Breathe Slow
Broken Back Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smiling just to stop
Tears from falling but
Please go let them drop
I know you are fighting
Since you were born
See how strong you became
See how strong all alone
When you're lost, faded soul and trust
Dancing demons in dust, watch them fall apart
When you don't know if you're strong enough to do so
Take my hand, real slow, watch them fall apart
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night
Don't let the cold night fall
Don't let the cold night fall
When you're lost, faded soul and trust
Dancing demons in dust, watch them fall apart
When you don't know if you're strong enough to do so
Take my hand, real slow, watch them fall apart
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night
Don't let the cold night fall
Don't let the cold night fall
Has power over you
Just what you gave power to
But I Hope we're stronger than that
I got to see her
Has power over you
Just what you gave power to
But I hope we're better than broken dreams
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Shadows on the wall 'cause
This small light glows
Don't let the cold night fall
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Breathe slow, breathe slow (Don't let the cold night fall)
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Breathe slow, breathe slow
The lyrics to Broken Back's song "Breathe Slow" appear to be a message of reassurance and support to someone who may be going through a difficult or trying time in their life. The opening lines acknowledge that the person being addressed is likely trying to put on a brave face or smile through their struggles in order to prevent tears from falling. However, the singer urges this person to let their emotions out and not be afraid to shed those tears.
The following lines speak directly to the strength and resilience that this person possesses, noting that they have been fighting since the day they were born and acknowledging the progress they have made on their own. The chorus repeats the phrase "breathe slow" and encourages the listener not to let the "cold night fall" - possibly a metaphor for succumbing to depression or despair.
The second verse speaks of "dancing demons in dust" and the struggle that the person is facing, but also offers a hand to hold onto in order to face those demons and watch them fall apart. The final lines of the song speak of the power that we give certain things in our lives - the power to hold us down or keep us strong - and the hope that we can be stronger than our broken dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you are
I can sense that you are
Smiling just to stop
You are smiling to keep yourself from
Tears from falling but
Allowing tears to flow
Please go let them drop
Would be helpful, even though difficult
I know you are fighting
I acknowledge that you're struggling
Since you were born
For your entire life
See how strong you became
Look at how resilient you are now
See how strong all alone
Despite being by yourself
When you're lost, faded soul and trust
In times of confusion, when you're feeling hopeless and lacking faith
Dancing demons in dust, watch them fall apart
When negative thoughts and emotions are overwhelming, observe them diminish
When you don't know if you're strong enough to do so
When you're not sure you are capable of managing
Take my hand, real slow, watch them fall apart
Let me help you navigate through it and witness your growth
Breathe slow, breathe slow
Take deep breaths
Shadows on the wall 'cause
It's dark around you
This small light glows
But there's still a light shining
Don't let the cold night
Don't let the difficult times
Don't let the cold night fall
Don't let the difficult times take over completely
Has power over you
Has control over you
Just what you gave power to
Only what you have allowed to have control
But I Hope we're stronger than that
But I believe in our ability to overcome
I got to see her
I had the chance to witness it
But I hope we're better than broken dreams
But let's strive for something more than shattered aspirations
