breakOUT
V. Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no reward, no ending the sight
Sweet destiny, she's waiting for me
I'll find her walking down my street of dreams
Her name is no mercy
She's the calm before the storm
Fighters have only but one tool
We're gonna lay down our lives and survive
And hear our battle cry:
[Chorus]
Breakout, freedom calls me
Breakout, no chains can hold me down
Breakout, rip it up we make the laws and break it
Breakout, sound of sirens
Breakout, wailing as the night cries
Breakout, band of gypsies, young blood on the rise
We live by day and we love by night
Across the badlands, angels in flight
Nowhere to run, no the proud, they never hide
Live by the gun, aces high, come on let it ride
Yeah, they call us the hunted
We've got nothing left to lose
Wanted men, women, and losers unite
We shed our tears for the sacrifice
We'll never surrender or take us alive
You better hear our battle cry
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics to V. Vincent's song Breakout are a powerful ode to the unbreakable human spirit and the determination to fight for one's freedom. The song speaks of a journey undertaken alone by the singer, through the dark night with no end in sight, in search of destiny. Destiny, personified as a woman, goes by the name of 'no mercy', portraying her as a formidable force. The song goes on to describe the singer's fearless attitude towards risk-taking in the face of danger, and the willingness to lay their lives down for their cause. The chorus which repeats itself twice, acts as an anthem, calling for the "breakout" of those who refuse to be held down by chains and oppressors.
As the verses progress, the song takes on a more positive and hopeful tone, celebrating the freedom fighters who live by a single golden rule and settle for nothing less than victory. They are not deterred by anything, but rather anticipate the sirens wailing as they march forward with a band of gypsies and the spirit of the young and the wild. "Breakout" is a song that resonates with those who are determined to break free from societal constraints and fight for their right to live on their own terms. It's a tribute to people who are willing to brave the most adverse of conditions and make something of themselves when the odds are stacked against them.

There's a REASON you don't see ANYONE (NOBODY) trying to COVER( not even guitar on youtube!) these songs,.They are TOO difficult,.Most underrated group of all time,.Would love to see ANYONE cover Naughty Naughty ( or 10 other non- radio songs by this group),.People try to throw that song aside like it's just a GLAM band song,.PLAY IT,. Hear Me ,,.PLAY IT!,. These songs need to be examined, pinned over, explored, and audited to the NTH degree,.They can't be just thrown aside like normal Glam Band stuff,.It is MIND NUMBING shyte when you break it down,.Vocals, GUITAR, and drums are SERIOUS,.Vinnie needs some PROPS
Tony Brick
So true. Nobody under the sun.

Paul Matthew G. The solo and all the guitar fills on this song are effin’ INSANE. Some people can say whatever they want about his technique, but Vinnie’s imagination is incredible.
