Always pushing forward and reinventing themselves, Another Breath are back to turn heads with their newest release, "The God Complex" recently released on Panic Records.
Writing music from the heart and mixing harmony with heaviness, Another Breath is a band built on more than hype, they are a group of friends doing what they love to do, together, through the highs and lows.

Mayflower
Whiskey

Former AB/Mayflower drummer Steve Port now plays drums and tours full time with Minneapolis punk band Off With Their Heads. Scott Gillard (ex-guitarist) plays in NY pop punk band Mayflower and Philadelphia punk/rock band Highlites. Other ex-guitarist Jon Davis plays/played in a folk/alt-country trio called Whiskey with two members of Engineer, as well as a Hot Snakes-influenced rock band called Night Owls (with ex-Spark Lights The Friction member Grant Johnson).

Nausea
Another Breath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleeping all day just to pass the time
With the humming of the stereo to keep me company.
Nothing I need that I can't buy
Nothing left for me to do but die.
I've got it. The Filth. The Nausea.
Too much. Too much. Too much is not enough.
Too much. Too much. I'm fucking nauseous.
I've got everything. I need to suffer.
I hear a train in the distance
I feel my eyes start to well
I want to give in to this beautiful depression
And ride it straight to hell.
Now I've got the Filth. I've got the Nausea
Now I've got the Filth. I've got the Nausea
I need more than something.
I've gotta make this go away.
I need to suffer.
The lyrics of Another Breath's song "Nausea" depict a person who is alive but feels dead inside as they spend their days sleeping and numbing their senses with music. The individual has all they need materially, but they feel a sense of disgust and pointless existence, referred to as "The Filth" and "The Nausea." They crave something more than what they have, something that will help them suffer and make them feel real again.
The train in the distance could represent a symbol for a desirable escape from their current state of being. They feel drawn to the idea of giving in to their depression and going straight to hell. The repeated chorus of "Too much is not enough" and "I'm fucking nauseous" emphasizes their need for more significant physical or emotional pain to feel alive. They are left with the conclusion that they need to suffer more, and nothing in their current life is satisfactory enough.
The song's lyrics describe a feeling of awareness and longing for something authentic and real, even if it is painful. The individual in the song is self-destructive, caught in the cycle of needing to suffer to feel alive. The lyrics speak to the human struggle for purpose and meaning in life, as well as the desire to feel alive.
