Breathe
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
(Repeat 1x)

I, breathe in deep
Sleep till the sunlight washes in
And the smell of skin throws light up into my face
I can breathe when you're near to me
I could dream when I see the sunlight on your face
And the touch of you throws light on the darkest place

I, breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
Breathe in deep

I can breathe when you're near to me




I can breathe when you're near to me
I can breathe...

Overall Meaning

The repetitive chorus of "breathe in deep" could potentially represent the singer's need to calm themselves down and focus on the present when they are near their partner. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer must actively remind themselves to inhale deeply, perhaps because their love for their partner is so overwhelming that it renders them breathless.


The verse itself is filled with vivid sensory descriptions, from the "sleep till the sunlight" that washes over the singer, to the "smell of skin" that fills the air. The idea that the "touch of you" can "throw light on the darkest place" speaks to the transformative power of love, how it can bring light and hope to even the darkest parts of a person's life.


Overall, the lyrics to "Breathe" paint a picture of a love that is all-consuming, overwhelming, and centering. The singer is constantly reminded to take a deep breath, to be present in the moment, and to fully embrace the transformative power of love and connection with their partner.
