The lyrics of Out Came the Wolves's song Strange Fate seem to be reflective of a moment when someone is experiencing anxiety or fear. The repetition of "Don't hold your breath" and "Don't make a sound" suggests a feeling of being trapped, that one's thoughts and feelings are suffocating, and the only way to release them is by taking deep breaths to calm oneself down. The final repetition of "Just breathe it out" seems to serve as an encouragement to let go of those anxieties and breathe out those fears.
The song may also be interpreted as a message of hope to those who are struggling with mental health issues. The lyrics seem to suggest that the individual is not alone in their struggles, and that it's okay to talk about how they feel to someone who is willing to listen. The line "Don't make a sound" could also be interpreted as the individual being cautious about expressing their feelings to others, but the encouragement to "Just breathe it out" could be seen as a push to overcome that fear of vulnerability and speak up.
Overall, the message of the song seems to be that it's okay to feel anxious, as long as you take the time to care for yourself and talk to someone who can help.
