Forrest Frank - Break Dreaming Lyrics
Lyrics
Help...
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
Oh can you help me I've been down for way too long
All my problems seem to hold me at the moment
But I don't wanna change my mind
There's so many things I'll find
Yeah I don't wanna change my mind
There's too many things I'll find
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
I just need a break can you please come help me
Turn off my mind
Tell my mama Imma make it
Try giving more than takin'
Never really liked waitin'
But I'm workin' on my patience
On god I be feeling like a child
On ma haven't seen it in a while
No lie thought I'd never be on my own
Thought I'd never be on my own but
I'm finally dreamin' again (Mm-mm)
I'm finally dreamin' that I'm near your ocean
I'm finally dreamin' again (Mm-mm)
Every night I can breathe in my mind (Mm-mm) Yeah
I'm finally dreamin' again (Mm-mm)
I'm finally dreamin' that I'm In your ocean
I'm finally dreamin' again (Mm-mm)
Now every night I can breathe in my mind (Mm-mm)
Every night I can breathe in my mind (Mmm)
Da dun dum du dum du dum dum

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on August 21, 2020, Forrest Frank's "Break Dreaming" immediately strikes with an urgent, raw honesty that speaks to the deepest human need for rest and mental peace. The song opens with a repetitive, almost pleading refrain, "I just need a break can you please come help me turn off my mind," a sentiment that perfectly articulates the overwhelming exhaustion many feel in our fast-paced world. This isn't just a desire for physical respite; it's a profound cry for spiritual and mental quiet, a longing for relief from the incessant anxieties and burdens that weigh us down. It’s a prayer whispered in the dark, reminiscent of the psalmist's plea, "My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word" (Psalm 119:28). The repetition itself underscores the intensity of this weariness, painting a vivid picture of a mind desperate to find stillness amidst the noise of life.
The narrative deepens as the voice shares, "Oh can you help me I've been down for way too long / All my problems seem to hold me at the moment." This acknowledges a prolonged period of struggle, a feeling of being ensnared by life's difficulties. Yet, even in this vulnerable admission, there's a powerful undercurrent of resilience: "But I don't wanna change my mind / There's so many things I'll find." This isn't a surrender to despair; it's a declaration of enduring hope, a refusal to abandon the pursuit of growth and discovery, even when the path is clouded. It mirrors the spirit of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The unwavering resolve to keep searching, to keep growing, signifies a deep trust that beyond the current struggles, there is something profound waiting to be revealed.
This journey from weariness to resolute hope is further cemented as the song transitions into a more reflective and proactive stance. The lines "Tell my mama Imma make it / Try giving more than takin' / Never really liked waitin' / But I'm workin' on my patience" reveal a commitment to personal growth and a shift in perspective. It speaks to the universal desire for purpose and the conscious effort to align one's actions with a higher calling, striving to be a giver rather than just a receiver. The acknowledgement of working on patience is particularly poignant, reflecting the spiritual discipline required to trust in God's timing, knowing that "the testing of your faith produces perseverance" (James 1:3). The vulnerability returns with "On God I be feeling like a child," which can be interpreted as a humble recognition of our dependence, a willingness to come before a higher power with the innocence and need of a child, trusting in a Father who knows our needs even before we ask.
The profound turning point, the heart of "Break Dreaming," arrives with the triumphant declaration, "I'm finally dreamin' again... I'm finally dreamin' that I'm near your ocean / Every night I can breathe in my mind." This transformation is nothing short of miraculous, a testament to finding peace and renewal. The "ocean" here serves as a powerful metaphor for God's boundless presence, His infinite grace, and the vastness of His peace that washes over a troubled soul. To be "near your ocean" signifies a deep communion, a spiritual refuge where the mind can finally rest and breathe freely. This state of profound tranquility, where the mind is no longer a battleground but a place of rest, directly echoes the promise of Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." The ability to dream again is not merely about sleep; it's about the restoration of hope, vision, and purpose, a resurrection of the spirit that had been dormant under the weight of worries. It's the promise of Isaiah 43:19, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." "Break Dreaming" ultimately offers a compelling narrative of human struggle met with divine solace, encouraging us all to seek that transformative peace that allows us to not just endure, but to truly breathe and dream again in the embrace of God's limitless ocean.
