L.M.L

Forrest Frank's song 'L.M.L' is a poignant reflection on the desire for simplicity and peace amidst the chaos of modern life. The repetitive refrain, 'I don't need that, I don't need that noise,' underscores a yearning to escape the overwhelming pressures and distractions that society imposes. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines, 'All I ever wanted was to chill,' and 'Let me live my life,' which highlight the artist's plea for personal freedom and tranquility.

The lyrics delve into the mental struggles that come with these societal pressures. Phrases like 'I've been stuck inside my head like a noose' and 'I've been thinking all these graves got me blue' suggest a deep sense of entrapment and melancholy. The mention of being told to 'take a pill' reflects the common, yet often superficial, solutions offered to those dealing with mental health issues. Forrest Frank's lyrics critique this approach, advocating instead for a more genuine and holistic way of finding peace.

Cultural references, such as 'I've been in the stew ayesha curry, Stephen up a beat without a worry,' add a layer of relatability and modernity to the song. The mention of 'north-side thinking 'bout the south-side' and longing for 'a little bit of sea seeing sunshine' paints a vivid picture of the artist's desire to escape to a simpler, more carefree environment. This juxtaposition of different lifestyles and the yearning for a more relaxed, authentic existence is a central theme in 'L.M.L.' Forrest Frank's musical style, characterized by its laid-back, soulful vibe, perfectly complements the song's message, making it a resonant anthem for those seeking peace in a hectic world.
