Break My Stride Lyrics
Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China
In a little rowboat to find you
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Didn't want no one to hold you
What does that mean?
And you said
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
You're on a roll and now you pray it'll last
The road beyond was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and you see your past
Is that the reason
Why you're running so fast?
And she said
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
(Never let another girl like you)
Work me over
(Never let another girl like you)
Drag me under
(If I meet another girl like you)
I will tell her
(Never want another girl like you)
Have to say
Oh
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
(Whoaaaaa)
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride
I'm running
And I won't touch ground
Oh no
I got to keep on moving
Meaning of Break My Stride
“Break My Stride” is a frantic, almost desperate anthem about unwavering determination and resisting emotional vulnerability. The lyrics paint a surreal dreamscape – sailing to China for someone who’s preoccupied with trivial concerns like laundry, highlighting a push and pull dynamic. Despite this distraction, the core message is one of fierce independence: “Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,” repeated relentlessly, signifies an absolute refusal to be held back or slowed down by love or connection. The narrator’s relentless forward motion, symbolized by running and never touching ground, embodies a desire for freedom and control. The inclusion of the cautionary interlude – "Never let another girl like you / Work me over / Drag me under" – reveals an underlying fear of being dominated, fueling the song's urgent energy and Matthew Wilder’s message of self-sufficiency in the face of potential heartbreak.
