About Breakaway

“All my life I wanted to fly, like the birds that you see way up in the sky,” it begins. “Making circles in the morning sun, flying high in the sky ‘till the day is done.” It’s some poetic imagery vocalist Sherine Abeyratne delivers, though it’s quickly dealt a blow: “I can’t break away!” comes the booming reality check from the back-up singers. Abeyratne then compares herself to a “child in his fantasy” who is “punching holes in the walls of reality”. .
