Break
Bizkit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is fucked, everybody sucks
You don't really know why but you want to justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact, your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away, motherfucker
It's just one of those days
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the shit slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that shit
It's just one of those days, feeling like a freight train
First one to complain leaves with a bloodstain
Damn right, I'm a maniac
You better watch your back 'cause I'm fucking up your program
And if you're stuck up, you just lucked up
Next in line to get fucked up
Your best bet is to stay away, motherfucker
It's just one of those days
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the shit slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that shit punk
So come and get it
I feel like shit
My suggestion, is to keep your distance
'Cause right now I'm dangerous
But we've all felt like shit
And been treated like shit
All those motherfuckers that want to step up
I hope you know, I pack a chainsaw (chainsaw)
I'll skin your ass raw (ass raw)
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break something tonight
I pack a chainsaw (chainsaw)
I'll skin your ass raw (ass raw)
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break something tonight
I pack a chainsaw (chainsaw)
I'll skin your ass raw (ass raw)
And if my day keeps going this way, I just might
Break your fucking face tonight
Give me something to break
Give me something to break
Just give me something to break
How 'bout your fucking face?
I hope you know, I pack a chainsaw
What?
A chainsaw
What?
A motherfucking chainsaw
What?
So come and get it
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, let the shit slip
Or you'll be leaving with a fat lip
It's all about the he says, she says bullshit
I think you better quit, talking that shit, punk
So come and get it
In the lyrics of "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit, the song reflects a sense of frustration, anger, and aggression that many people can relate to. The opening lines set the tone for a bad day, where everything seems to be going wrong and there's a general feeling of dissatisfaction with the world. The singer expresses a desire for violence, or at least the fantasy of violently lashing out at someone, as a way to release this pent-up anger.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of social interactions and conflicts. The "he says, she says bullshit" suggests petty gossip and rumors that are causing further frustration and tension. The singer warns against engaging in such toxic behavior and urges others to step away from unnecessary drama and conflict.
As the song progresses, the aggression escalates, with the singer feeling like a "freight train" and a "maniac" who is ready to explode. The imagery of leaving with a "bloodstain" and the references to violence with a chainsaw further reinforce the intense emotions being expressed.
Despite the violent and aggressive tone of the lyrics, there is also a sense of vulnerability and a recognition that everyone has felt overwhelmed and mistreated at times. The chorus of "I hope you know, I pack a chainsaw. I’ll skin your ass raw" conveys the idea that the singer is not to be messed with, but also suggests a desperate cry for respect and understanding.
In the final lines of the song, the singer demands something to break, symbolizing a need to release this pent-up frustration physically. The repeated phrases of "Give me something to break" and the aggressive challenge to "Come and get it" further emphasize the intense emotions and the desire for a release from the anger and chaos. Overall, "Break Stuff" captures the frustration and inner turmoil that can lead to destructive behavior when emotions reach a boiling point.
