Breath of Life
Florence the Machine Lyrics

Ha oh
An expression of feeling or emotion.

I was looking for a breath of life
Searching for rejuvenation or inspiration.

A little touch of heavenly light
Seeking a spiritual or divine intervention.

But all the choirs in my head sang no
Doubts and fears that hinder progress.

To get a dream of life again
To hope and aspire for a better future.

A little vision of the start and the end
Clarity of purpose and direction.

But all the choirs in my head sang no
Self-doubt and anxiety that prevent growth.

But I only needed one more touch
A little push to move forward.

Another taste of heavenly rush
Enlightenment or spiritual awakening.

And I believe, I believe it so
Faith in oneself and in life.

Whose side am I on, whose side am I?
Questioning oneself and their priorities.

And the fever began to spread
An overwhelming feeling of excitement or anxiety.

From my heart down to my legs
Physical sensations accompanying an emotional experience.

But the room was so quiet oh
An eerie and unsettling silence in one's surroundings.

And although I wasn't losing my mind
Retaining one's sanity in the face of uncertainty.

It was a chorus so sublime
A beautiful and captivating experience.

But the room is too quiet (oh, the fever)
A contrast between the inner and outer world.

Ha oh
An expression of feeling or emotion.

It's a harder way
The path ahead is challenging.

And it's come to claim her
The struggle is a personal one.

And I always say
A personal conviction or belief.

We should be together
The need for support and companionship.

I can see below
Having a deeper insight or understanding.

'Cause there's something in here
Intuition or inner voice guiding one's decisions.

And if you are gone
The fear of solitude and abandonment.

I will not belong here
The importance of connection and belonging.

And I started to hear it again
The recurrence of past experiences or emotions.

But this time it wasn't the end
A sense of hope and redemption.

And the room was so quiet, oh
A peaceful and serene environment.

And my heart is a hollow plain
An emotional emptiness or void.

For the devil to dance again
An inner struggle with one's negative thoughts and impulses.

And the room was too quiet, oh
An introspective and reflective space.

I was looking for a breath of life
The search for purpose and meaning in life.

A little touch of heavenly light
The need for inspiration and guidance.

But all the choirs in my head sang no (I believe it)
The inner conflict between doubt and faith.
