Break Stuff
Limp Bizkit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just one of those days where you don't want to wake up
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Limp Bizkit's song "Break Stuff" convey a sense of frustration, anger, and the desire for destruction. The first verse sets up the tone perfectly, describing a day where nothing seems to be going right and everyone is irritating. The singer hints at violence when he states that he wants to justify "ripping someone's head off." The song's chorus revolves around the he-said-she-said nature of rumors and gossip and suggests that instead of constantly talking, people should be taking action. The second verse contains more aggression, with the singer feeling like a "freight train" and threatening to hurt anyone who gets in his way. He emphasizes the use of a chainsaw as a symbol of his desire to destroy everything in his path.


Overall, "Break Stuff" can be interpreted as a release for pent-up anger and frustration in a society where people don't know how to express themselves. Though the song's message is not necessarily promoting violence, it does seem to validate explosive outbursts as a way to feel empowered and in control.
