2009 saw Aranda’s single, “Still in the Dark,” break into the top 30 on the Active Rock chart.
That same year, American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson hand-picked two Aranda songs to cover on her album, All I Ever Wanted — including the high-energy in-your-face song of rebellion, “Whyyawannabringmedown” and, “All I Ever Wanted,” which became the title track for Clarkson’s album. Also, in 2009, Aranda’s “Whyyawannabringmedown” was selected by the WWE as the theme song for the pay-per-view event, The Bash.
Clarkson’s covers reinforced to the band that their music has an audience if given the proper chance. Aranda released a deluxe edition of their 2008 self-titled debut album, which included live tracks and a radio mix of “Whyyawannabringmedown,” along with a DVD of their wall-shaking album release show, Aranda: Live From OKC.
Dameon and Gabe have shared the stage with many of the biggest names in rock performing with hit bands such as Papa Roach, Saving Abel, Stone Temple Pilots, Shinedown, Staind, Sick Puppies, The All American Rejects, Rev Theory, Saliva, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, Halestorm and Black Stone Cherry. With the brothers’ airtight harmonies and passionate onstage performances, Aranda’s live show is unforgettable.
“We want to create high energy, keep rocking, keep everybody entertained. We want to involve the audience and make it fun for them,” Dameon says. “Our hope is that you’ll keep coming back for more.”
Aranda joined Saving Abel in the summer of 2012, on a nationwide tour with special guest Redlight King. The tour included stops in major markets throughout the U.S. In August 2012, Aranda supported Theory of a Deadman on several tour dates, including stops at The Knitting Factory in Boise, ID, Spokane, WA and Reno, NV. Currently they are on the road with Daughtry and 3 Doors Down.
Wind-up Records released Aranda's second studio album, Stop the World, on October 16th, 2012, which was Produced by Grammy-nominated Producer, Johnny K., (Disturbed, Sevendust, Staind, Drowning Pool). Stop the Worldhas already yielded three national radio hits — “Undone," peaking at #26 on the Active Rock chart and “Satisfied,” which peaked at #14 on the Active Rock chart. The latest single “One More Lie” is currently climbing the Active Rock charts.
Break Away
Aranda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who I am, I don't know anymore
Got me blinded by your circumstance
I'm stuck in the middle
See, I know how the story goes
If you love me, gotta let it go
'Cause I'm starting to see what I want to be
And I'm not giving up on it
And I, I gotta get away
Gotta make a change
I don't wanna give you up
But this is more than I can take
Gotta set you free, wanted to believe
But I've finally had enough
I gotta break away, yeah
Oh, gotta break away
I gotta break away
Can't you see this time is passing
It's gone before you know it
And I don't think you really understand
Oh, but now I see it
I think you know how the story goes
If you love me, baby let me go
'Cause the chase that I find
Is yours, not mine
And I won't be your prisoner
And I, I gotta get away
Gotta make a change
I don't want to give you up
But this is more than I can take
Gotta set you free, wanted to believe
But I finally had enough
I gotta break away, yeah
Oh, c'mon, gotta break away
Whoa-oh
And I don't know where
This road is taking me
But I'm moving on
And I'm never looking back
Here we go
Said I, I gotta get away
Gotta make a change
I don't wanna give you up
But this is more than I can take
Gotta set you free, wanted to believe
But I finally had enough
And I, I gotta get away
Gotta make a change
I don't wanna give you up
But this is more than I can take
Gotta set you free, wanted to believe
But I finally had enough
I gotta break away, yeah
Oh, gotta break away
Hey, c'mon, oh gotta break away
Wanted to believe
Wanted to believe
Wanted to believe
The lyrics to Aranda's song "Break Away" is a representation of a person who has been trapped in a toxic relationship for too long. The individual confesses that the partner has had so much power over them, to the extent that they don't know who they are anymore. They have been blinded by the circumstances surrounding the relationship and are now stuck in the middle. However, they have come to understand the narrative behind such a relationship, and they are making a decision to break away. They recognize that they have to let go, even though it may be hard, and start focusing on what they want to become. The bridge of the song highlights that they do not know where this new action will lead them, but they are willing to move on while never looking back.
The song posits that every individual deserves to be free and whole, and no one should have the power to hold them back. Often we go through life believing the people we love can save us, but sometimes they inadvertently inflict emotional distress on us that might be hard to shake. Therefore, it's essential to break away and focus on oneself.

ARANDA (2012) – BREAK AWAY (Traducción)
You got me wrapped around your finger
Me tienes comiendo de tu mano
Who I am, I don't know anymore
Quién soy, ya no lo sé
Got me blinded by your circumstance
Cegado por tu situación
I'm stuck in the middle
Estoy atrapado en medio
See, I know how the story goes
Ya veo, sé cómo va el tema
If you love me, gotta let it go
Si me amas, tienes que dejarme marchar
'Cause I'm starting to see what I want to be
Porque estoy comenzando a ver lo que quiero ser
And I'm not giving up on it
Y no voy a renunciar a ello
And I, I gotta get away
Y yo, tengo que escapar
Gotta make a change
Tengo que cambiar
I don't wanna give you up
No quiero renunciar a ti
But this is more than I can take
Pero esto es más de lo que puedo soportar
Gotta set you free, wanted to believe
Tengo que liberarte, quise creer
But I've finally had enough
Pero finalmente he tenido suficiente
I gotta break away, yeah
Tengo que romper contigo, sí
Oh, gotta break away
Oh, tengo que romper contigo

Oh, but now I see it
Oh, pero ahora lo veo
I think you know how the story goes
Creo que sabes cómo va el tema
If you love me, baby let me go
Si me amas, nena déjame marchar

Porque la persecución en la que me encuentro
Is yours, not mine
Es tuya, no mía

Y no quiero ser tu prisionero
And I, I gotta get away
Y yo, tengo que escapar
Gotta make a change
