Break
The Dust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world's a burning building
And you're asleep in the bedroom
The tragedy is that
You don't care about the heat
I'm banging down the door
And screaming through a megaphone, so
Get up and get ready
So hang on as we break
The same song and dance routine
We'll watch the Earth blown away
This big mistake

The world's a setting sun
And you're still holding on to it tightly
It's time we all experience
The beauty of release
We have arrived, we have survived
To see the ending of an era
So get up and get ready
Yeah

So hang on as we break
The same song and dance routine
We'll watch the Earth blown away
This big mistake

Can it be so hard, can it be so hard to break?
Can it be so hard, can it be so hard to break?
We're counting up our scars
But can it be so hard to break?

So hang on as we break
The same song and dance routine
We'll watch the Earth blown away
From this big mistake

So hang on as we break
The same song and dance routine
We'll watch the Earth blown away




This big mistake
(breathing and gasping)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Dust's song "Break" convey a powerful message about the state of the world and the need for change. The opening line, "The world's a burning building," signifies the urgency and crisis of our current situation. While the world is in turmoil, the listener is represented as being asleep in the bedroom, oblivious to the chaos. The tragedy lies in the indifference towards the heat, symbolizing the lack of concern for the problems we face.


The singer of the song takes on the role of a passionate activist, portrayed as banging down the door and screaming through a megaphone. This signifies a desperate attempt to wake up others and bring about change. The repetition of the line "Get up and get ready" emphasizes the need to take action and not remain passive amidst the chaos.


The lyrics continue to express the idea that the world is approaching its end, referring to it as a "setting sun." The plea to "experience the beauty of release" suggests that holding onto the dying world tightly is futile. It is time to let go and allow a new era to unfold. The singer highlights the significance of surviving to witness the ending of an era, urging everyone to get ready and embrace a new beginning.


The chorus reinforces the call for change, emphasizing the repetition of the same song and dance routine that has led to the current state. The metaphorical imagery of watching the Earth blown away signifies the consequences of our actions, acknowledging the magnitude of the mistake we have made.


In the bridge, the repetition of the question "Can it be so hard, can it be so hard to break?" reflects the frustration and disbelief towards the resistance to change. The counting of scars signifies the pain and suffering endured, questioning why breaking away from destructive patterns is so difficult.


Overall, "Break" by The Dust serves as a passionate plea for awakening, change, and embracing a new beginning. It encourages listeners to challenge the status quo, let go of old habits, and take responsibility for the planet's future.

Lyrics

Let's go!

Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready? Hey
Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust (yeah)
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you, when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, look out

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Hey!

Oh, take it
Bite the dust
Bite the dust, hey

Hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow!
Another one bites the dust, hey, hey
Another one bites the dust, hey
Ooh, shout!

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he's down, yeah

But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, oh yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Shoot out
Ay-yeah
Alright

Steve walks warily down the street,
With his brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat

I'd be honored if some Queen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of RADIO GA-GA in tribute to Freddie's vocals and Roger's songwriting. Live recording with no autotune or digital editing. Peace & stay safe.

@ItzzFr4n3k

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
