1. - Wax was the union of veteran musicians Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, which produced several albums in the 1980s. Gold, the son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon (who had handled the singing for, among others, Natalie Wood in West Side Story), had been a member of Linda Ronstadt's band and found success as a solo artist and songwriter in the '70s. Gouldman had been a solo artist as well as a member of Hotlegs and 10cc.
In 1986, Wax released their debut, Magnetic Heaven, which spent nearly three months on the U.S. album charts, spawning the hit "Right Between the Eyes," which just failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at number 43. Two more albums by the duo followed, 1987's American English, which contained the successful European single "Bridge to Your Heart," and 1989's A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes. The latter two records failed to achieve sales of the debut and, by the beginning of the '90s, both Gold and Gouldman had moved on to other efforts; the former, in the singer/songwriter collaboration Bryndle; the latter, participating in a reunion with his 10cc mates.
2. - Wax is an American rapper/singer. He was one of the first "YouTube rappers", posting various songs and freestyles on the website since 2007. In 2008, he released Liquid Courage, his debut solo full-length album. He signed to Def Jam Records on March 2011, releasing his album "Scrublife" under the label, before parting ways with Def Jam in August 2012 due to creative differences. In early 2013, he released a new album "Continue"; in late 2015, he released "Livin' Foul", another studio album. His YouTube channel has over 99 million views (as of Oct. 30, 2018). He has frequently collaborated with other West Coast artists such as Dumbfoundead,Anderson .Paak, and Watsky. He has
also recorded music as part of the groups Wax and EOM, Clockwise and Wax and Herbal T, and was the lead singer of band Macgregor.
3. - Wax is a rock band based in San José, California. They are best known for the MTV "buzz clip" song, and the videoclip of their song "California," directed by Spike Jonze. The band contributed a cover of Ren & Stimpy's "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" for the compilation Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits and their song "Mallrats" was included in the soundtrack for the Kevin Smith film Mallrats. In the 1996 movie Bio-Dome, the band can be seen performing "He´s a Whore", "Do You Wanna Dance?", and "Your Intelligence". Loomis Fall went on to appear on Jackass the TV series and both Jackass films. The band reunited in July of 2009.
4. - 왁스 (Wax) is a female rock singer in South Korea. She debuted in 2000 with the single "Oppa" and has had seven albums (one marketed overseas) and two compilations.

Wax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the west side
To the east side
Love is unchained tonight
Under street lights
Or by candle light
Love is unchained tonight
Strange vision on the floor
Someone you've never seen before
Feel the presence of a mystery
Yeh, it's time to set your inhibition free
Breakout
Tear this place apart
Breakout
This is where we start
From the east end
To the west end
Whoa, love is unchained tonight
Feel the power
Got the spell again
Whoa, love is unchained tonight
With every step your spirits climb
The spotlight tonight will shine
I don't act hypnotised
Yeh, it's calling for you on the party line
Breakout
Tear this place apart
Breakout
This is where we start
Breakout
Tear this place apart
Breakout
This is where we start
Love is unchained tonight
Love is unchained tonight
Strange vision on the floor
Someone you've never seen before
Feel the presence of a mystery
Yeh, it's time to set your inhibition free
Breakout
Tear this place apart
Breakout
This is where we start
The lyrics of Wax's song "Breakout" describe a night of passion and spontaneity, where the barriers of inhibition are lifted, and love is free to roam. The song begins by describing how love is unchained tonight, from the west side to the east side. This line suggests that love is not confined to any particular area, but rather it is widespread and evenly distributed throughout the city. The lyrics then go on to describe how this love is experienced under the streetlights, or by candlelight, suggesting a sense of romanticism and intimacy.
The song also describes a strange vision on the dance floor, where someone you have never seen before is present, bringing a sense of mystery and intrigue to the occasion. The line "feel the presence of a mystery" suggests that this person, or perhaps the event itself, is otherworldly and something to be experienced. The chorus, "Breakout, tear this place apart,Breakout, this is where we start" further supports the idea of spontaneity and breaking free from the norm. It's a declaration, a call to action to embrace the moment, let go of inhibitions, and create something new and exciting.
Overall, "Breakout" is a song about seizing the moment and breaking free from the chains of inhibition, experiencing live and living in the moment.
