Artist vs. Poet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Washing machine, aggressions target
She plays
See the different masks nailed by her own at her head
She’s acting good! She’s acting in bed
When will you ever be yourself?
You’re your own disaster
When will you ever be?
Animal love is his sign of love
Feel the pressure of his love he is fucking above
Life, that means to satisfy expectations
A slave in golden chains
You call it relationship
When will you ever be yourself?
You’re your own disaster
When will you ever be?
Believe me, you’re so alone
Sometimes she’s dreaming
With the help of her last fantasy
A hero, such a nice man
Like a a romance in TV with a perfect sexuality
She acts every day
Washing machine, aggressions target she plays
See the different masks nailed by her own at her head
She’s acting good! She’s acting in bed
When will you ever be yourself?
You’re your own disaster
When will you ever be?
Believe me, you’re so alone
Break up break out
Break up or break out
Break up break out
Break up or break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
Break up break out
You better break up break out
The lyrics of Artist vs. Poet's "Break" reveals the struggles of an individual trying to break free from the expectations set by society and the masks they wear to fit in. The first stanza personifies the character as an actor who puts on different personas to deal with everyday situations and pressures. The line, "When will you ever be yourself?" echoes the longing for self-authenticity and breaking away from a self-destructive pattern.
The second stanza shifts focus to someone stuck in a toxic relationship. The line, "Life, that means to satisfy expectations. A slave in golden chains. You call it a relationship," speaks to the idea that even in relationships that are bad for us, we tend to stay because it is what we think we should be doing. The phrase, "Animal love is his sign of love. Feel the pressure of his love he is fucking above," suggests that the relationship is sexually charged, intense, and unsustainable.
The last stanza returns to the first theme of the character trying to break free. The line, "Sometimes she's dreaming with the help of her last fantasy. A hero, such a nice man, like a romance on TV with perfect sexuality," refers to the notion that fantasies of a perfect relationship can keep us captive and hindering our growth. The repeated phrase, "Break up, break out," is a call to action, urging the character to break free from the patterns and relationships that are holding them back.

Hello nostalgia
Seems I'm back in this place once again
And I've got no way out
I found ya
On your knees, beggin' me once again
You're a habit I can't kick
You were the one, I gave you everything
Yeah, everything
But now it's nothing but a memory
So I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
Darling you should be shaking
To the core, don't you realize the power I've come to possess now
You can hate me
All you want but don't put up
This front that you're happy ‘cause I know
You're as sad as they come
Do you remember we had everything? Oh
I twist it all into a memory
So I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
And break your reign on me
Oh, so I'll figure it out
Get off the ground
Realize I don't need you around
And I see through your lies
Your clever disguise
You had me caught in your sapphire eyes
But I am learning how to look the other way
And break your reign on me
