Ya Ya Breathe
Bruno Pernadas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I go
Wondering about
And you know, how bad can it be?
And you know, how bad can it be?
'Cause sometimes I die
Thinking of you and me
But you don't see it
Far as I know
Down

And I don't care if you die tomorrow
And it's your last goal
Never had guessed 'cause you're always so far
And it seems like you're building a time trap
On your own

Sometimes I go
Wondering about
And you know, how bad as can be
And you know, how bad can it be?
'Cause sometimes I die
Thinking of you and me
But you don't see it
Far as I know
Down

And you can go into the sea
And you can go and walk and say
What have I done to myself
|: If you collapse it's all the same:|

Long ago, long ago...

YA YA BREATHE II

What am I doing here, said the young man to the sacred bull
I travelled so far to get here, and yet I still don't know why
I must have done something wrong in the pathway
That's not the face I was hopping to see, that's not it
That's not my loved one Said the young man to the sacred bull
They were singing a song, a lullaby

Long ago, long ago

I don't belong here
This is not my place on earth, he said
Follow the white line, and you shall find the golden path
Said the sacred bull to the young man
Follow the golden path, and you shall find what you're looking for
But that's not the song they 've been searching for
That's not the sound
That's not the loved one

Long ago...

I met a guy
Who talked talks so loud
He thinks he's great
He think's he's hot
And I don't mind
I don't care
I don't mind
I don't care whatever happens
And who knows what could happen
Who cares?

I know a guy
That used to cry
Who used to say things like
You won't die, as long as I'm around
As long as I'm around

You ain't telling me
I met a guy
Who talks so loud
He thinks he's great
He think's he's hot
And I don't mind
I don't care
I don't mind
I don't care whatever happens




And who knows what could happen
Who cares?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bruno Pernadas' song "Ya Ya Breathe" are reflective of the singer's thoughts and emotions as he contemplates life and relationships with others. The opening lines show a sense of introspection and questioning about the nature of existence, and wondering about what could go wrong. He also ponders the extent to which the object of his thoughts is able to see or understand his own pain and struggles.


However, the chorus seems to indicate a shift towards indifference and apathy, in which the singer claims not to care if the other person dies or not. He also suggests that the other person is complicit in their own situation, as they have built a "time trap" for themselves. The final lines, with the lyrics "If you collapse it's all the same," speak to the singer's own sense of futility and hopelessness about the situation.


The second half of the song features a spoken word interlude about a young man's encounter with a sacred bull. The young man seeks answers and meaning, but is disappointed to find that the bull does not provide the answers he was hoping for. The bull instead advises him to follow a golden path, but the young man is uncertain about what he may find at the end of the journey.
