blow this joint!
