Glass Caves fuse agitated rhythms and yo-yoing guitars with vocal harmonies that splinter then soar through their songs. The band draw from a number of classic international influences and put them through a very British filter resulting in a perfectly formed morsels of ballsy alt-rock.
Breaking Out
Glass Caves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This place that you have
Put me in
It's time to get out
It's time to get out
Gonna leave the soul
Getting out of here
For me it's clear
It's time for me to slip away now
Break out of here
Go somewhere I belong
Break out of here
Blinded by
The Stereotypes
But I'm not that type
Now I'm going my own way
It's time to get out
Gonna leave the soul
Getting out of here
Baby I'm not sold
For me it's clear
It's time for me to slip away now
Break out of here
Go somewhere I belong
Break out of here
Go somewhere I belong
Break out of here
It's time for me to slip away now
Break out of here
Go somewhere I belong
Break out of here
Go somewhere I belong
Break out of here

Love this band and this song means a lot to me personally. Brilliant message received through this song and gave me a kick up the ass to do something about it. But more than that this song as like all of their songs is just bloody brilliant.
