Exhale
Dano Feehan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Are you hoping that it rains today?
Knowin there ain't nothin that can put the flame out...
Well are you struggling to be okay? (HEY!)
When there is no resolve it can be defeating
Constantly playing tricks on your mind
You think you're falling apart but it's still beating...
You need to take it one breath at a time
And we'll count the ways you can leave this place (ohh)
Leading with the one - breathe
Two will be - space
Take it all in man it's just another day (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE
Falling into three, thinking is an easy mistake
Let me your mind ease from the million little things (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE
Do you feel it coming or is it deceiving?
Can you even find the words to say?
Stressing every time you wanna meet your friends out
It doesn't always have to be this way (HEY!)
If they don't understand it's a constant issue...
Isolated to the confines of your head
When you just wanna relate and they're tryna fix you
You need to find a new outlet instead
And we'll count the ways you can leave this place (ohh)
Leading with the one - breathe
Two will be - space
Take it all in this is just another day (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE (you just gotta exhale)
Falling into three, thinking is an easy mistake
Let me your mind ease from the million little things (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE (you just gotta exhale)
Don't let it stop you now from being what you wanna be
Holding you back like security, open the doors that you couldn't see
And anytime you feel locked up inside just remember you've got the key
So many ways you can find relief, starting with you but you've gotta breathe...
Leading with the one - breathe
Two will be - space
Take it all in this is just another day (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE (you just gotta exhale)
Falling into three, thinking is an easy mistake
Let me your mind ease from the million little things (ohh)
Then you just gotta EXHALE (you just gotta exhale)
The lyrics of "Exhale" by Dano Feehan delve into the struggles and challenges of dealing with inner turmoil and external pressures. The opening lines ask thought-provoking questions about the emotional state of the listener - whether their heart is racing, if they are yearning for relief, and if they are battling to maintain composure. The lyrics touch upon the feeling of being overwhelmed and feeling like one is barely holding it together despite the constant chaos in their mind. The call to take things one breath at a time serves as a reminder to focus on the present moment and take things slowly.
The repetitive mention of counting ways to leave a difficult situation seems to symbolize finding different perspectives or solutions to problems. Through focusing on breathing and creating space for oneself, the song emphasizes the importance of self-care and mental well-being. The act of exhaling is portrayed as a cathartic release, a way to let go of uncertainties and anxieties. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it is essential to step back, relax, and allow ourselves to exhale in order to find clarity and peace.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle of feeling misunderstood or isolated when seeking connection with others. The desire to relate to friends juxtaposed with their efforts to fix or change us leads to a sense of displacement. The message conveyed is one of advocating for finding new outlets and means of self-expression, rather than relying on external validation or understanding. Through honest self-reflection and self-acceptance, one can break free from constraints and embrace their true selves.
In the final verses, the song encourages listeners to not let obstacles hinder them from pursuing their aspirations. The imagery of unlocking doors and discovering inner strength suggests empowerment and liberation. The lyrics emphasize the importance of taking charge of one's own well-being and finding solace in the midst of life's challenges. Ultimately, "Exhale" serves as a poignant reminder to prioritize self-care, stay grounded in the present, and persevere through hardships with resilience and a deep breath.

This music makes me feel so mamy emotions, such deep emotions, good ones and I want to dance to this but also breath it in (which is ironic).
This truly brought tears to my eyes and made me feel stronger
