B.A.U. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If truth be told,
I'll tell you that you're lovesick,
I am sweet, so everybody takes a bite,
Dig in, I'm the catalyst of your demise.
Words are cheap so I'll sell you a line,
Like the way you acted that night,
Second best, is what, what you want then,
I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take your breath away.
Have you had, had your day?
Move close, and I'll push you away.
Play it safe,
For the sake of keeping some face,
Play it safe,
In the name of keeping your place.
Do what, what I tell you to,
With arms we'll carry this through,
Can't wait, can't wait to see you.
I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take, take, take.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's so true.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's the truth, it's the truth.
So true.
So true.
So true.
So true.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
Oh I only have eyes for you.
I've got you hanging on every word I say,
But that don't mean a thing,
And you love the way I take your breath away,
So I'll take, take, take.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's so true.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
It's the truth, it's the truth.
So true.
The lyrics of "Breath" by B.A.U. suggest a toxic relationship, where one person holds power over the other. The song opens with the line "it's worse, worse than you think," indicating that the situation is already dire. The singer then tells the other person that they are "lovesick" and that they are the "catalyst of [their] demise." The imagery of taking a bite and the use of the word "catalyst" suggests that the singer is intentionally causing harm to the other person.
The second verse continues with more manipulation, as the singer tells the other person to do what they say, with the promise that they will carry it through together. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer takes the other person's breath away, but that this is not necessarily a good thing. The final repetition of "I only have eyes for you" seems to underscore the idea that the singer is using their power over the other person for their own gain, regardless of any feelings they may have.
Overall, the song suggests a relationship that is unhealthy and potentially dangerous. The singer is in control and manipulating the other person's emotions for their own benefit, leading to a feeling of helplessness in the other person.
Line by Line Meaning
It's worse, worse than you think,
The situation is far more dire than you assume.
If truth be told,
To speak honestly.
I'll tell you that you're lovesick,
You are infatuated and unable to think clearly.
I am sweet, so everybody takes a bite,
My charming demeanor causes people to trust me easily.
Dig in, I'm the catalyst of your demise.
By involving yourself with me, you are setting yourself up for failure.
Words are cheap so I'll sell you a line,
I'll manipulate you with empty promises.
Like the way you acted that night,
I'll use your past behavior to exploit you.
Second best, is what, what you want then,
You are willing to settle for mediocrity.
It won't cost that much, but me.
Despite my warning signs, you are willing to take the risk of being with me.
I've got you hanging on every word I say,
You are captivated by my words and actions.
But that don't mean a thing,
My control over you does not equate to genuine care or affection.
And you love the way I take your breath away,
You enjoy the intense emotional response I provoke in you.
So I'll take your breath away.
I'll continue to manipulate and exploit you.
Have you had, had your day?
Are you feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life?
Move close, and I'll push you away.
I'll lure you in only to reject you later.
Play it safe,
Avoid taking risks or making bold moves.
For the sake of keeping some face,
To avoid potentially embarrassing oneself or appearing foolish.
In the name of keeping your place.
To maintain one's current status or position in life.
Do what, what I tell you to,
You are obedient to my whims and orders.
With arms we'll carry this through,
We will work together to achieve our goals.
Can't wait, can't wait to see you.
I am eager to continue manipulating and exploiting you.
Oh I only have eyes for you,
I am fixated only on you (but not in a positive way).
It's so true.
My fixation on you is genuine but harmful.
It's the truth, it's the truth.
I am not lying about my obsession with you.
So true.
My fixation on you is harmful and I do not intend to change it.
I've got you hanging on every word I say,
I am still able to captivate and manipulate you.
But that don't mean a thing,
Despite my hold over you, I still do not genuinely care for you.
And you love the way I take your breath away,
Your infatuation with me has not diminished despite my harmful actions.
So I'll take, take, take.
I will continue to exploit and manipulate you for as long as possible.
