Arena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bolt the door, put out the light
The clock just stopped, time goes slow
Listen to my voice on the telephone
Fine prayers, sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again
Half heard screams in the night
The man's down deep 'cause he died of fright
There's a dog bite - Flash light
Throw him in the room with the clues and the dynamite
Fine prayers sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again
You saw! You saw!
A figure in the fog with razor claws
You saw! You saw!
A devil in the dark, we've met before
Fine prayers, sweet dreams
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
You're not the only one
To look me in the eyes again
Half seen shadows in the night
Burning hands and tortured sight
All the children of the storm are waiting
Half seen shadows in the night
Blood red rooms and fire light
All the children of the storm are waiting
And as you stand glued to the line
Your heart just stopped
And now you're mine!
Don't run away
The lyrics of Arena's song Breathe reflect upon the theme of fear and anxiety. The song is about the darkness and the unknown that humans fear. The half-heard cries and screams in the night create a sense of suspense and tension. The singer tells the listener to bolt the door and put out the lights because they fear the darkness. The clock is slow, time is stagnant, and everything seems to be standing still, creating an atmosphere of fear.
The singer seems to add a sense of comfort in these situations as they tell the listener to remember to breathe, for they are not alone. The line "You're not the only one to look me in the eyes again" suggests that they might have experienced fear themselves. The mention of a man dying of fright and clues with dynamite creates an impression of an unfolding mystery or horror story.
The chorus provides a sense that the fear experienced by the character is real. The figure in the fog with razor claws or the devil in the dark might represent terrifying, otherworldly beings or might symbolize the fears that reside within. The burning hands and tortured sight suggest a nightmare scenario. However, the children of the storm waiting within the blood-red rooms and fire light set a tone of acceptance and resilience, almost as if fear is now becoming a part of the character.
Overall, the song Breathe by Arena provides insight into the human psyche and how fear manifests itself. It speaks of the unknown that humans fear and how it has been a part of our evolution for survival.

Half heard cries in the night
Faint sounds of distress heard during the night
Bolt the door, put out the light
Secure the entrance and turn off the lights for safety
The clock just stopped, time goes slow
Time seems to be moving slowly due to the unusual situation
Listen to my voice on the telephone
Pay attention to what I'm saying on the phone for guidance
Fine prayers, sweet dreams
Wishing for peaceful rest and positive outcomes
Don't forget to breathe, my friend
Remember to take deep breaths to calm yourself
You're not the only one
Others have faced similar challenges
To look me in the eyes again
Encounter the same difficulties again
The man's down deep 'cause he died of fright
The man is paralyzed with fear
There's a dog bite - Flash light
An injury caused by a dog is revealed with a flashlight
Throw him in the room with the clues and the dynamite
Place him in a dangerous situation to test his abilities
You saw! You saw!
An exclamation of shock and recognition
A figure in the fog with razor claws
A menacing figure with sharp weapons in the mist
A devil in the dark, we've met before
An evil entity encountered in the past
Half seen shadows in the night
Dimly visible figures in the darkness
Burning hands and tortured sight
Sensation of burning and agony in the eyes
All the children of the storm are waiting
Everyone affected by the conflict is anticipating the outcome
Blood red rooms and fire light
Rooms illuminated with red light and fire
And as you stand glued to the line
You're stuck and unable to move
Your heart just stopped
Your heart rate has suddenly slowed or stopped
And now you're mine!
Now I have complete control over you
Don't run away
Don't flee from the situation, face it head-on
