Breakout
A.I.P. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me dizzy
Running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out

You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout

I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that

You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout

I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout

You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out

Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watch me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out

You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout

I don't wanna look like that

Breakout!
Go, go, go

You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A.I.P.'s song "Breakout" are about being driven crazy by someone and wanting to escape from them without becoming like them. The first verse describes the feeling of being mentally overwhelmed and unable to escape from someone. The singer realizes that they need to remove themselves from the situation before they become just as crazy as the person they're dealing with.

The chorus declares that this person is causing the singer to "breakout" and that they don't want to become like them. The second verse hints that the singer has been through therapy, but it still scares them, and they fear falling back into old destructive patterns. The bridge is a call to action, urging the singer to "burn it in the blast off" and crawl away to escape from the situation.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the dangers of staying in a toxic relationship or situation for too long and the importance of recognizing when to break free to avoid being pulled down with them.

It baffles me how there are still skin care professionals that claim diet doesn’t cause acne and don’t recommend any diet restrictions for acne. When hormonal balance is caused by what our body lacks and is resolved by what we need to consume.

I cut out dairy from my diet after having painful cystic acne that came out when i was 20 and saw a difference within two weeks! I havent eaten it since. I resonated with everything you said in this video, especially about everyone saying they wish they could do it - totally worth it to me! I also started taking those Alani Nu balance pills because of you because i still had some underlying breakouts and it seems to have my acne under control!

I cut out dairy as well. I seen a HUGE difference. Everytime I have dairy when I get too lazy to check if something contains it, I break out so bad and it's almost immediately, like a couple days. Motivates me to continue eating clean and not give unto cravings etc.

@。。i stan too many groups Hi again ! Since it's been a while, just wanted to let you know that cutting off dairy is really worth it !
And also, I tried a moisturizer that doesn't break me out at all !
It's the Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream . Just make sure to buy it when it's on sale :)

@。。i stan too many groups Digestion issues can really affect acne. Get your blood tested, so at least you would know if there's any deficiency. For some people zinc deficiency causes acne.
But get tested before taking anything more that multivitamins

aqualuv99

What about 2% milk

meli f

@。。i stan too many groups staying hydrated is definitely good and essential for overall health.
But honestly, i don't think it necessarily has a direct effect on acne.
Recently i watched some videos about vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and i reeeeeeeally wanna try it but i couldn't find it anywhere i could buy from.
Check out the videos and articles about B5, for some people it literally worked like a miracle.

Ironically my doctor told me the other day that diet has no correlation to acne, yeah sure that's why my acne inflammation severity and frequency slowed down as soon as I cut out gluten, sugar and refined white carbs. I think my acne was triggered by a mild candida overgrowth I had in my gut, it flared up really bad when I had to take a Plan B pill a year ago, the mass dose of estrogen being the catalyst to candida flaring up my acne really bad, took me over a year to realise what was happening and now my skin is probably 95% clear thanks to dietary changes.

M Rey

How did you find out the plan b caused the candida overgrowth? I took plan b as well around November and my acne has been flared for the past 4 months

It’s almost like they purposely don’t want you to know the truth so that you “have to be on birth control to have clear skin” or some other bologna. I was told if my acne doesn’t clear up I’ll have to go on accutane which requires you to be on birth control! No thank you ma’am! I would like to stop messing with my hormones and be able to hopefully have children some day!

I love your video because I relate with it so much! I am literally the SAME when it comes to dairy and gluten. I have to stay extremely strict and avoid it to remain clear. I also have to watch my sugar intake. Thanks so much for posting this video and being open with your journey. It's nice to know your not the only one that is super strict about your diet and would rather pass on the pizza/cake, then get a breakout! Acne seriously has an effect on so much mentally and physically and when you find what works it's so liberating ♡ Bless you 🙏and your skin looks great!

Thank you SO much for sharing your story! I know I'm months late to the party here but seriously so grateful that you shared this. <3 Watching your video here and the one you linked to watch first, I am thinking for the first time ever in my life at 24 that I may have a hormonal imbalance or allergy. And not just me, but other members in my family too. I used to love drinking milk and years ago I stopped drinking it and did see some improvement, but I still eat cheese a lot haha I'm swapping it out for nutritional yeast asap to see if that helps it even more. (nutritional yeast is supposed to be kind of cheesy tasting)
But once again, thank you for being brave enough to share! <3

Yah this is huge! Once I moved out for college and sub dairy for vegan options my skin really cleared up, after graduating I eased dairy back in (butter and cheese) and my skin is struggling.
Gluten also makes me extremely painfully bloated so I’m starting to cut that out.
Something that also helps me is drinking raw kombucha, it helps cut my sugar and carb cravings & I deff think it’s healing the gut as it has Improved my energy & mental clarity!

I am so thankful I came across your video. I have PCOS and severe acne so like you, I'm avoiding accutane and doing research. I agree with everything you said in your video especially how one small ingredient can throw off your skin. I'm realized that I'm also intolerant to gluten and dairy through experiment. I went off gluten and dairy for a few weeks and my skin cleared up. Ate ice cream last week and my face is a mess. So now I'm eliminating dairy, eggs and gluten.

Hailey Sanders

4y↑3

Also, I think that when you go off dairy and then have just a tiny bit again that your body probably reacts in a much larger way than you'd think because it's super not used to it anymore. So it makes sense to me that even a little bit in the guac caused some acne.
~~speaking as someone who hasn't ever tried cutting out anything completely hah

Thank you for sharing. Your video hit me on the spot. My hormonal acne started to erupt when I used contraceptive pills (2019).
I experienced the hate and disgust that I don't recognised myself. Patience was the only thing that made me calm down and accepted the fact that this is the condition of my face. I started to wear thick make up just to cover the redness and didn't care if its obvious or not. I did prolong consulting to a dermatologist which was a HUGE mistake. I took a medication for 3 months with no alcohol consumption. Changed all my make up to oil free and non comedogenic, day and night moisturised, and daily sunscreen with spf 50. I had prescribed retinol for active acne which helped in killing them. But the redness still occurred. With research, on how to haste the healing I purchased The Ordinary Niacinamide (Day use) and The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% (Night time). It gave me good results, lessen the scars and redness but not quite gone. Last week (Wed), I started to use the The Ordinary AHA/BHA peeling solution. I'm amazed even my husband complimented the result just after a week of use.
I am going to try the food intolerance testing and look for a hormonal doctor.
Your video is very helpful and amazing. You've done great and a good job of not giving up.

Dermatologists just take all your money. I also suffer with acne and after researching I thought that maybe dairys and gluten was the real cause. I cut all of that and started to drink green juices every morning and my skin is sooo much better. Its difficult cause my husband loves to eat haha and me too! So its hard to not eat what he eats. We can not have a cheat day with ice cream, pizza, fries, chocolates etc :( Im so jealous cause he can eat everything he wants and he has the perfect skin and I have to be strong and not eat anything :( its hard but like you said, I prefer to wake up every single day with a clean skin.

I started getting cystic acne 5 months ago and I literally didn’t know what the problem was. However, I then realized that I was eating dairy again even small amounts. Around the month of May was the worst for me. I then started cutting eggs,dairy,nuts,and avocado trying to eat the mostly Whole Foods for a month know and I’ve seen such a huge difference. Dairy can do so much bad things to your skin and we sometimes don’t even realize until we see something severe.

i randomly got similar acne and it was when i wasnt having any soda or dairy. i dont have a gluten intolerance either and i dont eat red meat. if ur seeing this vid and are frustrated that its not working, theres a good chance cutting all these things out might not work for you. i had perfectly clear skin when i was stressed and eating poorly and then things just changed overnight. rn im on doxycycline and retin a and its starting to help after 8 weeks. i plan to use doxycycline for another month and the retin a for another 3 months to help with hyperpigmentation. however, be warned cuz your skin will get worse before it gets better. stick it out, its worth the results.

There are so many reasons to get acne. Personally I love Dercutane because it saved my life and diet had nothing to do with it. In fact I never ate processed food so I had no clue. I advise everybody to go to a dermatologist and don’t experiment alone. Embrace the science!

Similar experience and man...the whole Midwest is practically hostile to food intolerances so I never went out to eat as well until I moved out West.

@Jeni A hi so i did mine through a naturopathic doctor near where i live. I live near chicago. If you don’t, then idk what place would do it but i am sure you could google up naturopathic doctors in your area and then maybe call one and ask them if they do any food intolerance tests. Mine was a blood test and it was pretty quick and simple and then they ran the test and gave me my results within a week and then my doctor went over them with me and what they mean. it wasn’t covered by insurance so i had to spend $418. But worth it cause it did help my skin and i think my overall body. I found out i was inflamed and my doctor recommended a whole food plan for me and which supplements i should take and which ones are useless/unnecessary etc. So yeah, but if you don’t live near chicago then again just google search naturopathic doctors in your are and determine which one is the best and has a good test for food intolerances. Side note: It might be helpful to know your blood type if you don’t know it, because certain blood types react differently to certain foods, for example if you’re type O then you should avoid dairy and gluten and eat like a paleo-mediterranean diet (that’s what I do since i’m type O). And i was able to find my blood type by making an appointment online through Quest Diagnostics (which is national im pretty sure, if you’re in the US i think) and yeah without insurance its just $50. you can also find out your blood type by donating blood because they need to test for it in order to give it to people.

I wish I could figure out what is causing my acne. I speculate it’s a build up of bacteria due to Lyme disease.

I know diet plays a huge role and underlying illness but boy is it so frustrating figuring out what exactly causes it.

So some change in my diet that helped me: eating brown rice instead of white rice, lots of fruits especially papaya, no gluten, no dairy, no junk well become little bit uncountrable during snack times certain days and have one packet chips but make sure u r drinking lot of water after that. So for certain months prepare diet gluten free, dairy free, junk free, sugar free ;fruits and veggie allowed except banana and drink lots and lots of water and let's see how ur acne doesn't cure.

I don't know how to cut out dairy because it's heavily incorporated in levantine food especially breakfast and dinner. I literally don't know what else to eat. I'm also lactose sensitive so milk makes me insanely bloated. I'll have to do some research and compile a list of safe food/meals.

I eat tons of veggies, healthy food overall however I still have acne 🤔 literally a 4 months ago i had a perfect skin. Everything has changed drastically when I started wearing a mask every day due to my job.

You can buy protective “maskne” covers at like CVS that put a barrier between your skin and the mask and it helps a lot :)

Great reminder- your body is trying to tell you something when you have a reaction to food.

Doctors and dermatologists will never admit to you it's dairy because they don't want you to get better or else you won't come back to their office. They want that consultation fee.

Also the reason dairy affects acne is because dairy isn't natural dairy anymore, read up on rBGH artificial hormones linked to cows and passed onto you.

Gluten free for five years; dairy free for two. I still have awful acne 😔 accutane will always be my best friend

Emma

@Alba Dedej Oh I see...it's been years though

Alba Dedej

You need to stick to a dairy and gluten free diet for more than 5 days, 5 days won’t do anything tey 1 month or more

Why is everyone afraid of accutane? I struggled for years with my acne, I was afraid of accutane. I was living a very traumatized life. And the only thing that saved me was accutane. It’s been 2 years and my skin is still clear. My only regret is not going on it sooner!

Nada Pw

@raven123xox its dosage depends on your weight if you get smaller dosage you will finish it over a longer period of time rather than if you took higher dosage at the end either methods work fine. At the beginning you start small the dermatologist will monitor your blood tests monthly to make sure nothing bad is happening and they’ll decide the best way to move forward. Do tell them about your issues and concerns.

For me personally I’ve always had anxiety so for me anxiety is normal I don’t know anything else so I never really consider it a mental health issue just the way I am. While I was taking it it was at a time when I was already depressed and lost and I also started digging in and discovering myself and focusing on my healing so for me it didn’t make my anxiety nor my depression worse but I was able to work through it and accept the way I am. So the accutane wasn’t part of the process it was just a growth journey. But I used to get a lot of road rage when I was on accutane. But I am easily angered by dumb people on the road so again nothing new.

It’s honestly a journey and you have to focus on yourself and your healing. Having a clear face will bring you happiness. It takes time before the results kick in so don’t hop in with giving up attitude and be patient. But it does work and it is great. If your accutane journey doesn’t work out you could try the topical version Tretinoin but I would go with accutane first. I wish you good luck and if you need advice or something when you’re on it don’t hesitate to ask we all are here for each other 💗

Do you know what dosage you were on? My reasons for avoiding accutane for years is because I was afraid of how it might affect my mental health. I was on Spiro for a couple weeks and I started experiencing panic attacks and intense anxiety which was something I never experienced before. It led to me developing depersonalization disorder and paranoia which I still struggle with sometimes but not as severely. I avoided medication for so long but nothing is working for my acne so I’m soon starting accutane but at a very low dosage. I hope it works well for me but I’m scared of what could happen to me after being scarred from doing Spiro

@Nada Pw absolutely!

Nada Pw

@turquoise turtle yes and they freak out and spread fear and neglect the fact that when prescribed it’s monitored thoroughly and it’s at a low dosage.

I just wish I could help those who go through the same things I did. I would encourage them not to be afraid and take it sooner than later so they don’t have to live through the pain of having acne for so long and then don’t get that much scaring once their acne is cleared.

Try getting beans, and legumes - they tend to be on the cheaper side. Also oats and brown rice, among other grains.
One of my fav meals is a baked sweet potato stuffed with beans & lightly sautéed vegetables, topped with hummus. It's incredibly cheap, yet delicious and nutritious.

Vegan/dairy-free alternatives might also be expensive, but you can make your own. If you have a blender, you can make oat milk. If you have cashews, try soaking them overnight to make a cheese, and make it stretchy by cooking it with a starch (like tapioca starch).

Hope this helps!

@GoodNewsForUkraine 💯.
I'm grateful to be Asian Indian...our cuisine has many vegetarian options. We would eat vegetarian and fast often esp before prayer.

Not knowing how to cook sucks actually. If you buy beans, rice, and some veggies, that would be less than $10 for a few dinners. One pack of rice is less than $2. It’s a myth that you have to spend a fortune on food. I’d rather eat healthier and have less health problems and problems with obesity than have to treat diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer and and other issues related to obesity.

I feel you. With some hacks though you can lower your cost. Cooking from scratch instead of buying prepackaged, buying seasonal foods, meal prepping and buying produce help lower cost. When I was in my early twenties I tried to challenge myself to live off of 50 dollars a week but with healthy food, I was in an overpriced neighborbood too. It was hard but I did it. Also I reccomend getting food stamps for anyone really struggling if your in the usa.

This is true. If you have a tiny bit of dairy, it can automatically give you 1 or 2 pimples.

Clean diet wouldnt be effective if youre stress it is based on my exp I tried clean diet and it stresses me out so I saw not difference. Do not rely on clean diet, you also need to find ways to relieve your stress! For me, stress would be the 60% reason of my acne, 40% is diet. Find things that makes your happy, and eat clean as much as you can but do not stress out about it! 💕

Kyle45

taby marie I started drinking celery juice every morning on an empty stomach and waited atleast 25 min to eat breakfast, I cut out gluten, dairy, citric acid. Also it’s very important to cut out fats, even vegan fats like nuts while healing. Medical medium explains that acne is caused by the streptococcus virus, and he recommends many things that can help such as lemon balm, cats claw... there’s so much info I couldn’t possibly write it all here,trust me check out his insta ❤️

taby marie

ShyRae10 that could be, because every morning i eat a fruit bowl☹️ does that mean that i have to reduce all fruits?

taby marie

Kait Ka what did you change ? I wanna know🥺

Kyle45

Same thing happened to me, then I found @medicalmedium on Instagram, he explains everything about acne so well! Now my skin is clearing on a vegan diet following his advice ❤️

ShyRae10

taby marie It could be from having too much sugar and carbs from your vegan diet, e.g., lots of fructose from fruit, which can cause an overgrowth of Candida yeast or bad bacteria in your gut.

I am allergic to mozarella cheese and whenever I eat a pizza , next day I have some cystic acne on my face. Same with pickles and other processed cheese. I don't eat pizza now , whenever I want pizza ,I make it at home without cheese. Difficult to stick to good food for ever but still trying my best.

Pizza Marinara is cheese free and delicious!

The hormonal acne is caused due to body not able able to generate the right hormones at right time. So this can be fixed by sleeping and waking up at the same time everyday. Sleep at 10:30 and wake up at 7:00 everyday, then expose urself to 30 mins sun in morning so body will know its become morning. So this is a simple fix.

The only dairy I have is in my coffee creamer and omg my skin is awful. I seriously have tried various diets it’s just crazy I take supplements I feel hopeless right now over my skin. I get embarrassed going to the gym or supermarket but I try to hype myself up anyway and exude confidence.

thespartanchannel

I'm there with ya girl! I hope you find something that helps soon. I read that rubbing an ice cube all over your face in the am and night after washing face and before any other products helps to ease the inflammation. That's the next thing I'm trying!!
