Breathing
Chase & Status feat. Bo Saris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can try to figure out, yeah
You don't answer my questions
Instead you turn your head around
Suddenly you started crying
You took my hand and held me tight
I know words couldn't describe it
Oh, the way your tears start to refill your story
Makes me stop breathing
Feels like a spear cut through my heart
And made it stop beating
I just can't believe what I'm reading
She left a note and run away
Couldn't be more clear help was needed
But it didn't work to make her stay
I'll always offer you protection
No longer scared or be afraid
I see it's causing heavy bleeding
Your eyes keep speaking
Oh, the way your tears start to refill your story
Makes me stop breathing
Feels like a spear cut through my heart
And made it stop beating
Trust me, I'll drag you out of the dark, I'll pull it out of your heart
Whatever it may be
So listen please, you need a new start, let me be your guard
'Cause each time it hurts me
Oh, the way your tears start to refill your story
Makes me stop breathing
Feels like a spear cut through my heart
And made it stop beating
The song "Breathing" by Chase & Status feat. Bo Saris speaks of a person trying to understand and help another person who seems to be struggling with deep emotional pain. The song opens with the singer expressing his confusion over the other person's intentions, despite attempting to figure them out. The other person does not answer the questions asked, but instead turns away. Suddenly, the person starts crying, and the singer takes their hand, holding them tight. Though words cannot describe what is happening, the singer looks into the other person's eyes.
The chorus of the song is particularly emotional, with the singer describing how the other person's tears are refilling their story, so much so that it makes him stop breathing. He feels like a spear has cut through his heart and stopped it from beating. The song then takes a dark turn, with the singer finding a note from the other person who has run away. Even though it was clear help was needed, the attempt to make the other person stay was futile.
The singer then promises to offer protection to the other person, urging them not to be afraid or scared. The other person's eyes are speaking, and the singer feels the pain of each tear. The song ends with the singer promising to drag the other person out of the dark and urging them to listen for a new start.
Overall, the song is emotive, and the lyrics capture the sense of helplessness one feels when someone they care about is hurting. The individual in pain is depicted as someone who is struggling to communicate, and it is up to the singer to piece together their story.
