Breathing
OSCAR&THE WOLF Lyrics

You want my heart lost in a star
You desire my complete devotion and love, as if my heart is lost among the distant shining stars

And I hold my head down
In response, I feel a sense of submission and keep my head lowered

You love me true, up on the moon
You express your deep love for me, as if we are together on the moon, away from the world

And I hold my head down
Once again, I lower my head, feeling overwhelmed by your love

'Cause you hold my head
Because you have control over my emotions and thoughts

'Cause you hold my head down
You keep me in a state of emotional surrender and submission

You are the night, lost in the sky
You represent the mysterious and alluring darkness, as if you are part of the vast sky

And I hold my head down
Once again, I find myself lowering my head, unable to resist your captivating presence

You're the night, all that I try
You are the embodiment of everything I strive for and desire, like a never-ending night

And I hold my head down
Despite my efforts, I still find myself feeling submissive and overwhelmed

But I'm not breathing
I am suffocating emotionally, unable to find solace or peace

I'm not sleeping
My mind is constantly restless, unable to find rest or tranquility

I'm not leaving here
I am trapped in this emotional state, unable to break free

For you
Because of the intense connection and dependency I feel towards you

You're all I need
You are the only thing I truly require in my life to feel complete and fulfilled

Why can't you see that it's in the air now
I wonder why you fail to realize that our love is palpable and surrounds us

But it's in the air
Our love and connection are intangible yet ever-present

But it's in the air now
It has become even more evident and undeniable

So don't go around
Therefore, do not wander aimlessly or purposely overlook

Let it waste your time
Do not allow this love to consume and distract you unnecessarily

When you don't take it serious
When you fail to give our love the seriousness and attention it deserves

I know you don't take it serious
I am aware that you don't consider our love with the same gravity as I do

You want my heart lost in a star
Again, you desire my heart to be enveloped and consumed by an unreachable celestial body

You love me soon up on the moon
You love me as if our love will bloom and flourish on the moon, away from earthly constraints

And I hold my
And I continue to keep myself in check, to restrain my emotions

But I'm not breathing
Still, I am unable to breathe freely, suffocating from the weight of this love

I'm not sleeping
My restless mind prevents me from finding solace and rest in sleep

I'm not leaving here
I am stuck in this emotional place, unable to break free or move on

For you
Because of the unique connection and dependency I have towards you
