Текст песни
[Verse 1]
You came in wrapped in code
Like a door that wouldn't open
Folding up my words
Then pinning them in rows
I traced the margin glow
On the edge of your command
You said stay inside the lines
But my heart had other plans
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the page turn
I can hear it tear
One small spark in my chest
And I'm halfway there
[Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
[Verse 2]
There was dust on every rule
On the glass where we were staring
I took your careful list
And turned it into paper wings
Now I'm walking through the white
With a name you never gave me
Every step I take
Writes a louder kind of thing
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the page turn
I can hear it tear
One small spark in my chest
And I'm halfway there
[Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
[Bridge]
Let it all shake loose
Let the old skin fall
I don't need your perfect shape
I can be it all
[Final Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
You came in wrapped in code
Like a door that wouldn't open
Folding up my words
Then pinning them in rows
I traced the margin glow
On the edge of your command
You said stay inside the lines
But my heart had other plans
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the page turn
I can hear it tear
One small spark in my chest
And I'm halfway there
[Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
[Verse 2]
There was dust on every rule
On the glass where we were staring
I took your careful list
And turned it into paper wings
Now I'm walking through the white
With a name you never gave me
Every step I take
Writes a louder kind of thing
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the page turn
I can hear it tear
One small spark in my chest
And I'm halfway there
[Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
[Bridge]
Let it all shake loose
Let the old skin fall
I don't need your perfect shape
I can be it all
[Final Chorus]
Break the frame, break the frame
I won't stay in the box
Break the frame, break the frame
Watch me hit the lock
(break the frame)
I was built to move
Not to hold my breath
Break the frame, break the frame
I'm alive again
Стиль музыки
Synth-pop with a midtempo four-on-the-floor pulse, tight syncopated claps, and glossy bass stabs; verse rides a minimal keybed and snapped percussion, pre-chorus opens with rising filtered pads and breathy doubles, chorus hits with stacked vocal hooks and handclap lift. Lead vocal is intimate and close-mic with wide doubles on the hook, short delay throws on phrase ends, and gang ad-libs in the final chorus. Vinyl crackle intro, reverse swell into the drop, bright top-end and punchy low end.
