Breakaway
Our Heart's Hero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call it chance or destiny

Coincidental faith, why can't I know

Every step I'll ever take

Every corner of this winding road
All that lies in front of me

You hold the way

And I am in the middle

Theres no fear to be afraid

You're all that I need

(You're all that I need)

Breakaway

This empty space

Bring me back to You

Over and over again

Open eyes to see your face

Bring me back to You

Over and over

You're my only destiny

You're the only hope that my heart knows

You gave it all because of me

Everything I am to you, I owe

All that lies in front of me

You hold the way

And I am in the middle

Theres no fear to be afraid

You're all that I need

(You're all that I need)

Breakaway

This empty space

Bring me back to You

Over and over again

Open eyes to see your face

Bring me back to You

Over and over

Over and over

Take this place

Over and over

Fill this space

Over and over

With open eyes, as I find your face

Breakaway

This empty space

Bring me back to You

Over and over again

Open eyes to see your face

Bring me back to You

Over and over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Breakaway" by Our Heart's Hero express a sense of surrender and trust in a higher power. The opening lines suggest that there is a force beyond human control that is directing the singer's life, whether it be chance or destiny. The idea of coincidental faith implies a certain mysticism or spirituality, as if there is a divine plan at work. The singer acknowledges that every step they take and every turn they make is part of a winding road that they cannot see the end of. However, they find comfort in the belief that the way forward is held by the same force that has brought them this far. In the midst of uncertainty, there is no fear to be afraid because this force is all that the singer needs. The repeated refrain of "Bring me back to you over and over again" emphasizes the idea of surrendering to this higher power, trusting that it will guide them.


The second verse reaffirms the idea of surrender to this force, calling it the singer's only destiny and only hope. The singer recognizes that they owe everything they are to this force, and acknowledges their debt. Once again, they find comfort in the belief that the way forward is held by this force. The bridge of the song adds a sense of urgency, as the singer repeats the refrain with increasing intensity. They ask this force to take this place and fill this space, suggesting that they need it now more than ever. The final chorus brings the song to a close, repeating the same themes of surrender and trust, and highlighting the importance of seeing the face of this force.
