Break
Stain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had nails in my back
I've felt the new world crack
I've been to hell and back
You won't break me

I've felt the guilt of doing wrong
I've been the unsung song
I've seen the walls rise and fall
You can't break me

You can't break me
Just you try to take me
Because I've been to hell before
And I can take a whole lot more
You can't break me
Just try and take me
Because I've been through hell before
And I know I can take some more

You can have me at my throat
Beat me till my bones are broke
You can drag me down below
But you will never get my soul

Cause my spirits strong and loud
And the man is in my house
And I'm never gonna bow
You can't break me

You can't break me
Just try and take me
Because I've been through hell before
And I know I can take some more
You can't break me
Just try and take me
Because I've been through hell before
And I know I can take some more

Jesus came to save me
The devil came to shake me
But God's the one who made me
You can't break me

You can't break me
Just try and take me
Because I've been through hell before
And I know I can take some more

You cant break me
Just try and take me




Because I've been through hell before
And I know I can take some more

Stain: I can excuse murder, but I draw the line at rape.
Iida: You can excuse murder?!

@fenrirsrage4609

Honestly I like how Stain's return fully shows that despite being a villain he actually believes in genuine heroism. From helping out a dying guard to deliver very important information, reinvigorating All Might and coming in clutch in a later battle.

@cunningsmile4166

Stain respects CONVICTION. The ability to stand by your beliefs. It's the very same reason that he loathes commercialized heroes. He sees heroism as having become bastardized.

@grenadesblows719

Well he took out a discord mod. So he cant be all bad

@chilomine839

LOL!!!

@ash_lucario_ship183

Congratulations Shigaraki now you have an additional charge for inciting a prison riot and mass prison escape.

@reillyclubb3467

The hero killer stain he's out of prison this is more serious than I thought the best thing to do is to be prepared for anything or another hero will be killed.

@ceecee6521

He's like a century old and he's done way worse, he's not gonna care about a few more charges.

Besides, at this point, not even the death penalty's a harsh enough punishment for him.

@Spades-tx6wv

The side profile of his chin did him dirty 😭

@Delita247

Man: Im gonna find me so many girls and take what ever I-- (Stain kills him)

Me; You sure about that?
