Take my Breath away
GroundCulture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade away
Can you imagine how it feels at the bottom?
Tell me if it seems too deep
Remind me why we came here
Tell me if you're losing sleep
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade away
Helpless hearts
Can you find a home here in the dark
Hold your tongue
Keep your oxygen for saving someone
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade away
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up in the middle
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up in the middle
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up in the middle
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up in the middle
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade
Take my breath away
As if a shadow fills my lungs
I'll suffocate then watch it all just fade away
I'm a level ahead of ya
I'll never really wanna tell ya that I messed up
The lyrics in GroundCulture's "Take My Breath Away" explore the feeling of suffocation and helplessness in a time of struggle. The singer refers to a shadow filling their lungs, causing them to suffocate and watch everything fade away. Through this description of physical and emotional struggle, the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and desperation.
The singer then asks if the feeling of being at rock bottom is too much to bear, and questions the reason for being in that position. They seek reassurance, perhaps from another person or from within themselves, that there is a way out of this suffocating situation.
The chorus, repeating the line "take my breath away," represents a longing to escape from the weight of whatever is causing the suffocation. The lyrics suggest that even in this extremely difficult moment, the singer is still thinking of others and encouraging them to save their own oxygen for someone who might need it more.
The repetition of the phrase "I'm a level ahead of ya" could be interpreted as a form of self-encouragement or motivation to push through the challenges and struggles. Ultimately, the song portrays a sense of emotional and physical suffocation, but also seeks some kind of hope for a way out.

I love it! This automatically made my day better!
Favourite part is that addictive chorus, which as well gives me Linkin Park vibe along with the bridge!
It's like a mix of hardcore,metalcore and nu metal.
