Breathe
Delilah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never let you see me stall
I can hate what you say and still smile
Only play on an open court
I am the ringleader of my own circle
Fall on my knees and i won't bleed
Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Drown me in silence and suddenly Im floating
I rip me apart with one look
Use my heart as a crutch for my ego
And hope that I never never fall in love
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
Use my heart and unravel it
My innocence is all gone
Torn apart and I cant handle it
My innocence is all gone
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
This wonderful punishment called life
These lyrics showcase the complexity of the singer's emotional and mental state. They demonstrate the internal struggle the singer has with maintaining a facade of strength and resiliency while experiencing inner turmoil and pain. The first two lines illustrate the singer's ability to mask their emotions and present themselves as composed and collected. However, as the lyrics continue, they reveal that this is just a coping mechanism.
The chorus "I can not breathe, let me be free from myself" is a powerful statement of feeling trapped within one's own thoughts and emotions. The singer longs to be free from the weight of their own mind and the struggles they face on a daily basis. The reference to drowning in silence and floating indicates that the singer finds peace in the absence of noise and exists in a state of inner conflict where they are at once tearing themselves apart and putting themselves back together.
These lyrics evoke an image of someone who is strong, yet vulnerable. They have been through a lot and are still standing, but the weight of their experiences is taking its toll. Delilah’s song “Breathe” speaks to anyone who's ever felt trapped in their own mind and unable to find a way out. These lyrics reveal that sometimes we are our own worst enemy, but they also show that we have the power to overcome our struggles if we can find the strength to let go and allow ourselves the freedom to just breathe.
