Break
►Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight I break away,
Break!
Away from everybody
Break!
Away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take, yourself to higher places

Oh, oh,

At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right
I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go
We're gonna light it up
Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away

Break!
Away from everybody
Break!
Away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take, yourself to higher places

If you can't stand,
The way this place is
Take, yourself, to higher places

Break!
Away from everybody
Break!
Away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take, yourself to higher places
Oh, oh,

Higher places,
Oh, oh,
To higher places,
Oh, oh,




Higher places,
Take yourself to higher places

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Three Days Grace's song "Break" is a cry for freedom and liberation from the troubles and challenges that life poses. The song begins with the singer feeling overwhelmed and spinning with confusion, seeking something to light him up. He admits to trying various vices to help him cope but to no avail, and he refuses to give up on his quest to find a way out.


The chorus is a rallying cry for empowerment, urging the listener to break away from everything holding them down. The lyrics encourage the listener to seek higher ground, to find a place where they can thrive and be free. The song's theme revolves around the idea of taking action, seizing the moment, and not letting oneself be weighed down by the challenges that life throws their way.


The verse that talks about feeling like a vampire depicts the negative energy that some circumstances can bring into our lives. The experience can be addictive, and one may find it hard to get out of. However, the singer adamantly proclaims that he will overcome and rise above it all, and start afresh with a new fire.

PAUSA

Stasera, la mia testa sta girando
Ho bisogno di qualcosa che mi sollevi
Ci ho provato, ma nulla sta funzionando
Non mi fermerò
Non dirò di averne abbastanza
Stanotte, accenderò il fuoco
Stanotte, mi allontano

Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori

(ohhh, ohhh)

Alla notte mi sento come un vampiro
Non è giusto
Non posso arrendermi
Proverò a migliorarmi
Andiamo
Lo accenderemo
Stasera accendiamo il fuoco
Stanotte ci allontaniamo

Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori

Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori

Mi allontano da tutti
Mi allontano da tutto
Se non riesci a sopportare il modo
in cui è questo posto
porta te stesso in posti migliori

(ooh… in posti migliori)
(ooh… verso posti migliori
(ooh… in posti migliori
Porta te stesso in posti migliori

Esta noche mi cabeza da vueltas
Tonight, my head is spinning

Necesito algo que me recoja
I need something to pick me up

Lo he intentado, pero nada funciona
I've tried, but nothing is working

No pararé, no diré que ya tuve suficiente
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough
Esta noche, enciendo el fuego
Tonight, I start the fire

Esta noche, me escapo
Tonight, I break away
Romper con todo el mundo
Break away from everybody

Romper con todo
Break away from everything

Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is

Llévate a lugares más altos
Take yourself to higher places
Por la noche me siento como un vampiro
At night I feel like a vampire

No está bien, pero no puedo dejarlo.
It's not right but I just can't give it up

Intentaré subirme más alto
I'll try to get myself higher

Vamos, vamos a encenderlo
Let's go, we're gonna light it up
Esta noche comenzamos el fuego
Tonight, we start the fire

Esta noche, nos separamos
Tonight, we break away
Romper con todo el mundo
Break away from everybody

Romper con todo
Break away from everything

Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is

Llévate a lugares más altos
Take yourself to higher places
Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is

Llévate (llévate) a ti mismo (a ti mismo) a lugares más altos
Take (take) yourself (yourself) to higher places
Romper con todo el mundo
Break away from everybody

Romper con todo
Break away from everything

Si no puedes soportar la forma en que este lugar es
If you can't stand the way this place is

Llévate a lugares más altos
Take yourself to higher places
Lugares más altos
Higher places

A lugares mas altos
To higher places

Lugares más altos
