Break
The Ace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always wanted to do something big with my life
But I was preoccupied
Something of mine wasn't quite right
I ran into trouble, I fell into Hell
It took me years to come back to myself
It took me years to ask someone for help
But slowly I managed to climb out the well
On top of the mountain, take in the moment
I realised I'm the opponent
Life is a blank page, you are the poet
You're writing your future
You don't even know it
I fell off a cliff and grew wings on the way down
I thought I was fucked
The curse was a gift man, I'm feeling great now
I'm all the way up
Yeah, I really hope that you find your peace
I really hope that your mind's at ease
Begging to God I was on my knees
Yeah, praying that one day I'd be released
I realised all this time I had the keys
Never give up if you wanna be free
Never give up and abandon your dreams
Fear's an illusion, it's not what it seems
I feel like a prisoner of my own mind
And I wanna break free
No mountain in the world that I wouldn't climb
Just so I could break free
I almost gave up on breathing
Every day I was thinking of leaving
I started typing a text, then deleted it
Did it 5/6 times, I repeated it
Never felt more defeated, I started weeping
I sent the text, I felt something releasing
You know that you really should speak to someone
But you keep your mouth shut regardless
You're blocking your light and you don't even know
You're the one who's creating your darkness
Tell me how am I supposed to get past this?
How am I supposed to get past this?
You wanna stop the pain? You gotta look within
You're walking on ice that's looking thin
I'm doing alright because I won the fight
But you'll never know quite what it took to win
It's hard for a man when he opens up
Cos when he opens up he feels weak
So we all just act like we don't give a fuck
But that's not the truth underneath
We suffer in silence, drowning quietly
I never told anyone about my anxiety
Scared to be judged undesirably
That's just the pressure I feel from society
I feel like a prisoner of my own mind
And I wanna break free
No mountain in the world that I wouldn't climb
Just so I could break free
I feel like a prisoner of my own mind
And I wanna break free




No mountain in the world that I wouldn't climb
Just so I could break free

I used to absolutely love the ace family. I watched them when Elle wasn't even a year old and still watched for the longest, but they started to become so much less genuine. The reason I loved them was because of how genuine and positive they were, it wasn't all for views and money it just seemed like they were enjoying their life and having fun. Now its a lot different, there's so much drama and lies, its so toxic. Catherine and austins relationship itself is toxic. I don't like speaking like this on other peoples lives but its just so disappointing to witness what was such a happy family turn into such a fake life with negativity.

L Y D I A

well money does change people

Maya Deng

i agree with you

Ninevah Rugama

I'm gonna have to agree. I've never watched them because I don't like people that are not genuine and are fake. I heard a lot of things about them so I don't even bother.

Smokey The God

Negativity and idiocy.
