Breathe
Rhodes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night, Break in two
There’s a light in the sky, there’s a light and its all for you
Don’t, cut us all
Tell me how do you feel, tell me how do you need to hear
Are you holding your breath again?
Are you holding your breath again?

Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I’ll keep you warm
Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I need your love
Come on!

I will steer the wind
Don’t you move
Will it carry me, slowly carry me close to you?
Don’t, lose your sight
With a fire in your heart, takes a hold of your life
Are you holding your breath again?

Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I’ll keep you warm
Come on!
Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I need your love
Come on now!

Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!
Never give up!

Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I’ll keep you warm
Come on!
Breathe, release it all
Come on now!
I need your love
Come on now!

There’s a light, it’s all for you
Come on now!
There’s a light, it’s all for you
Come on now!
There’s a light, it’s all for you




Come on now!
Breathe release it all...

David said: ""Breathe" is a song about wanting to give up on everything, but then finding a way through. A friend was struggling with depression and I wrote this song for her, I wanted her to know how beautiful she is and how much she means to me.". After reading these words its meaning seams even more powerful to me.

@Alyisneverblue

Thank you. I love this.

I was scratching my head about this video. I didn’t connect him to the girl cuz I’m the end only he took a breath. I wish it would have shown her being lifted up somehow or he helped her to piece it together. Depression is crazy like everything in the video, the disconnect from withdrawing or being sad doesn’t click. She lost the contest and was sad, he was there for her but she couldn’t see the beauty in herself isn’t clear. The director should have connected it for clarity. Thanks for sharing the meaning, it makes total sense now. That is a beautiful gesture for a friend. Like the music, the beauty in every part of from the voice, lyrics, that place deep in his soul it comes from... it’s smoothness and range plus a million other talents make top artist. I could pop off top artists he is like. He has consistent hits that other young artists don’t who are big. So many songs on his LP’s that are just as good as his top songs if not better. Live he can be flat and needs to work on his low scale where it shows. If that’s what is holding him back get that straight. That voice when it blows is feckin amazing!!
