Break Stuff Lyrics

It's just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is fucked, everybody sucks.
You don't really know why
But you wanna justify rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away mother fucker!
It's just one of those days!

It's all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit lettin' shit slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
It's all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit talkin' that shit

It's just one of those days
Feelin' like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with a blood stain
Damn right I'm a maniac
You better watch your back
Cuz I'm fuckin' up your program
And if you're stuck up
You just lucked up
Next in line to get fucked up
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker!
It's just one of those days!

It's all about the he says she says bullshit.
I think you better quit lettin shit slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
It's all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit talkin that shit, punk
So come and get it

I feel like shit
My suggestion is to keep your distance
Cuz right now I'm dangerous
We've all felt like shit
And been treated like shit
All those motherfuckers, that want to step up

I hope ya know
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way
I just might break something tonight

I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way
I just might break something tonight

I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way
I just might break your fuckin' face tonight

Give me something to break
Give me something to break
Just give me somrthing to break
How 'bout your fuckin' face?

I hope you know I pack a chainsaw, what? A chainsaw, what?, a mutherfuckin' chainsaw, what?
So come and get it

It's all about the he says she says bullshit.
I think you better quit lettin shit slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
It's all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit talkin that shit
Punk, so come and get it




These lyrics are very representative of the target audience; young, angry and angsty males. The theme of the lyrics are, as relevant to the target audience, anger and violence. The lyrics may be vulgar and slangy in places, but by analysing the lyrics, you can tell that the song is about already being aggrivated, but then aggrivated further by another person until the point of anger, resulting in hostility and violence towards that person.
This theme caters to the angry, youthful audience who would be already aggitated by the stresses of life and frombeing disillusioned by society. The lyrics could refer to then being aggitated further, by maybe further stresses of life or maybe a bully or a boss to the point of anger where a person snaps and resorts to violence.

Some key lines that testify to this analysis are:

"It's just one of those days, when you don't wanna wake up, everything is fucked, everybody sucks." This emphasises the idea of already being aggitated.

"First one to complain, leaves with a blood stain." "I think you better quit lettin' shit slip,
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip." These two lines emphasise the idea that further aggitation can result in violence.

"We've all felt like shit and been treated like shit." This emphasises the idea of already being aggitated and being further aggitated.

"Give me something to break!" This line is presumably when agitation turns to anger and violence ensues, shown through the key word; "break".

Music DVD Cover Analysis & Music CD/DVD Advert Analysis

Magazine Advert Idea

The main concept of my magazine advert is a parody of the iconic cover of the Abbey Road album by The Beatles.


From analysing a few music CD and DVD adverts, I've found the following conventions:

• The adverts were all found in music magazines that cater to the genre of the album.
• An image of the product (DVD/CD) is shown in the advert.
• An image of the artist is shown in the advert, usually as the background.
• The artists name/logo is shown, being quite large as to emphasise to the reader who the product is by.
• The product title is shown, not as prominent as the artists name/logo, but more prominent than most of the other content in the advert.
• Include a brief summary of the products content and bonus content.
• Includes quotes from a few favourable reviews fom prestigious magazines of the products genre.
• Includes the icon and web address of a popular music retailer along the bottom of the advert.
• Includes the logo of the artists record label as well as both the label and the artists web address.

In my magazine advert, I will include a number of the aforementioned conventions. The background image of the advert will be a photo of the music video band cast crossing a zebra crossing as to mimic the iconic Abbey Road album cover, although the band will be carrying melee weapons, will bewalking across the road much more slouched and casual and the guitarist will be wearing his signature skull mask as to put the bands music genre of nu metal's own twist on the symbolic cover.

Location Report

Performance Segment:
Will be filmed on the college site in one of the larger music rooms in The Hack (Music Department).
Due to the value of equipment in the music room we have booked out to use for the filming, the college music department requires that any non-music student must be supervised by a member of staff from whatever college department that is in relation to our purpose for the music room. Since our purpose is to film a music video, Selena from the Media department will be supervising us and helping us during the filming of this segment.

Digi-Pak Idea

After analyzing the CD covers of Limp Bizkit's studio album discography, I have defined the conventions found between them (Can be found in the 'Limp Bizkit CD Covers' blog entry).
For my digi-pak, I am plannning on making a 6 panel product, which will have a similar structure to this 6 panel digi-pak;


The front panel
Will be a mugshot, with a solitary character stood against a striped measuring wall, holding a board (which in the tradition of mugshots, usually entails the criminals name, police stations location etc.) which has the bands name and CD title on it, aswell as the bands home town (as place of arrest). The bands name will be above the CD title and both will be in upper case simple font. The character will be dressed in black, in contrast to the white background of the measuring wall. The character will also have there face pixelated, as to hide their identity.
This first panel follows the following conventions found in other Limp Bizkit CD covers;

• The bands name is almost always above the CD title.
• In every CD cover of Limp Bizkits albums, there has near always been one solitary character who's face is masked in some way as the covers main focus point.
• The bands name has always either been in bold/lower case graffiti style font or simple lower case font.
• The CD title has nearly always been in simple lower case font.
• The cover background nearly always emphasises the covers character.
• The bands name and CD title are always located in either the middle or right of the cover.
• There is sometimes a contrast of colour between the background and either the character or cover text.

Another slight convention that should be mentioned, is that on Limp Bizkit's 'Results May Vary' album, although made unrecognizable by the shadows and green tint, is actually the face of the bands vocalist. So as to follow the same idea, the character on the cover of my digi-pak will be the bands vocalist who is seen in the music video.

The make-shift mugshot board that I will use for the front panel image will contain some mugshot board conventions and will entail the following;

POLICE DEPT DUVAL COUNTY FL
LIMP BIZKIT
CRIMINAL PROTECTION PROGRAM
12-14-10
7369432

POLICE DEPT DUVAL COUNTY FL : A reference to Limp Bizkit's home town Jacksonville.
LIMP BIZKIT : The bands name.
CRIMINAL PROTECTION PROGRAM : The CD title.
12-14-10 : An apparent arrest date, but is infact the CD's release date.
7369432 : A random ID number.

Mugshot Board Conventions:
-Location of place of arrest e.g. POLICE DPT TRAVIS COUNTY TX
-The Date of arrest e.g. Nov 3 1970/ 11-3-70
-ID number e.g. 7369432
-Height & Weight e.g. 5'8" 225lbs

This is an example of some of the things I want to do for the first panel, taking a photograph similar to this...


















...and pixelating the face like this.


I like to think that the title 'Criminal Protection Programme' is very fitting for such an image, giving a very ironic connotation.











Second Panel
This will be the next panel that is seen after the front panel is turned over. Much like the first panel, the second panel will be the blurred out mugshot, just this time it will be a sideways shot of the character.

Third Panel
This will be the panel that is on the other side of the first panel. It will, like the rest of the panels, have the striped measuring wall as its background. The panel will include a large image of the music video cast band posing for the camera.

Fourth Panel
This is the centre panel of the inside of the digipak and is the panel to the right of the third panel. Like the others, this panel will use the striped measuring wall as a background. This will be the panel that will suspend the CD, with its center a circular hub of teeth which grip the disc by its hole, effectively suspending the disk in the middle of the digi-pak, preventing the recording surface from being scratched.

Fifth Panel
This will be the panel on the other side of the second panel and is to the right of the fourth panel. This like all the others will use the striped measuring wall as a background. This panel will include a few images of stills taken from performance segment footage.

Sixth Panel

This will be the very back panel of the digi-pak, inbetween the First and Second Panels. Again, this panel will use the striped measuring wall as a background aswell as a guideline for the track listing of the album. This panel will also include studio, copyright data and other information.
