Break Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I’ve tried, but nothing is working
I won’t stop, I won’t say I’ve had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight, I break away

[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Verse 2]
At night I feel like a vampire
It’s not right but I just can’t give it up
I’ll try to get myself higher
Let’s go, we’re going to light it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, we start the fire
Tonight, we break away
[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Bridge]
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take (Take) yourself (Yourself) to higher places

[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Outro]
Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

In an interview with the Canadian newspaper Peterborough Examiner, bassist Brad Walst said:

‘Break’ is about breaking away from bad influences.

In a since deleted interview with TheDeadbolt.com, lead guitarist Barry Stock explained the meaning behind “Break”:

It’s really just about if you don’t like the situation you’re in or what’s going on around you, it’s entirely up to you to break out of it. That’s it. It’s pretty much just breaking out and letting loose. You don’t have to be stuck in whatever it is you’re dealing with. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s your choice to make a change.
