Breathe
BRENNAN SAVAGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't see things the way I do
I waste time the way I worry about you
You can′t lie 'cuz I can tell when you do
Tell me what you want from me, my girl
Hurry baby, I don't wanna let you down
I can take you anywhere you want in the world
Everybody loves to see me down
Now I'm getting money, hoes coming around
I spend my money but I′m making it back
Want to step inside a building, burn shit to the ground
Tell me if you feel unsafe
'Cuz I will be there no matter where you stay
And I will die for you no matter what you say
′Cuz you're the one for me, no you′re the one for me
The one for me, you're the one for me
One for me, you're the one for me
I can′t breathe through the smoke in my lungs
You can′t see things the way I do
I waste time the way I worry about you
You can't lie ′cuz I can tell when you do
Tell me what you want from me, my girl
Hurry baby, I don't wanna let you down
I can take you anywhere you want in the world
I′ve come so far can't look back now
Everybody loves to see me down
Now I′m getting money, hoes coming around
I spend my money but I'm making it back
Want to step inside a building, burn shit to the ground
In "Breathe," Brennan Savage explores a feeling of suffocation, both physical and emotional. The lyrics express his struggle to breathe through the smoke in his lungs, which could allude to addiction or anxiety. He contrasts his perspective with the inability of the person he addresses to see things in the same way, highlighting a sense of isolation and disconnection. The song portrays his affection and his willingness to go to extreme lengths for his partner, even if it puts him at risk. This behavior seems to be partly motivated by his desire to please her, or not disappoint her, as he repeats "Hurry baby, I don't wanna let you down."
Savage reflects on the rampant negativity he faces from his surroundings, referring to people who "love to see me down." Despite this, he mentions his financial success and how it affects his social life. He expresses the idea of redemption and the possibility of turning his past into something meaningful. However, the song concludes on a violent note, with the lyric "Want to step inside a building, burn shit to the ground," suggesting that even after all this, Savage can still feel like lashing out.

I love peep as much as the next guy. I got his posters on my wall. But let him rest. This is Brennan's song. Let Brennan shine. Pay attention to how well this song was written and performed. To everyone saying that they sound similar, it's because they were always close btw. They lived together, they were childhood friends, and they were in this music shit together. Amazing music as always. 💙💙💙✨
@shiz104
Evan Johnson Brennan carrying on peeps legacy❤️
@x.xtrusted3179
Right tbh I love peep but Brennan's writing is so much more unique and all the guitar is him peep didn't play any instruments
@warptic808s5
nothingtosay 1994 yeah but the lyrics is what connects with the audience not if you can play instruments
@x.xtrusted3179
Warptic 808s true but would you really wanna listen to spoken word by lil peep or therefore any other rapper don't get me wrong being a talented lyricist is very important but don't think for a minute that people aren't caught loving a song or artist for their instrumentals
@Taylor-cu2dh
Evan Johnson thank you so much for saying this I’ve always thought that ❤️
