“Breaking Out” starts out describing my life as a child.

It was a time when I was carefree and spoiled, but this made things more difficult for me later in life.

I was the youngest of 5, hence the “Motley Crew”. I was also immature, and of course very shy.

I worked full time to get through college and had a few close friends that loved cars, going to parties, and hanging out at the beach. I was under a lot of stress during this time and had profusely bad migraines that required some heavy-duty medications to get me though, hence “The Migraines that left their mark”.

It was a fight between my dad and brother that changed the course of my life. “Gave me my Spark”. I was not the model student, but this event made me think about where I did not want to go with life.

For the rest of the song, I wanted to inspire everyone to “Break Out” of their every day life and follow what you love to do. It is up to us to make the change and it will definitely not happen sitting around waiting for it to happen. Life events and people will cross our path and it is up to us to take advantage of these situations to make the most of them. Nothing is easy, so it will take a lot of hard work and time to accomplish what you want to do. It’s OK to take a break when you get discouraged - but get back on it as soon as you can, and don’t lose sight of your goals. Nothing is impossible to do!
