Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon
The Break
Urge Overkill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things are never what they seem
What seems close is so far away
And you keep runnin' out of words to say
But I keep on singing anyway
'Cause I'm never goin' back there
No I'm never goin' back there
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
I'm asleep when I'm awake
I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heart ache
I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
No one calls much anymore
That's okay 'cause I don't use the phone
It feels better on your own
But don't get wasted every day alone
And I'm never goin' back there
I don't care
I don't want to talk much anymore
'Cause it's a place with no way in it It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heartache I can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Urge Overkill's song, "The Break," is a reflection on the need for change and escape from one's current situation. The lyrics express a desire for escapism, a break from the monotony of everyday life. The singer yearns for a clean break, one that is not tainted by the past or uncertain future. The song also touches upon themes of loneliness and isolation, as the singer suggests they are better off on their own.
The opening lyrics reveal a sense of disillusionment with one's surroundings. The singer states, "Things are never what they seem / What seems close is so far away / And you keep runnin' out of words to say". The repetition of the phrase, "I can't get a break," reinforces this feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward.

The chorus repeats the statement, "I'm never goin' back there," emphasizing the need for a clean break and a new start. The line, "Folks don't really talk much about it anymore," suggests that the person's past is a topic of discussion or shame, further emphasizing the need for a fresh start.
Overall, "The Break" is a poignant song that speaks to the desire for change and the need to break free from one's current situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I need a break and I need one clean
I require some time off to clear my head
Things are never what they seem
The reality is often different from its appearance
What seems close is so far away
What appears to be nearby is actually distant
And you keep runnin' out of words to say
You're losing your ability to express yourself
But I keep on singing anyway
Despite the circumstances, I continue to sing
'Cause I'm never goin' back there
I have no intention of returning to a past experience
No I'm never goin' back there
I'm determined to move forward and not dwell on the past
Folks don't really talk much about it anymore
People tend to avoid discussing certain topics these days
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's an inaccessible and hopeless location
It's a road to no way out
There's no escape or resolution in sight
I'm asleep when I'm awake
I feel numb and disconnected even in waking moments
I can't get a break
I can't catch a break in my current state
And I'm falling out
I'm losing my grip on my life
I'm falling down again
I'm going through a painful setback once again
And I'm calling out
I'm seeking help and support
I'm calling out to you
I'm reaching out to someone specific for assistance
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a hopeless and inaccessible environment
Everything ends in a heart ache
All things ultimately lead to sorrow
No one calls much anymore
People are less communicative than before
That's okay 'cause I don't use the phone
It doesn't bother me because I don't rely on phone calls
It feels better on your own
Solitude is sometimes preferable to social interaction
But don't get wasted every day alone
However, don't resort to self-destructive behaviors when alone
I don't care
I have no concern or desire for a particular outcome
I don't want to talk much anymore
I've grown tired of communication and interactions

I wasn't blown away by SATURATION although it had a wicked album cover, but this album is one of the best rock albums of all time, one of the greatest 'lost' albums of all time if you know what I mean, they deserved to be huge.
Rick Overton
They're still huge and always will be...good call on that one.
D Owens
I prefer Saturation, but this song is fucking great.
Ultrasuede
I'd never seen the video for this awesome song until now. Love it! Saturation and Exit the Dragon are two incredible albums that I still rank in the top echelon of my all-time favorite albums. And my most sincere wishes go out to Ed 'King' Roeser as he recovers from the heart attack he had in late May. Hope you fully recover soon, Ed, and that you have many years of rockin' in the future.
Animo et Prudentia
I hadn't heard that about Eddie. Thanks for sharing, even though I'm 14 months behind.
Lloyd Hartley
This band, in my opinion had the best 2 consecutive albums from start to finish!
Shamus442
Urge at its peak👍👍👍 I listen to this all the time👍
The Vermin Media are your Enemies Free People
My top 2 albums of all time, in terms of wearing out and loving are:
(1) Appetite for Destruction
(2) Exit the Dragon
These guys have to be the most underrated band in the world.
