breakOUT
The Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watch me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Breakout!
Go, go, go
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout
The lyrics of The Foo Fighters's song Breakout seems to show us a perplexed lover who is dizzy from the circles their lover is making in their head. The lyrics depict the singer feeling overwhelmed as they try to catch up and keep up with their love interest. The phrase "One of these days I'll chase you down" shows that the singer is fully aware that their love interest is playing hard to get, but they are still determined to pursue them. The line "We're face to face my friend, better get out, better get out" suggests that the singer realizes they have got into deep waters in this relationship, and it is time for them to back down before it's too late.
The phrase "You know you make me breakout, make me breakout" in the chorus shows that the singer feels like their lover has control over them, and they cannot help but feel dizzy and go crazy. They do not want to look crazy or like they have lost their minds, as they sing, "I don't wanna look like that." The line "Therapy still scares me, putting me on my back again" shows that the singer has tried to seek help to overcome their feelings, but they have failed to gain control. Finally, the chorus ends with the singer reaffirming that they do not want to look like that and that their love interest makes them breakout.
Line by Line Meaning
You make me dizzy
You confuse me and I can't focus
Running circles in my head
Your actions and words are making me overthink and obsess
One of these days I'll chase you down
I will make an effort to confront you about how you make me feel
Well look who's going crazy now
Ironically, I am now the one who is losing their mind
We're face to face my friend
We are in close proximity and unable to avoid each other
Better get out
It would be wise to leave the situation to avoid conflict
You know you make me breakout
Your behavior and treatment of me is causing me to break free
I don't wanna look like that
I don't want to continue acting in ways that resemble your behavior
You can see this on my face
My expression reveals the impact you have on me
It's all for you
My actions and feelings are solely driven by my desire to please you
The more and more I take I break right through
Continuing to tolerate mistreatment will lead to my eventual breaking point
Therapy still scares me
The idea of therapy is intimidating to me
Putting me on my back again
The thought of therapy is causing me distress and discomfort
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
The impact of your behavior on me may be making me seem unstable or irrational
One of these days I'll phase you out
I will distance myself from you and cut ties when I am ready
Burn it in the blast off
I want to rid myself of the negative impact you have on me
Watch me crawl away
You will witness me leaving and moving on from our relationship
Try to get out
I am attempting to distance myself from you and the negative impact you have on me
Breakout!
I am breaking free from the grip of your negative influence
Go, go, go
I am moving forward and not looking back
