Breaking Out
Nine Lashes Lyrics

We find peace in the most unlikely place
Despite how unexpected it may seem, we can discover tranquility even within unexpected circumstances.

But no one ever told you so
Unfortunately, no one had informed you of this fact previously.

So you were left alone and cold
Thus, you were left feeling isolated and empty.

It's the trust in ever-after as it's told
True relief and hope stems from the belief in the afterlife as it's preached to us.

It's the finding out a way to let this go
To move forward, we must uncover a means to let go of any negative emotions.

Though the pain has held you down
Despite the pain that has impeded on you.

This is the day we're breaking out
Today, we shall break free.

Breaking out of here
Breaking free from the constraints imposed on us.

But you better not give up and go back home
However, it is imperative that you refrain from abandoning your progress and returning to your former state.

'Cause He had to die to give you light
Christ had to sacrifice himself in order to provide you with hope, symbolized by 'light'.

Give you light again
Reinstating the metaphor, the light represents the hope and possibility for a better future.

So you could find your way back among the living
This hope and possibility can help you regain your sense of purpose and allow you to once again feel alive.

These roads never take us all that far
The paths we take often do not lead us too far from our starting point.

They lead us into days where lights grow dim
Furthermore, they may lead us into periods of darkness and despair.

But we were never meant to be our sin
Nevertheless, we were never meant to be defined solely by our sins or mistakes.

And we were changed
We underwent a transformation.

We were the dead but now we're back as someone else
Prior to our transformation, we were essentially lifeless, but now we embody new traits and characteristics.

All of the pieces of our past have found their end, we got it made
The events that once weighed us down have come to an end, and we now hold a sense of satisfaction about our progress.

So you could find your way back
In order to change, you needed to rediscover your path.

So you could find your way back among the living
This rediscovery allowed you to feel as though you had regained your sense of purpose and once again felt alive.

This is the day we're breaking out
Today marks the day in which we will break free from the past.

Breaking out of here
Physically and mentally escaping the past and its negative influence on us.

But you better not give up and go back home
However, it is important that you do not give up on this progress and regress back into your former self.

'Cause He had to die to give you light
Just like before, Christ's sacrifice provides us with a sense of hope.

Give you light again
Allowing us to once again see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So you could find your way back among the living
This return to life provides the ability to move forward and stay positive.
