Breaking the Law
Rebellion Echoes: Unveiling the Frustration in 'Breaking the Law'
Lyrics
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
Feeling useless, unemployed, and depressed
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Experiencing frustration while aimlessly moving from place to place
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
Sense of being unimportant to others' concerns for life or death
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Considering taking drastic actions to bring excitement or change to life
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Repeated chorus emphasizing the act of breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-So much for the golden future, I can't even start
Disillusionment with prospects of a successful future
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
Feeling betrayed by unfulfilled promises leading to inner anger
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
Asserting that others cannot comprehend the situation
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
Belief that if others understood, they might also break the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Reiteration of the chorus emphasizing the act of breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-You don't know what it's like
Reiteration of the assertion that others lack understanding
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Repetition of the chorus emphasizing the act of breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law, breaking the law
-Breaking the law
Final emphasis on the act of breaking the law
