Less Than Jake, "She's Gonna Break Soon" from Anthem (The Last Angry Man)
Skammentary: As these things go, the music video for "She's Gonna Break Soon," starring the actress Alexis Bledel (best known for playing Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) as the eponymous girl, is reasonably famous. The lyrics of "She's Gonna Break Soon" are simply devastating.
"She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
With so many problems in her life,
It really comes as no surprise,
That she's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
She's gonna break.
"Welcome to her busy, dizzy life
Of going out and getting high,
And following all the latest trends
While shedding all her oldest friends,
It's been weeks worth of weekends
With fake I.D.s and fake passions of her best friends.
"She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon, etc.
"She's been thinkin', wishin' she could hide
From the girls with the comments passing by,
It's the boys in bars on Friday night
That replace the emptiness inside,
She'll be spending her whole weekend
Faking laughs and faking smiles with her fake friends.
"She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon, etc.
"Promises you made back home
Are crumpled like the goodbye notes,
And last night's dirty clothes
Are on the floor next to the phone,
And it's been disconnected months ago,
No calls from your friends back home.
You lost your point of view,
Now it's got the best of,
Got the best of,
Got the best of you!
"She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
With so many problems in her life,
It just comes as no surprise,
She's gonna break soon,
Gonna break soon,
She's gonna break…
"With so many problems in her life,
It just comes as no surprise,
She's gonna break."
