He had three more albums land on the Billboard 200 by the end of the next decade, including his fourth full-length, 2002's Daylight. Featuring intricate production and multiple overdubs, it was co-produced with frequent Madonna collaborator Patrick Leonard. After scoring his first feature-length film, 2004's A Home at the End of the World, Sheik's career turned toward Broadway with the success of 2006's Spring Awakening, a hit rock musical. It won him the Tony for Best Original Score as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album, both with lyricist Steven Sater. Sheik continued to juggle adult-alternative albums, film scores, and musical theater in the years to follow, issuing his eighth solo album, the ranging, over-hour-long Legerdemain, in 2015 and moving his musical American Psycho to Broadway in 2016. For that show, Sheik served as composer, lyricist, and orchestrator. Following off-Broadway excursions including 2019's The Secret Life of Bees, he issued the studio album Claptrap in 2022. It sought out a more positive state of mind.

Born in Montclair, New Jersey, in 1969, Duncan Sheik grew up in South Carolina but spent many of his early years staying with his grandparents in New Jersey. Inspired to play the piano while there, he later switched to electric guitar and performed in bands throughout high school. A fan of musical theater from a young age, he also acted in school plays and attended the occasional Broadway show with his mother. While studying at Brown University, he played in a band with Lisa Loeb but began shopping his own demo tape soon after graduation. After moving to Los Angeles, he appeared with His Boy Elroy on a 1993 album for Epic, and spent several years writing songs before he signed a solo deal with Atlantic.

Atlantic released his debut album, the Rupert Hine-produced Duncan Sheik, in mid-1996, with the single "Barely Breathing" following later in the year. The song reached number 16 on the Hot 100, and after another single, "Reasons for Living," appeared on the soundtrack to the hit TV show ER in late 1996, the debut peaked at number 83 on the Billboard 200. Also produced with Hine, the follow-up, Humming, arrived on Atlantic in 1998 and reached number 163.

Nonesuch issued 2001's self-produced Phantom Moon, a more orchestral collaboration between Sheik and poet/playwright/lyricist Steven Sater, who provided its lyrics. It featured appearances by the London Session Orchestra and guitarist Bill Frisell. Though it failed to reach the Billboard 200, Sheik returned to the chart with his fourth album, 2002's Daylight, which reached number 110. It would be his final release with Atlantic. In 2002, Sheik also composed music for a New York Shakespeare Festival's production of Twelfth Night.

Continuing to split his focus between songwriting and composition, Sheik wrote the film score for the 2004 romantic drama A Home at the End of the World as well as music for the 2005 documentary Through the Fire. He offered up his fifth studio LP, While Limousine, on the Zoë label in 2006. Its insightful lyrics didn't shy away from sociopolitical territory. In the meantime, he had collaborated with Sater on a rock musical based on the 19th century German play Spring Awakening, a story concerned with teenaged sexuality. With a book and lyrics by Sater and music by Sheik, Spring Awakening opened off-Broadway in May 2006 before moving to Broadway's Eugene O'Neill Theatre in December of that year. The show ran for over two years and took home eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. The Decca-issued cast album won a Grammy for Sheik and Sater.

Sheik composed the scores for projects including the Mary Stuart Masterson-directed film The Cake Eaters (2007) and the animated TV movie Little Spirit: Christmas in New York (2008) before presenting his next pop album, 2009's Whisper House. Featuring several duets with Holly Brook (Skylar Grey), the RCA Victor release spent a week at the number 181 spot on the Billboard 200. He scored the movie dramas Dare (2009) and Harvest (2010), then returned in 2011 with the covers album Covers 80s, which included backing vocals by Rachael Yamagata and Brook. Covers 80s Remixed appeared in 2012.

Next up for Sheik was a musical adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho featuring a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and music, lyrics, and orchestrations all by Sheik. It opened in London in 2013. He released another solo album, a song cycle titled Legerdemain (2015), and premiered the musical thriller Noir (2015) at Vassar College before American Psycho had its Broadway premiere in March 2016. The original London cast recording arrived on Concord Records the same month. Based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, another Sheik-Sater musical collaboration, Alice by Heart, opened off-Broadway in early 2019. The original cast recording was released by Ghostlight later in the year. 2019 also saw the off-Broadway opening of the musical The Secret Life of Bees, featuring music by Sheik and lyrics by Tony nominee Susan Birkenhead (Working, Jelly's Last Jam).

His first concert album, Live at the Cafe Carlyle, followed on Sneaky Studios/Missing Piece in late 2020. Compiled from a week of shows in October 2017, its set list spanned "Barely Breathing," songs from Spring Awakening, and previously unreleased covers of Radiohead and Tom Petty. An HBO documentary about the 15th anniversary concert of the hit musical, Spring Awakening: Those You've Known, premiered in May 2022 and was followed in June by Claptrap, Sheik's first solo studio album in seven years. It arrived on the New York-based Antifragile Music label.

Barely Breathing
Duncan Sheik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me goin', wishing on a star
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must've been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious

If you have to ask me why I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay

And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
Nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

I've come to find I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don't come and go

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

And I know what you're doin'
I see it all too clear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Duncan Sheik’s song “Barely Breathing” capture post-breakup pain and confusion. The singer is dissecting a failed relationship with a person he still has feelings for but is gradually realizing that it is time to move on. The opening lines suggest that the singer has woken up to the reality that his lover has played him, and he can no longer ignore the signs. The saline in the tears and the weight of the black holes that surround her symbolize the pain and weight of her emotional baggage, which she continually burdens him with. The singer laments the fact that he had invested his emotions in her confusion and torn her state of mind, hoping to take her out of it. But instead, he is left with nothing to examine, leaving him no choice but to say goodbye.

The chorus of the song captures the singer's mental state as he tries to deal with the pain of rejection amid his hope that his lover will come back to him. He is barely breathing and struggling to find air and is only imagining that she cares for him. The lyrics also convey the futility of this desire to keep holding on to a lost cause because the singer admits that he might be a fool waiting for another day, but his heart is not willing to let go, making him willing to pay the price. The bridge highlights the singer's confusion about his ex-lover's motivations and the mix of emotions that come with the thought of her presence in his life. The final verse ends on a somber note as the singer resigns himself to the reality that he may never know what his ex-lover truly wanted and whether she was a friend or foe, acknowledging that every time she comes and goes, he is left feeling uncertain and emotionally drained.

Line by Line Meaning

I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I understand your actions and intentions very easily and it's crystal clear to me

I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
The only time I experience something real from you is when I wipe away your tears

You really had me goin', wishing on a star
You had me completely fooled and naive, I was hoping for a miracle

The black holes that surround you are heavier by far
The negative and toxic influences around you weigh you down immensely

I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
I trusted that you were struggling and unsure, because you seemed completely lost

It must've been that yesterday was the day that I was born
I must have been so foolish and naive to trust you, feeling like I was just born yesterday

There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
There's not much substance left to you, and no secrets or emotions that are hidden

You really can't be serious
I can't believe you're being sincere or genuine

If you have to ask me why I say goodbye
You should already know why I'm breaking up with you, if you have to ask then you really don't understand at all

'Cause I am barely breathing And I can't find the air Don't know who I'm kidding Imagining you care And I could stand here waiting A fool for another day I don't suppose it's worth the price You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
I am struggling to keep going, and I feel like you don't care about me. I'm willing to keep waiting for you even though it would make me a fool, although I'm not sure if it's worth it. Despite this, you're worth everything to me and I would pay any price for you

And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?" I used to be so certain and I can't figure out What is this attraction? I only feel the pain Nothing left to reason and only you to blame Will it ever change?
Everyone is asking me what's happening, and I used to be so sure of things but now I don't understand anymore. I don't know why I'm attracted to you when all it brings me is pain, and I can't rationalize anything anymore, and I place all the blame on you. Will anything ever change?

But I'm thinking it over anyway I'm thinking it over anyway
Despite the confusion, I'm still trying to think through everything and figure out what I should do

I've come to find I may never know Your changing mind, is it friend or foe? I rise above or sink below With every time you come and go Please don't come and go
I've come to the realization that I may never understand your constantly changing mind, whether it's working for me or against me. Every time you appear or disappear from my life, I feel myself either soaring or plummeting, and I don't know if I could handle any more of this instability

Come and go

90s music is what I grew up on. This, grunge, punk, anything on the local rock stations. But then I discovered Pantera. And Slayer. And Sepultura. And Lamb of God.

But still, I'll listen to the songs that remind me of when times were so much simpler, and this is one that I'll crank up in the car.

exactly my observation as well. 90's was my era and the songs during that time had a lot of impact in my psyche while i'm growing up. it was the late 90's when I discovered older era songs from the starting from the 50's and there were really good tunes and the song writing is superb as well.

Your post is refreshing. I too feel the same way and have for a long time now. Good music is good music no matter when or where it's found. Though the music of my youth is generally my favorite (at least my favorite to revisit it now and again) I've found great music in many decades. I did think earlier today that I am stuck in "English" music though. At least as far as language and geneology. I love me some classic Handell and Behothven as much as I love Green Day, Tonic, Stone Ponys, Sade, Nanci Griffith & Bob Mould.

The best songs grab you after a few listens. But, it's a rare one that grabs you the very first time. They usually have an often repeated hook--either a sung or melodic part--that have you singing along with it by the end. This is one of those. I also liked and remembered it from the very first time. (Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald/G Lightfoot proves it can be done with no singing required in the hook).

This song helped me through a narcissistic abuse situation. This played on the radio when I was thinking about the future of my so called "relationship" with someone who "really had me going, wishing on a star". But the black holes that surrounded them were, indeed, heavier by far. But I was thinking it over anyway. Because I wanted to believe or imagine they really did care about me the way they pretended to. Despite all the ways they emotionally abused me. But this song helped seal my decision. I have no regrets. Because I, too, didn't suppose it was worth the price that I would pay had I continued. It wasn't worth the one I already paid. I feel a lot better now... still a lot of healing to do but it's a step up from where I was✌

The 90's has my heart. It's still stuck there. If I could build a time machine, I would go back and live there forever. Best memories, to the best music of that decade... miss it so much......

@karenandrews4362

I know what you mean...my youth. Can't get it back but for a few minutes I feel 18 again.

How does this song not have more views?!?!? I'm disappointed in society, I heard this song on the radio the other day and unlocked a core memory from my childhood <3

I'm a hard rock and heavy metal guy through and through. But I play drums and feel music in a different way, I think? Anyway this song is just perfectly written and sung. This song will always be a favorite of mine, and just can't really explain it. Music just triggers people in different ways, and this is a gem!!

Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
And worth the price, the price that I would pay... 🎶🎶🎶🎶 ❤️

Dear Heavenly Father please take me back to the 90’s when I was in high school when this song came out. I don’t care if there was some one hit wonders just dear lord take everyone on here who positively commented on this Duncan Shiek song and video back to the 90’s for at least a week. The best era ever.

@Evelatina88

Amazing song! Nice memories

@Evelatina88

Great video, too! Pretty laid back ... can I claim to be back in that week in the 90's now?

Don't know why but suddenly this song popped into my head. It's crazy how songs can do that. I miss childhood.

I was born in 1990.. I listened to 90’s rock, basically music from the 90’s period.. I wonder how was the 90’s or 2000-2006 as an 18 yr old and above cuz music during this time, the lyrics were mostly innocent and about love and so were the movies

@thepawchoe2749

The 90s really painted a different picture of the people that truly sought to love. We had piercings, tattoos, music talent for days, chip on our shoulders, but damn did we love. We loved fiercely and no one will ever disuade me of that.

@@kevinbell1364 Then be more secure in your sexuality, you sound very 1996. Fitting for the song :) Duncan's handsome, no biggie to say that as a man

@kevinbell1364

mark janssens not going to open this can of worms. I will say that I am ok with being a “knuckle dragging, stereotype of a overcompensating tough guy”
