breakOUT
Through Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voices chasing me
The darkness creeps
Underneath my skin
Now we meet again
What do you want from me
Whoa, you push then you pull
Whoa, just let me go
Tear down these walls
As I watch you fall
Then rise above it all
This time I break out, break out
This time I break out, break out
I've got blood shot eye's
I've got a million scars
I'm taking back what's mine
I'll fight until I die
The opening lines of Through Fire's "Breakout" describe a sense of terror and unease that is overtaking the singer. They are haunted by nightmares and voices that seem to be following them wherever they go, and they feel as though a creeping darkness is seeping into their very being. The line "Now we meet again" suggests that this is not a new experience for the singer, but rather a recurring nightmare that continues to plague them.
As the song progresses, the singer confronts their tormentor and demands to know what they want. The repeated phrase "Whoa, you push then you pull / Why are you haunting me / Whoa, just let me go" conveys a sense of frustration and desperation, as though the singer is caught in a cycle of abuse and manipulation that they cannot escape. The chorus, with its triumphant declaration that "This time I break out," signals a newfound determination to fight back and overcome their fears.
The final lines of the song are particularly poignant, as the singer acknowledges the pain and trauma they have experienced by stating that they have "blood shot eyes" and "a million scars." However, they are also determined to reclaim their power and take back what is rightfully theirs. The line "I'll fight until I die" underscores this sense of resilience and strength, suggesting that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to break free from their tormentor and move forward with their life.
