Breathe Deeply
Mellowhead Feat. 片寄明人 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

始まりはいつだって
大嫌いな火曜日
水曜の夜にはきっと
心の大波が荒れる
君がいない夜が鳴いた
金切り声螺旋描いて
耳の奥 うずくまった
もう一歩も身動きが取れない
息を深く吸い込んで
冷静さを取り戻して
耳を澄まして感じるんだ
傷だらけの心臓が打つビートを

きらめくような 春の光が
記憶を横切れば
夏の青空 モザイクのように
頭上で割れて 崩れた

丁寧にひとつひとつ
ネジを緩めながら
喜怒哀楽が血管 流れ出し震える
君がいない夜が鳴いた
金切り声 耳塞いで
たとえ少しだけだって
前へ進める事を願って
息を深く吸い込んで
冷静さを取り戻して
耳を澄まして感じるんだ
傷だらけの心臓が打つビートを

きらめくような 春の光が
記憶を横切れば
夏の青空 モザイクのように
頭上で割れて 崩れた

このままじゃ駄目だなんて
そんなのは承知の上で
息を深く吸い込んで
耳を澄まして感じるんだ

Overall Meaning

The song "Breathe Deeply" by Mellowhead feat. 片寄明人 reflects the inner turmoil of the singer/songwriter on a Tuesday morning which they detest, and how it culminates into a major emotional upheaval on Wednesday night. The absence of the person they long for causes the heart and mind to be in a state of turmoil, that seems perpetual and endless. They describe how the sound of the night is just a painful reminder of what they lack and how the screeching sound spins into them and makes them feel unable to move forward.


As the chorus comes in, the singer advises taking deep breaths to maintain composure, to focus on the sound of their heart, full of wounds yet beating with persistence against all odds. The next verses describe how memories of happy times are just reminders of what is missing, causing even more of a spiraling effect. The singer uses these turbulent emotions to try and loosen the screws holding them down, and gradually they feel different emotions surface.


Even though it may seem that things are falling apart, taking deep breaths and listening to the beating heart can help in regaining one’s calm and finding a way forward. The song portrays an almost cathartic experience of facing one’s inner demons and finding the strength to carry on.

LYRICS🥀
If you think I couldn't hold my own, believe me, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If it ain't so awful and we're all together, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If you think I couldn't roll with you, believe me, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If ideally we should feel like this forever, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can

[Chorus]
Would you say seems you're coming on?
Breathe a little deeper
Should you need to come undone
And let those colours run
Would you say now you're having fun?
So do this and get through this
And come find me when you're done
So we can be as one

[Verse 2]
If you think I couldn't hold my own, believe me, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If you need someone to tell you that you're special, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If you need someone to carry on, believe me, I can
Believe me, I can, believe me, I can
If you think that I was feeling what you're feeling, I am
Believe me, I am, believe me, I am

[Bridge]
And the groove is low

[Chorus]
Would you say seems you're coming on?
Breathe a little deeper
Should you need to come undone
And let those colours run
Now you're having fun
So do this and get through this (And the groove is low)
And come find me when you're done
So we can be as one

[Refrain]
'Til the mornin'
'Til the mornin', oh
And the groove is low
'Til the mornin'
And the groove is low

[Chorus]
Seems you're coming on
Breathe a little deeper
Should you need to come undone ('Til the mornin')
And let those colours run
Now you're having fun ('Til the mornin')
Do this and get through this
And until we see the sun (And the groove is low)
You're my number one

[Refrain]
'Til the mornin'
(Would you say?)
And the groove is low
'Til the mornin'
And the groove is low

[Outro]
We're both adults while we behave like children
Long as we got enough to keep on living
'Til the mornin'
'Til the mornin'

I like this song even more, knowing you wrote it about being uncomfortable being stoned in public!

@JohnJohnJohnJohn

He wrote a good song , isn't it

@lesterperez1872

I'm 23 and agree with 66 year old guy. Tame Impala's music just hits different. Almost a transcending feeling.

I am 66 yrs old and I hate it when fellow old dudes say there is no good music anymore. I really enjoy Tame Impala and especially this song. This song is amazing. Old dudes, there is so much great music in the world.
