After releasing their first full album Welcome to the Fall in 2005, they were able to attract major label support from Universal Records. However, plans fell through and they ended up releasing their second album, Panoramic, independently on March 15, 2009.

The band formed back in 2001 and played locally in Arizona for their first few years. Their first formal release of music was in 2003 with the Fik'shen EP. The release had five tracks; the first three tracks, "Overflow", "Makeshift", and "Sudden Change", would later be reworked and re-recorded later for their first LP, Welcome to the Fall, in 2005. The other two tracks, "Bruised and Break" and "Dissolved", had a different, softer sound than the majority of the rest of their work, and were never reworked. Additionally, the track "Interlude to Addiction", from Welcome to the Fall, is also on the EP, but as an intro to "Makeshift" rather than a separate track by itself.
While the band toured some in 2009 in support of the album, they disbanded amicably in 2010.

Deep Breath
32 Leaves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, you can ride for free
Come along with me
You know you're always on my mind
They wouldn't understand, but
That was half the plan

A room filled with candle light
Sex in disguise

Lay
Lay next to me

Taste what you make
Then hold me next to none.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 32 Leaves's song "Deep Breath" describe a secret relationship between two individuals. The singer invites their lover to join them, and although they may face judgement from others, it doesn't matter as they cannot help but think about their partner. The second verse utilizes sensual imagery to describe the physical intimacy between the two individuals. The candles and disguises add an element of secrecy and excitement to the encounter. The final lines suggest a desire for emotional connection and the need to be held by the other person.

The lyrics paint a picture of a forbidden love, a relationship that must be kept behind closed doors. The idea of not being understood suggests that the relationship may be outside of societal norms. However, the singer implies that they take pleasure in keeping the relationship hidden. The song is about indulging in the temptation of a hidden love and feeling alive in the moment.
