The first sample is the fearful scream of pain from a baby elephant.
This is also what this song is about. The cruel practices of animal taming - solely for human amusement. There are lots of documentarys about this subject on the internet, I strongly suggest watching one (or reading about it). Boycott all forms of animal abuse! Including circuses and animal tourism industry.
The last sample is the live recording from Tyke (a former cicrus elephant)'s last few minutes/seconds... After 20 years of captivity she finally managed to escape from her tormentors during one of the degrading demonstrations we call "circus". For about 30minutes, free for the first time ever, she ran for her live ...just to be eventually struck down by 86 shots.
This does not have to happen. You can decide to make a difference.
lyrics
They kept you chained for your whole life, there’s nothing you could do
They set your track right from the start no matter what you choose
That you feel despair and weak and small is all they wanted to
But, give up the fight man – And you will loose
So, you gotta break free from the chains that always held you back
And you gotta break out of your life to loose this fucking track
Break Free - Take Your Life Back
You got to break free from the chains - break free from your life
Break free from everything around and get what you fucking deserve!
