The Lyrics Of Beyoncé‘s ‘Break My Soul’ Decoded
The lyrics of the song ‘Break My Soul‘ are, “Release your anger, release your mind/ Release your job, release the time/ Release your trade, release the stress/ Release the love, forget the rest.” The writing credits go to Jay-Z, Adam Pigott, Freddie Ross, and the writers of Robin S’s 1993 hit ‘Show Me Love‘ which is prominently sampled in the song.
While Bey is intended to deliver a message with both her return and the disco theme of the song, the title is about declaring “You won’t break my soul,” loud and clear.
It’s filled with lines like “Motivation/ I’m looking for a new foundation/ I’m on that new vibration/ I’m building my own foundation.” Beyoncé further sings, “I’m gonna find new drive/ damn, they work me so damn hard/ Work by nine, then off past five/And they work my nerves, that’s why I cannot sleep at night,” adding “I just quit my job.” To this, fans started wondering about the anti-work anthem.
