Break
Violents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come away from the stars
Silence, too far
Cities can't hold your light
Break your kind
You stay away for too long again
Silence, too far
Cities can't hold your light
Break your kind
The lyrics of Violents’ song Break are evocative and open to interpretation. The repetition of “you come away from the stars again” and “silence, too far” suggests a feeling of disconnection or isolation. The line “cities can’t hold your light” could be interpreted as a commentary on the sometimes soulless nature of urban life, where the bright lights of the city can be overwhelming and leave one feeling adrift. The phrase “break your kind” may be a call to action to break from societal norms or expectations and forge one’s own path, regardless of what others may think or say.
The second verse repeats the same structure as the first, with the addition of “you stay away for too long again”. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for someone who is prone to retreat into themselves, often cutting themselves off from others for extended periods of time. The phrase “break your kind” takes on a different meaning in this context, suggesting perhaps that the singer urges the listener to break free from their own self-imposed isolation or negative patterns of behavior.
Overall, the lyrics of Break are introspective and contemplative, urging the listener to take a closer look at themselves and their choices, while also pointing to the importance of connection and community.
