About This Track

'Breaking' by ANOHNI is a 2024 track from the album 'Breaking - Single'. The lyrics revolve around dreams of quiet nature, then an escalating sense of loss, as a doe and willow slip into disappearance and whole landscapes are swept away. A cycle of taking follows, only for collapse to arrive, including the garden and love. The chorus lands on the blunt admission, “It’s really something to be / Breaking”, turning personal ruin into a stark, ongoing condition.

"Breaking" is a track by ANOHNI, from the album Breaking - Single, released 11th June 2024. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about ANOHNI.

Lyrics

Breaking

[Verse 1]

I dream a white doe in the hills

I dream a willow blowing still

I watch as it's swept away

[Verse 2]

I take and take a little more

And then I see that forest fall

And my garden was swept away

That love, it was swept away

[Chorus]

It's really something to be

Breaking

[Bridge]

This time, my friends, it's different

This time, it never happened before

[Chorus]

It's really something to be

Breaking

It's really something to be

Breaking

It's really something to be

Breaking

[Outro]

I dream a white doe in the hills

I feel a willow blowing still

I watch as it's swept away
