“I’m Breaking Out” roars to life with an explosive opening that never quite lets the listener go, guiding a cutting-edge intensity that’s both atmospheric and deeply impassioned. There’s a thrilling recklessness to how the track moves, powered by distortion-soaked guitar and a relentless modern rock pulse that begs to be played loud. It’s abrasive in all the right ways, but never hollow, every blast of noise feels purposeful and alive.
"I'm Breaking Out" draws on that frustration with contemporary cycles and rituals that bind us in patterns we’re desperate to break free from. This sense of emotional and mental claustrophobia, terrified you’re trapped inside your own skin, that you’ll be there forever, is mirrored perfectly in the music itself, which sounds like it’s constantly pushing outward, smashing through ceilings in search of release. The result is a thrilling, invigorating listen that feels cathartic rather than chaotic.
Singer Jamie Hall layers deep emotional depth into the song, noting that it comes from the pain of trying to navigate someone else's emotions, like unfamiliar water, and piecing together the idea that we’re finally okay with ceasing our attempts to break through something fake that won’t crumble. That beat of self-allowance elsewhere provides the track with its emotional centre, rooting the clamorous sound in sincerity.
