Break Even Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People grow forgetting everything
To fast to succeed, to fast to impress, what a sad world we live
And if only I listened, and if only I learned
If only this night could be more than a memory, than a memory...
If only this night could be more!
What a mad world we live in
To fast to succeed, to fast to impress, what a mad world we live
And if only I listened, and if only I learned
If only this night could be more than a memory, than a memory...
TAKE ME AWAY to where the world wont find me.
TAKE ME AWAY to where the world wont "change" me.
TAKE ME AWAY to where the world wont find me.
TAKE ME AWAY to where the world wont "save" me.
TAKE ME AWAY.
A dreamer, is all I am.
A dreamer, is all I am.
A dreamer, is all I am.
A dreamer, a dreamer.
The lyrics of Break Even's song Dreamer depict the fast-paced and often unforgiving world we live in where people are driven to succeed and impress quickly. The world is painted as one where people grow up too quickly and forget everything in the process. The singer expresses regret for not having listened and learned more and wishes that the night and its memories could be more than just that. The repetition of "If only" highlights the sense of longing and loss.
The second stanza of the song introduces the idea that the world is not just sad but also mad. The themes of success and impressing others are repeated, indicating their overwhelming presence in society. In the chorus, the singer pleads to be taken away to somewhere the world won't find them and change or save them, indicating a desire for escape from the pressures of the world. The repeated phrase "A dreamer, is all I am" is a poignant reminder that the singer's dreams may be all they have left.
Overall, the lyrics of Dreamer convey a sense of disillusionment with the world and a longing for escape. The repetition of phrases and themes underscores the depth of these emotions, while the use of imagery such as the night's memories and the mad world add a layer of complexity to the expression of these emotions.
