Established in early 2008, the band began writing songs. Shortly after, first demos were recorded. The outcome demonstrates FINAL BREAKUPs strengths excellently: tight drumming, sharp but ultra-melodic guitars, bitter screams, and saccharine singing – all mixed up to expressive songs with catchy hooks.
As new as the band may be, all of its members have noteworthy experiences in Germany’s hard music scene. Ranging from a hardcore- over a metal- to a pop-background, the boys know their instruments and the conditions of today’s music industry. Each one is disposed to pay his dues to make FINAL BREAKUP a considerable act.

Final Breakup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I awake or in a dream
Can someone wake me up – and help me breathing
Am I moving or did I stop
Wake up darling – where do you go today
Will I be able to find you - like yesterday
There you go – and close the door
Can you hear me scream – the windows are bursting
Am I awake or in a dream
Can someone wake me up – and help me breathing
Am I moving or did I stop
I follow you – your footprints right in front of mine
Will I be able to find you – this time
I try to hold it – but my hand is frozen
Will I be able to find you – again
Can you hear me scream – the windows are bursting
Am I awake or in a dream
Can someone wake me up – and help me breathing
Am I moving or did I stop
I can see – the white clouds passing by
And though I feel the rain
The teardrops running – from my eyes
And I forgot my name
Can you hear me scream – the windows are bursting
Am I awake or in a dream
Can someone wake me up – and help me breathing
Am I moving or did I stop
The lyrics of Final Breakup's song Chains seem to express the feelings of confusion, desperation, and loss of control that come with the breakdown of a relationship. The line "Can you hear me scream - the windows are bursting" seems to convey the intensity of emotion that the singer is experiencing. The repetition of the line "Am I awake or in a dream" suggests a feeling of disorientation, which is compounded by the sense of alienation expressed in the line "Can someone wake me up - and help me breathing." The sense of disconnection from the world is further reinforced by the line "Am I moving or did I stop," which implies a loss of agency and control.
The next verse seems to be addressed to the singer's partner. The line "Wake up darling - where do you go today" suggests a feeling of insecurity and uncertainty about the future. The repeated question "Will I be able to find you - like yesterday" seems to express a fear of abandonment and the need for reassurance. The final lines of the verse - "There you go - and close the door / Will I be able to find you - once more" - seem to express a sense of resignation and despair.
The final verse of the song continues the theme of loss and disorientation. The image of following the footprints of the singer's partner seems to suggest a desperate attempt to hold onto something that is slipping away. The line "I try to hold it - but my hand is frozen" suggests a feeling of helplessness in the face of the singer's impending breakup. The final lines - "And though I feel the rain / The teardrops running - from my eyes / And I forgot my name" - convey a sense of overwhelming grief and a loss of identity.
