Breathe Again
Pop Evil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buried and burdened, my patience was gone
Blinded, my vision was wrong
Head underwater in waves I could see
I found the strength in me
The strength in me
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
I can finally breathe again
It's getting darker, numbing the pain inside
Feels like forever, all the times I tried
To be myself, break the chains, no one ever sees
I found the strength in me
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
Breathe again
Letting go of the weight inside
Can we give this another try?
Letting go, I feel alive
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
"Breathe Again" by Pop Evil is a powerful anthem about overcoming challenges, finding inner strength, and regaining a sense of freedom. The opening line, "I can finally breathe again," sets the tone for the entire song, expressing a deep relief and liberation that comes from overcoming obstacles.
The lyrics describe a journey of being buried and burdened, feeling blinded and suffocated by circumstances. However, the singer refuses to give up and continues to search for strength. They find clarity amidst the waves of adversity, enabling them to see the truth and rediscover their own power. The repetition of the line "I found the strength in me" emphasizes this personal triumph.
The chorus further emphasizes the newfound liberation. The singer stands on their own two feet, learning that their scars won't reopen and bleed. Mistakes they once thought might destroy them are now a source of growth and resilience. The ability to finally breathe again signifies a release from the pain and a fresh start.
The bridge of the song reflects on the process of letting go and finding new life. It acknowledges the weight that has been carried internally and poses the question of whether a fresh start is possible. By letting go, the singer begins to feel alive, as if the weight of their struggles has been lifted.
Overall, "Breathe Again" is a testament to the human spirit's ability to persevere and find strength in the face of adversity. Through its emotive lyrics, the song encourages listeners to confront their own challenges, embrace their scars, and regain a sense of freedom.

One of few bands that successfully adds modern effects without sacrificing riffage. Thanks Pop Evil

Riffage is a very underused word.

As an 80s kid, it's amazing to see how metal has been evolving and picking up influences through all these decades. Still the most vibrant, interesting and forward-thinking music genre ever. š¤š¤
@Halodri73
Absolutely true!

80's kid here as well. Hearing a lot of meshuggah riffs being used by bands today.
