Keychain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without subjects, order, riches & guns
I trace the maze, for ways to get undone
tricks of the trade I gave to everyone
Sick of Livin like a slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Riot Breaking Out,
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
My crew, illustrious with truth and the proof
Media wildfire, New Revolution
Legendary Contrarian
Keychain Sanctuary, I'm in
Fed Mercenaries can't scare me
Broken, Bloodied, Beaten
I've been, by Cops
Sick of livin like a Slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
And I follow you for life
I become someone different
My soul seeks like a knife
I'll find a reason
HEY
I know that you
SEE IT
I know that you
FEEL IT
I know that you wanna be a part of
IT NOW
This is My Life
This is Our Life
This is My Life
Sick of livin like a Slave
Today I quit this Cage
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin Down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
Fire Up in Town
Sky Empire comin down
Higher than the Sound
Riot Breaking Out
THIS JUST IN
I don't wanna be dead behind destruction, Fallout 5
THIS JUST IN
I just wanna be God of my own construction, Allmighty

The opening lines suggest that the institution the singer is in is dependent on control through force and wealth, and they seek to escape its confines. The singer notes that they have found tricks to try to escape the "maze" that they are in and that they have shared those tricks with others. The chorus suggests a desire for upheaval, with the "fire up in town" and "riot breaking out" indicating a desire to overthrow the current order. The following verse speaks to the singer's affiliation with a group that seeks truth, revolution, and sanctuary.
In the final lines, the singer expresses a desire to be in control of their own destiny, rather than being a victim of destruction or oppression. They seek to be the "God of [their] own construction" and take charge of their lives. The repetition of the phrase "This is my life" emphasizes the singer's determination to take control and live outside of the confines of the institution and societal expectations.
Overall, "Breaking Out" is a song of rebellion, calling for a desire to take control of one's own life and break free from oppressive systems. It speaks to a desire for freedom and individuality, as well as a desire to join with others in a collective revolution for change.
