Overall Meaning

The Chris Warren Band's song Break It Down is a defiant declaration that the band will not be told what to do, wear or be by anyone. It is a call to arms for anyone who has felt stifled by authority figures, asking them to join the D-Generation X movement and break away from expectations. The lyrics suggest that the band members are tired of being told what to do and that they are done with it.


The song is full of power and attitude, with strong, aggressive vocals and heavy guitar riffs. The lyrics are confrontational, challenging anyone who would try to control them. The repeated refrain of "D-Generation X" is a rallying cry for those who feel oppressed to take control of their lives and break free from the constraints of society.


The song is a call to arms for anyone who feels like they are not in control of their own lives. It is about taking control and being true to oneself, even if it means going against the expectations of others. It is a song that speaks to the rebel in all of us, encouraging us to take a stand and break it down.
