About This Track

'Breakup' by Ashton Irwin is an Alternative track from the album 'BLOOD ON THE DRUMS', released in 2024. The lyrics cast a bitter, address-from-the-speaker plea, with a woman asking to be taken to the end and an insistence that the other person is there for pleasure rather than honest commitment. There is talk of drinks by the ocean, a record that keeps skipping, and a claim that the listener has another lover while the speaker is being compared unfavourably. The emotional temperature is wounded and accusatory, with a sense of things going wrong in real time.

"Breakup" is a track by Ashton Irwin, from the album BLOOD ON THE DRUMS, released 16th July 2024. The track is 3:10 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Ashton Irwin.

Lyrics

Breakup

Lady, lady, lady, take me to the end
You came here for pleasure not for play pretend
I could be your lover, I could be your friend
Be your favorite love now
Now we're drinkin' by the ocean
The record keeps skippin'
You say you got a lover
But you say I'm not like him
Well in my imagination
The heaven I'm buildin'
You two came together
But you don't leave here with him
Break up right now
You should be with me now
Break up right now
You should be with me now
Let the power of seduction be your friend
Sink your teeth into a night that never ends
Can't forget, we're driving closer to the edge
With every breath
Now the stars are getting closer
The rubber is wearing thin
I thought it would be clever
To let the devil in
Now your hands are on my body
The chain that I'm wearin'
Is taking care of business
Hanging in between our lips
Break up (break up) right now (right now)
You should be with me now
Break up (break up) right now (right now)
You should be with me now
You should be with me now
You should be with me now
You should be with me now
You should be with me now
