Break Away "Michael's Theme"
Break Away, also known as "Michael's Theme," is a song about Michael. It was composed by Andrew Allanson, with a vocal performance by Mika Maruyama. The lyrics were written by Niko Tsakalakos. Its motif is heard throughout the YIIK Soundtrack, such as Creepy Evening. Andrew made the song right before making Little Eyes.[1] The lyrics were referenced in I.V's intro sequence, as well as a teaser for I.V.
One way to interpret the song is that it's from the perspective of Michael from Alex's original reality. The "you" mentioned could be Alex's sister, Allison. After a breakup of sorts, Michael has a desire to reconnect but is unable to, as they have left the reality.
It plays as the Overworld theme for Chapter 2, and is the only overworld song that doesn't say as such in the title.
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
I took a picture of you And then I tore it in two The ink bled right through my bare hands You ruined all of my plans I liked that picture of you Liked every color and hue The different shades in the background Are moments lost ever found? I’ll miss that picture of you There’s nothing more I can do And now I’m standing here waiting While the colors are fading Away Far away I’ll break out of here Away Break away I will disappear I don’t know how I don’t know where I don’t know if I’m on track Or when I’m returning Or if I’ll ever be back Away Far away I’ll break out of here Away Break away To some other sphere I don’t know how I don’t know where I don’t know if I’m on track Or when I’m returning Or if I’ll be coming back Away Far away I’ll break out of here Away Break away I will disappear I don’t know how I don’t know where I don’t know if I’m on track Or when I’m returning Or if I’ll ever be back Away Far away I’ll break out of here
