Breathe
Crossbreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everthing just be a certain way to let me see common sense, would tell me that
the cancers eating right through me and failed tests, would tell me
that my life's in jeopardy
Why can't I breathe one more time
My last, chance at life was spent trying to burn the world with you I guess,
it's easier with three people trying to kill me
Why can't I breathe one more time So I can breathe again just breathe
fallen down so low it burns me it's tim to change the scene faith is one way to
relieve me you built this up so help me breathe
So I can breathe again why can't I breathe one more time
You're paralyzed I can't breathe
Why can't I breathe One more time
These lyrics by Crossbreed in their song Breathe portray a sense of desperation and despair for the singer who is struggling to breathe due to the challenges he has experienced in life. He talks about how his last chance at sex was simple enough to let him breathe, but everything else seems to be so complex that it is suffocating him. He wishes that things were easy so that he could see common sense and do the right thing. However, the cancer that is eating away at him and the failed tests that indicate his life is in jeopardy are constant reminders of his mortality.
The singer’s last chance at life was spent trying to burn the world with someone else, perhaps to numb the pain he was feeling. However, this only made matters worse for him, and he found himself in a situation where three people were trying to kill him. He wonders why he can't breathe one more time, perhaps to relive a moment where he felt alive, and begs to be given another chance to breathe.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asks why the singer can't breathe one more time. He acknowledges that he has fallen so low that the pain is almost unbearable and recognizes that it is time for him to change the scene. He understands that faith is one way to relieve his pain and asks for help to breathe again.
The lyrics show a deep-seated desire for the singer to feel alive and breathe once again. They highlight the struggles of people going through difficult times and the importance of hope and faith in getting through them.
