Breathin
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take way too much of my energy
I look up and the whole room's spinning
You take my cares away
I can so overcomplicate
People tell me to elevate
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try
But you tell me every time
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'
Sometimes it's hard to find
Find my way up into the clouds
Tune it out, it can be so loud
You remind me of a time when
Things weren't so complicated
All I need is to see your face
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
How do I know if this is fabricated?
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try
But you tell me every time
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah
My, my air
My, my air
My, my air, air
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin'
And breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
I keep on breathin'
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah
The song "Breathin" by KIDZ BOP Kids explores the idea of dealing with overwhelming situations and anxiety. The lyrics describe the singer feeling drained and their mind being out of control. They do not know what to do or how to cope. The song is about finding a way to manage these emotions and continue to move forward. The chorus encourages the singer to keep breathing, as it is an essential and often overlooked way to cope with anxiety. The overall message is that even when things are tough, it is important to continue to breathe and take things one step at a time, with the help of loved ones.
The first verse describes the singer feeling overwhelmed by their surroundings and the situations they are in. They feel like everything is spinning and they cannot handle it on their own. However, they have someone in their life who can help them feel better and take their cares away. Despite this, the singer still has trouble dealing with their emotions and overcomplicates things. People tell them to "elevate," probably meaning to relax or take a break, but they cannot seem to do so without assistance.
The second verse continues to explore the theme of feeling lost and unsure of what to do. The singer has trouble finding their way "up into the clouds," which may symbolize feeling disconnected from their thoughts or emotions. However, they have someone in their life who reminds them of a time when things were simpler and less complicated. Just seeing this person's face can help the singer feel better. Despite this, the singer still struggles to control their mind and deal with their anxiety.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to take a moment to breathe and remind themselves that they can get through tough times with the help of loved ones.
