Breathing Salt
Eden Synthetic Corps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The air is killing me
My future's on the sea, underwater, salty eyes, lifeless krakens
I'll take the myth, unfolding my world
You can't handle the tide
You can't see through the waves now
Come with me and underwater we'll hide
Don't be afraid of the blue
Don't fight the feeling you have
Just let go, let go
???
Don't waste the hours you have
Just let go, let go
Breathing Salt by Eden Synthetic Corps is a song that speaks about the struggle to survive in a world where everything seems to be against you. The lyrics in the first paragraph are about drowning in the sea, which represents the struggles and difficulties that one can face in life. The reference to salty eyes and lifeless krakens shows how life can be debilitating and overwhelming, making it difficult to do even the simplest things. The refrain, "I'll die, the air is killing me, my future's on the sea," represents the feeling of being trapped and hopeless.
The second paragraph is about finding solace in our struggles. The singer invites the listener to join him and "underwater we'll hide," representing a place of refuge where we can escape the harshness of the world. The line "don't be afraid of the blue" suggests that we should not be afraid of our emotions and should instead embrace them. The invitation to "let go" is a call to surrender to our situation and to stop fighting. The line "don't waste the hours you have" suggests that life is precious, and we should not waste it on things that do not matter.
