Breathe Again
Bender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With a heavy hand the days of reckoning arrive
Salvation on the floor reveals a tortured ego slide
So I lift my head across the sky
I'm drowning
Stabbed with a cross his blood flows leaves a warning sign
Temptation at the door I feel a change is coming around
Lift me up, don't let mirrors hide trapped doors
You lift me high on the piece of your heart
To breathe again, to breathe again
Open doors will you shine
Your mind in war your body seizing everything
Strangles me to the point of our eternity, rise
Lift me up, don't let mirrors hide trapped doors
You lift me high on the piece of your heart
To breathe again, to breathe again
Open doors will you shine
Come and go
Shades on the grass and we all found
The cover-up, I killed it man, I killed it
I had to man, I had to
Let it go we're a second apart to breathe again, so breathe again
Open doors and you'll shine like a flame
Oh you shine, shine like life




Oh you shine, shine like life
Oh you shine, shine like life

Overall Meaning

In Bender's song "Breathe Again," the singer explores themes of struggle, salvation, and redemption. The song opens with the arrival of the "days of reckoning," suggesting that the singer has been struggling with personal demons for some time. The line "Salvation on the floor reveals a tortured ego slide" suggests that the singer has hit rock bottom, and perhaps feels that they have no way out. They are drowning, both literally and figuratively, and the weight of their suffering is crushing them.


Despite this, the singer sees hope on the horizon. They are inspired by someone, perhaps a lover or a friend, who lifts them up and helps them see a way out of their despair. However, the road to redemption is not without its challenges. The line "Temptation at the door I feel a change is coming around" suggests that the singer is still facing hurdles and obstacles that threaten to derail their progress.


As the song progresses, the singer asks their savior to continue to lift them up, to help them "breathe again." They ask for open doors and the chance to shine, to be reborn and to find new life. The chorus repeats the phrase "to breathe again" as a reminder of the importance of renewal and rebirth, even in the face of great hardship.


Overall, "Breathe Again" is a powerful anthem of hope and redemption. It acknowledges the pain and suffering that can come with struggling through personal demons, but also offers the possibility of renewal and new life through the love and support of others.

Услышал эту группу на саундтреке "3000 миль до грейсленда", вещь, не понимаю почему какоето г вроде линкин парка или металики популярно а это нет. Очевидно кто глубже лижет того и продвигают...
