Breathe In Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you knew the risk
now here's the outcome
now it doesn't seem like a game
to save your face you lost a friend
now your ego's still bruised
and you haven't a shoulder to cry on
how many times did you know this would come?
you're the only one playing the game and you lost.




Overall Meaning

These lyrics seem to be directed towards a person who took a risk and ended up losing a friend due to their actions. The lyrics suggest that the person knew the risk associated with their actions but went ahead anyway. As a result, they not only lost their friend but are also dealing with a bruised ego. The lyrics highlight the fact that the person was playing a game and ended up losing, but now it doesn't seem like a game anymore. The person is left with no one to turn to for comfort or support, with no shoulder to cry on.


What we can infer from the lyrics is that the person was probably selfish and only thought about themselves while taking the risk. They didn't consider the impact their actions could have on others, such as their friend. And now, they are experiencing the consequences of their actions. The lyrics suggest that the person has no one but themselves to blame for the situation they find themselves in.


In summary, the lyrics highlight the importance of considering the consequences of our actions and how they will impact those around us. They also suggest that it's important to consider whether the risks we take are worth losing the people we care about.
