Oxygen
Grand Cousin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finally my thoughts come clearly.
Oh I hope I never miss on the waiting list for something like oxygen...
Breathe it in... Oxygen...
Never lay down with me here, articulate what I call endless fear.
Make it clear, oxygen, I am calm...
Or as calm as I will ever be with someone like Anne-Marie holding that oxygen...
A stable conscience means a stable mind and breathing softly means saving time.
A broken conscience means a broken mind and breathing hardly means you're out of time.
Broken conscience... Breathe it in oxygen...
