The song "Break" by Three Days Grace is an example of Julius Caesar because it is similar to Mark Antony. The song talks about breaking away from people and doing what you want to do. Antony "breaks" away from the conspirators after promising that he will not only announce positive things about them to the plebeians at Caesar's funeral. But, he had broke away from them and broke away from his loyal and servant like self and betraying them by doing the exact opposite in a sneaky like way. He also gains the plebeians on his side and they also break away from following Brutus at first to going against him. So they "light up" Rome and start a war.
This song also is similar to Antony because, not only does he "break away" from the conspirators, but he also "breaks away" and takes himself to a "higher place". He gains a lot of power and is head of the war against the conspirators because he was sick of what they had done. After being depressed from Caesar's death, he had picked himself and went to something higher and began a war. So he "breaks away" and begins to gain power and doesn't stop the war until he had fully killed the conspirators.

"Break" by Three Days Grace lyrics:
Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop
I won't say I've had enough
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight I break away,
Break!
Away from everybody
Break!
Away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take, yourself to higher places
Oh oh
At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right
I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go
We're gonna light it up
Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away
