Original members Kyle Even and David Schmitt started the project in 2007, they didn't anticipate that their “just for fun” intent would explode into an internationally sought-after duo within just a couple of years. The story of Breathe Carolina is a modern day music fairytale, about two friends who recorded tracks on Mac program GarageBand at home in Denver, Colorado, put them on to MySpace and rapidly gained a huge online following.
The duo's self-released debut EP Gossip hit iTunes in 2007, and after a phenomenal response, they released their debut album "It’s Classy, Not Classic" in 2008. The album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #186. Their genre-clashing blend of crowd-pleasing pop, rock and electronica was a hit, and no longer confined to the bedroom – Breathe Carolina were a global force ready to be heard.
After signing with Fearless Records in 2009, their album Hello Fascination took their music to a bigger, brighter and more blistering dimension. Recorded with the stellar production team of Mike Green (Paramore, The Higher, Set Your Goals) and Matt Squire (Taking Back Sunday, 3OH!3, Panic At The Disco), their sound became re-defined with the addition of live instruments and hooky pop choruses. The album debuted at #43 on the Billboard Top 200, at #5 on the Independent Chart and #2 on the Electronic Chart. The title track “Hello Fascination” was featured on MTV’s The City and received placement on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. It even became the featured track on NBC’s The Jay Leno Show promos.
The duo followed up their second UK headline tour of the year with a whole summer on Vans Warped Tour 2010, followed by a direct support slot to Mayday Parade on the Fearless Friends Tour in Fall 2010.
2011 has been quite the year for the band, as "Blackout"'s steady ascension up the Top 40 single chart, embraced by fans across the nation as their new party anthem, has made them one of the only independent acts taking on the pop goliaths at Top 40. 'Hell Is What You Make It' debuted at #2 on the Billboard Electronic Chart, with The NY Times calling the album "one of the best pure pop albums of the year". A performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, main playlist rotation across all MTV networks for video "Blackout" and an Artist Of The Week slot on MTV's PUSH program fueled the genre-blending duo's success story.
Starting out in a bedroom in the suburbs of the Mile High City, Breathe Carolina was one of the first bands to start making waves via social networks. They truly came into their own on Fearless Records-released sophomore full-length Hello Fascination. A step to a brave next level, the album entered the Billboard Top 200 at #43, and went on to sell over 60,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Their juxtaposition of hardcore guts and pop glory found a happy niche between both rock and pop fans, the album's title track landing placements on the promos for NBC's Jay Leno Show, 30 Rock and Monday Night Football, MTV's The Hills and The City.
With national radio dates with fellow Top 40 acts including Flo-Rida, Selena Gomez, Kreayshawn, Hot Chelle Rae, Cobra Starship and The Fray sees the band ending 2011 on an all time high.
Bury Me
Breathe Carolina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I skip to self coma, push back around of the, taste of your breath
Fuck repercussions, that don't mean shit to me
It's always focused right, right where it needs to be
They say I'm a sinner, tonight I'm just a thief
Hold your heart for ransom, away with me
Bury me in concrete to my teeth (away with me)
Bury me, bury me, bury me
Bury me in concrete to my teeth
I'll need you, every sleep to you, upon your dreams
No love when you wake up for God no longer, come on and love
Not repercussions, they never think of me
It's always focused right, right where it needs to be
They say I'm a sinner, tonight I'm just a thief
Hold your heart for ransom, away with me
It turns out she's a killer
Bury me in concrete to my teeth (away with me)
Bury me, bury me, bury me
Bury me in concrete to my teeth
I don't wanna be tied down
Not surprised, I'm buried alive
I'm dead for all you know
You don't wanna be alone
When you open your eyes and I'm alive
You should have never left me breathing
They say I'm a sinner, tonight I'm just a thief
Hold your heart for ransom, away with me
It turns out she's a killer
Bury me in concrete to my teeth (away with me)
Bury me, bury me, bury me
Bury me in concrete to my teeth

The lyrics mention the singer's desire to be buried in concrete up to their teeth, alluding to the idea of being bound and immovable. The opening lyrics talk about how their heart rate remains even, even in their sleep and dreams because they are so content with the idea of being completely devoted to their love. They talk about pushing back the taste of their lover's breath, which could mean that their lover has left them or that they are trying to forget about them.
The second verse talks about how the singer is always focused on their love, and nothing else matters to them. They don't care about the consequences of their actions because they only have one goal in mind - to be with their love. The lyrics also mention how they would be willing to steal to get what they want. The chorus repeats the idea of being buried in concrete up to their teeth, which suggests that the singer feels trapped and helpless without their love. The bridge talks about how the singer doesn't want to be tied down, but they also don't want to be alone. They mention being buried alive, which could symbolize their feeling of being trapped in their love. The song ends with the singer saying that their love should never have left them breathing.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bury Me" by Breathe Carolina explore the idea of unrequited love, and how it can cause someone to feel trapped and powerless. The singer is willing to do anything to be with their love, even if it means giving up their own freedom and sense of self.
