Hi,
"break free" usually means to get out of a traditional or montonous way of doing something.
i hope these examples will make it clear:

(1) Waking up at 7 AM, rushing to office by 8.30 AM, returning home at 11 PM, again waking up at 7 AM......" i wanna break free."
(2) I wanna break free from this world of selfish, greedy people and live life on my own terms.

"Break free" means "escape". You can take it either literally or metaphorically as you prefer.

Or listen to the song 'I want to break free' by the rock group Queen.
Anyone familiar with the associated video featuring cross-dressing band members will understand the context of wishing to break free from life as a dissatisified housewife!

Example lyric 'I want to break free from this life, you're so self-satisifed, I don't need you, I want to break free'
