The Lyrics Of I Will Not Break

While I agree with the sentiment that people are saying, “oh, this is another warrior/rise up song!” If you read and listen to the lyrics closely, it sounds like David is speaking from personal experience.

Why do I feel like a criminal? Why am I like this? There’s no way to hide this from anyone. I can’t believe that I could be so blind, I had to find it. Now, I am reminded of everything. I already know your name.

Especially the line, “I already contemplated suicide.”

This whole song I believe is David talking about his whole depression period and how he almost committed suicide. And the phrase I will not break is him saying that depression and suicidal thoughts can never bring me down. And that I will get revenge, or get through and push myself through it.

That’s my perspective on the lyrics. What do you guys think? And can you relate to this song on a personal level?
