Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success as result of it. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything and their style reflected that.

Breakaway Lyrics
Candlebox
Who was it set you off today?
Always someone wants to take a bow
So you leave it now where you left it off
And then I watch you carry it all
Sometimes well slip, fall, fade
Well fuck it all up
Leaing this town well all go
Who was it set you up today?
Always someone wish to pull it off
So theyll pick it up where we let it fall
And then well watch them stumble alone
Sometimes we whine to fine-tune our own souls
Leaving this town its too slow
In all ways in 2 days
Gotta breakaway now from this town
Gotta breakaway now from it all
Gotta breakaway now and soar high
Never gonna come down
Who was it let you down today?
Always someone who takes it over all
So well leave em out and break free from the fault
And then well watch them learn to crawl
In time theyll slip, fall, fade
Theyll fuck it all up
Were leaving this town well let them go
In all ways for 2 days
Gotta breakaway now from this town
Gotta breakaway now from it all
Gotta breakaway now and soar high
Never gonna come down
Leave me alone, you want to drag off my cigarette
Find your own, life, it never made promises
In my face again, you know you were never meant
No time for fucking arrogance
Gotta breakaway now from this town
