Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Come breathe with me
Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game, I'll test ya
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you're the victim
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale

Keith 180 degrees from his stage persona.
A really gentle nice guy who lived a quite rural life when not working

When you can get the Metal Heads, Techno Freaks, Goths , Punks, Alt Rock Crowd, and general Mainstream all on the dance floor; You know you've written a masterpiece. This track blew our collective mind in the 90's. RIP Keith Flint. You will NOT be forgotten.
