A powerful anthem about empowerment and self-worth, 'Breaking Free' explores the liberating feeling of leaving a toxic environment and refusing to conform to societal standards. This song embodies the strength it takes to stand up against peer pressure, embrace one's individuality, and rise above the judgments of others.
Verse 1:
I was lost in the shadows, chasing their light,
Trying to fit in, but it never felt right.
They painted their picture, I could never be,
Who they wanted, oh, it was never me.
Pre-Chorus:
But now I see, I'm breaking free,
From chains that bind, it’s my time to be,
No more tears, no more doubt,
I'm stepping out, gonna take a bow.
Chorus:
I'm done with their rules, I’m rewriting my story,
Don’t need their approval, I’ll embrace my glory.
They can hate all they want, they don’t define me,
I’m standing tall now, I’m finally free.
Verse 2:
I won’t wear their mask, or dance to their tune,
I’m shining my light, like a bright full moon.
Their whispers don’t faze me, I’m taking a stand,
With every step forward, I reclaim my plan.
Pre-Chorus:
And now I see, I’m breaking free,
The weight of their judgment, I’ve set it free,
No more fears, no more ties,
I’m writing my truth with open eyes.
Chorus:
I'm done with their rules, I’m rewriting my story,
Don’t need their approval, I’ll embrace my glory.
They can hate all they want, they don’t define me,
I’m standing tall now, I’m finally free.
Bridge:
So watch me rise, watch me soar,
No longer trapped behind their door.
I’ll walk my path, and I’ll shine so bright,
I’m the author of my life, I’ll win this fight.
Chorus:
I'm done with their rules, I’m rewriting my story,
Don’t need their approval, I’ll embrace my glory.
They can hate all they want, they don’t define me,
I’m standing tall now, I’m finally free.
Outro:
Breaking free, I'm just me,
No apologies, just let me be.
In a world of my own, I’ll make my mark,
Leaving behind their shadows, I'm igniting the spark.

The song is about leaving a toxic environment, a clique, and not being worthy enough of being in that clique or knowing someone popular because you refuse to conform to their standards or follow their rules, and not caring that they hate you because of that.
