Let Me Breathe
Plastic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Couldn't stomach falling your arms
Tried to let go
But how can I when I'm dreaming of your touch?
I think I'm about to let you in
Don't wanna feel like a ghost
So let me in, don't wanna feel all alone
Just let me in
Let me in, I want it back baby
Couldn't stomach falling back in it
I was doubting
But I don't mind if I hold it in again then
I can feel you there
So I'll let you in, don't wanna feel like a ghost
So let me in, don't wanna feel all alone




Just let me in, don't wanna have to see you go
Just let me in, don't wanna lose what I know

Overall Meaning

Plastic's song Let Me Breathe is a poignant reflection on the struggle to let go of someone or something that we desire desperately. The opening lines "Couldn't stomach falling your arms, Tried to let go" suggest that the singer has been trying to move on from a past relationship, but finds it difficult to do so, perhaps because of the memories of love and intimacy that they shared. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and yearning, as the singer acknowledges that they are still "dreaming of your touch."


As the song progresses, the singer seems to be torn between their desire to move on and their fear of being alone. They declare that they do not want to "feel like a ghost," and repeatedly plead with the object of their affections to "let me in." This phrase takes on a deeper meaning, as it suggests that the singer feels shut out of the world, alienated and disconnected from the people around them. The repeated refrain "don't wanna feel all alone" underscores this sense of isolation and desperation.


Overall, Let Me Breathe is a beautifully crafted song that captures the complexity of human emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person struggling with heartbreak and loneliness, desperately seeking a way to connect with the world around them.
