Nice breakdown of the song, totally agree with you. There's a nice 'ah fuck it!' streak that runs through the Break It part too as a response to the 'endless nights', 'scars on scars', etc., of Only When I Feel. It'd be good to try and weave back into that once the energy of Break It has been spent though, try and tie it all up...? Just an idea - thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
