Breaking Me Lyrics – ​Seven Lions

Seven Lions is diving headfirst into the shadows with Asleep In The Garden Of Infernal Stars, his bold new album landing December 12 on Ophelia Records, and Breaking Me hits like that first quiet fracture in the quiet before the storm—raw, relentless, and ready to pull you under.

This second track clocks in at just over four minutes of pure Seven Lions magic: think soaring orchestral swells crashing into gritty bass drops, all wrapped in that signature melodic dubstep glow. It’s got this haunting, mid-tempo pulse that builds from whispery synths to euphoric peaks, blending trance-like introspection with the kind of emotional heft that leaves you breathless. No guest spots here—it’s all him, channeling vulnerability into lyrics that wrestle with inner chaos, like shedding old skins in a world that’s too loud to hear your own voice. The creative spark feels personal, a nod to those moments when doubt creeps in but you push through anyway, turning pain into something almost beautiful.

Slotting right after the title track opener, Breaking Me sets the tone for an 11-song journey that’s less about festival fire and more about quiet rebellion. The album’s whole vibe is Seven Lions flipping the script on EDM’s endless churn—he’s called it a way to tune out the noise and circle back to why he started making music in the first place. Tracks like “Delusional” with No/Me bring glitchy edge, “By the Light of the Moon” teams him with Kerli for ethereal folk-electronica, and “Cold as Snow” links up with HALIENE for icy heartbreak. Then there’s “So Far Away” featuring Lilly Ahlberg, “From Beyond,” and more, all weaving a tapestry of displacement and self-made space. It’s got that cosmic, infernal garden imagery running through, like wandering lost realms to find your footing.

Right now, Seven Lions is in this fascinating pivot, years after defining melodic bass with bangers like “Strangers” and his Creation EP series. He’s traded some of the high-energy collabs for deeper, narrative-driven sounds, pulling from his classical training and love for epic storytelling. This release feels like a stake in the ground—proof he’s carving his lane, no apologies, especially as the scene keeps speeding up around him.
