With a plot described as a modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet, High School Musical is a story of two high school juniors from rival cliques: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the school basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens), a shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students' attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to "stick with the status quo."

Breaking Free
High School Musical Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not a star in Heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying,
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us,
Creating space between us,
Till we're separate hearts
But your faith it gives me strength,
Strength, to believe
We're breaking free
We're soaring, flying
There's not a star in Heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying,
Yeah we're breaking free,
Oh we're breaking free (Oohh)
Can you feel it building?
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling,
Ooh in our very souls
(very souls ooh)
Rising till it lifts us up
So everyone can see
We're breaking free
We're soaring, flying
There's not a star in Heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying,
Yeah we're breaking free,
Oh we're breaking free (Oohh)
Running, climbing
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time,
So we're breaking free
(We're breaking free ooh yeah)
More than hope,
More than faith,
This is truth,
This is fate,
And together,
We'll see it coming
More than you,
More than me,
Not a want,
But a need
Both of us breaking free
We're soaring, flying
There's not a star in Heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying,
Yeah we're breaking free, (breaking free)
Oh we're breaking free (Oohh)
Running, ooh climbing
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time, (now's the time)
So we're breaking free
You know the world can see us,
In a way that's different from who we are...
Breaking Free is a song that talks about the challenges that come with discovering who we truly are and breaking free from societal expectations. The opening lines "We're soaring, flying, there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach if we're trying" indicate a sense of freedom and a belief that with enough effort, anything is possible. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for finding oneself and breaking free from societal constructs. The second set of lines "You know the world can see us, in a way that's different from who we are, creating space between us, till we're separate hearts but your faith it gives me strength, strength to believe" talks about how the world perceives us and can sometimes create a disconnect between our true selves and how others perceive us. The singer acknowledges the importance of faith and belief in their journey to break free.
The chorus "We're breaking free" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the idea of breaking free from societal constructs that restrict us. The lines "Can you feel it building? Like a wave the ocean just can't control, connected by a feeling in our very souls" suggest a sense of unity and connection as they break free. The bridge "More than hope, more than faith, this is truth, this is fate, and together we'll see it coming, more than you, more than me, not a want, but a need, both of us breaking free" reinforces the idea that breaking free is not just a want but a need and can only be achieved together.
Overall, Breaking Free is an uplifting song that encourages self-expression and breaking free from societal expectations. It promotes the idea that we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to and that we should believe in ourselves and each other.
