Lyrics
Listen up
Expressing a call to attention
Don't you think that it's been long enough
Suggesting that a period of waiting has been lengthy
Locked away, yes we learned our lesson
Referring to a past experience of confinement and the acquisition of knowledge
Take a stand, got a plan
Encouraging taking a proactive stance with a devised strategy
Now we make our great escape
Emphasizing the commencement of a liberating action
And it's too late to stop us now
Asserting an unstoppable momentum
Cause we can taste a life without
Conveying a sense of anticipation for a life free from constraints
All of the chains they made us wear
Reflecting on past restrictions imposed on individuals
It's you and I breaking out of here
Highlighting a partnership breaking free
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
Repetition for emphasis on the liberation theme
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
-Make it different, make it now
Advocating for change in the present moment
I'm a serpent, I'm a hound
Symbolic references to being clever and persistent
I been pulling all the strings from inside
Metaphorical expression of influence over one's destiny
They can try and hold me down
Defiance against attempts to restrain
Never know when I'll disappear
Hinting at unpredictability and potential disappearance
Cause it's too late to stop me now
Reiterating an unstoppable force
I know the taste of life without
Personal recognition of the freedom and its taste
All of the chains they made us wear
Recalling past constraints with a partner
It's you and I breaking out of here
Reaffirming a collaborative escape
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of breaking free
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
-Too late to stop us now
Declaring the inevitability of their freedom
We taste a life without
Enjoying the experience of freedom
All of the chains we wore
Reflecting on past constraints collectively
Our life before
Remembering a previous way of life
A life worth breaking out
Affirming the value of the current liberated existence
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
Repetition for a final emphasis on breaking free
Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-Uh oh, Uh oh, U-uh Oh
-We're breaking out of here
