AC4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bigger cages is not what I need
Mentally restrained while my body bleeds
Give me another reason not to break free
Breakout Breakout
Hateful and spiteful with other needs
Imprisons my body and dumbs down my mind
We'll make you pay when we burn it all down
Breakout Breakout
Here we are still looking for the breakout
Don't know how but we've got to break out
What you sow is what we'll reap
That's one promise I am going to keep

The chorus "Breakout Breakout" embodies their desire to break free from societal expectations, the mental and physical limitations that shackle them, and seeking a release from their frustration. The second verse shifts from a general dissatisfaction to a more specific anger directed towards someone who is pretending to be their savior while being nothing but a jailor. The band members know that they have the potential to achieve greatness, but their minds are being dulled by their oppressors' attempts to control them.
The final verse is a call to action, a promise to rebel against the system that has held them back for so long. They are determined to break free from their chains and will not rest until they have achieved liberty. Overall, the lyrics of Breakout are a message of hope and resistance, conveying the struggles of those who feel confined and restricted in their daily lives.
