Breathless
Asking Alexandria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get the fuck away from me

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with conscience
I try to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that isn't me

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself
Yeah

I spend my days looking through pages
Trying to find a way to get away from me
With love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind
A way back inside my mind

This is not the end
This is the end of
This is the end of
This is the end of
This is not the end

Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret
Without remorse
I'm gone

You're better off to walk alone
I am corruption
I am Sin

Forget my name
Forget my face




Forget my name
Forget my face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Breathless" speak of the realization of one's own toxicity in a relationship and the struggle to find a way out. The repeated line of "I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse" showcases the singer's awareness of their actions, yet the lack of remorse suggests a struggle with changing their behavior. The singer acknowledges that they are on a self-destructive path, and despite wanting to change, they still feel lost and unable to break free from their toxic patterns.


The chorus, "I spend my days looking through pages, trying to find a way to get away from me, with love to give that leaves you breathless," suggests that the singer is desperately trying to find a way out of their destructive habits and seeks redemption. However, they understand that their partner would be better off without them and repeatedly implore them to "save yourself for a man that isn't me."


The final lines of the song, "Forget my name, forget my face," may be interpreted as a plea to the partner to move on and forget about the pain the singer caused them.


Overall, "Breathless" speaks of the difficulty of breaking free from toxic habits, the struggle with self-improvement, and the pain of realizing that one's actions have hurt others.

Get the fuck away from me!

I know that I have done wrong and continue to do so but without remorse
I know that I am on a fast track to the grave and I'm headed there alone
I struggle to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man with a conscience
I fight to find myself this time
Save yourself for a man that is not me

I spend my days looking through pages
Try to find a way, to get away from me
A love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind

I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you realize
I don't want to leave you breathless
When will you save yourself

I spend my days looking through pages
Try to find a way, to get away from me
A love to give that leaves you breathless
Now all I need to find, a way back inside my mind

I need to find
A way back inside my mind
I need to find
A way back inside my mind

This is not the end, it's not the end of
This is not the end, it's not the end of
This is not the end, it's not the end of
This is not the end

Every mistake I've made leaves a scar that burns every day
Yet still I carry on
Without regret without remorse I'm gone
You're better off to walk away
I am corruption, I am sin

Forget my name
