Break
Zeds-Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you forget we alive?
What you forget we gone die?
Aye man someone lied to you
One, two, three, four, five
Are those your thoughts in your mind?
How long we been in this line?
And what the fuck are waiting for?
Look around they took the future
And they ain't make a sound
Now we gather round
Stuck in the computers
What happened to the soul?
They brought war to the spirit
Hid it beneath us
It's living beneath us
Feel it rising up?
Up, up to that conscious
They hid it beneath us
It lived underneath us
Feel it rising up?
Break out!
Break out!
Break out!
Break out!
The lyrics to Zeds Dead's song "Break In" appear to illustrate a sense of powerlessness in the face of an omnipotent force. In the beginning of the lyrics, the singer seems to be under the observation of an entity, and may have been abducted from his or her former life. The bleeding and dreams, coupled with their desire to escape, suggests a traumatic event. A repeating motif in the lyrics is "Why do you try to be God?". This may represent the entity or force that is holding them captive. The singer seems to be struggling to comprehend the power and authority of this entity, and is left feeling powerless and blinded by its power.
The lyrics also detail a slow breakdown of the singer's physical and mental state. They are losing track of time and trapped in a state of decay, urged to fight or die. The phrase "Or breakdown" suggests a slow and inevitable decline towards death. The final stanza of the lyrics implies that there is no hope left for the singer; the body is starving and leaving nothing behind except for scars, which may represent a metaphorical or physical marking of the trauma suffered at the entity's hand.
In summary, the lyrics of "Break In" illustrate a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness, and trauma in the face of an omnipotent entity.
