Break Away Lyrics
Now I'm free to do what I want to do
Why change the part of me that has to be free
The love that passed me by, I found no reason why
That passed me by and that is why
I can breakaway from that lonely life
And I can do what I want to do
And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new
Telling me now hey it's only a dream
The more I thought of it I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)
Where the shackles never hold me down
I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
As my life turns around
Now won't you come on (when you breakaway)
You're free to breakaways (breakaway)
Come on you're free to breakaway (breakaway)
Now won't you come on (breakaway)
You're free to breakaways (breakaway)
Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakaway
I love this song just as it is! It's also really sad but I love it and cry at the same time!
This song is actually about how crazy Brian Wilson was back in the day.
Note:
When I layed down on my bed I heard voices in my head Telling me now "Hey it's only a dream" The more I thought of it I had been out of it And here's the answer I found instead
Found out it was in my head
It's about when he found out that he had a mental illness. Luckily, he improved and that's what the song is about. That and his wife and other groovy vibrations that Mr. Wilson likes to throw around.
Just wanted to post my agreement. Also, you wrote a nice comment.

Reggie Dunbar, credited as a co-writer, was actually Murry Wilson, Brian's dad.
I think this song is about graduating from High School. And kinda the end of something. I love it.

Oh how I wish this song had the polished sound and production quality of their records from their "golden era" (61-66), because if it had, it would be one of their greatest singles. It doesn't matter what kind of trouble or pain or bad stuff the singer is breaking away from, it fits them all. Such a meaningful song for many, it overcomes its ragged quality to a degree, but isn't one of the Beach Boys 'best of the best' because of it. (They should have re-made it in the late 80's or early 90's, sigh).
