Rebirthing
Skillet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside this soul
Screaming for you till
My throat is numb
I wanna break out
I need a way out
I don't believe that it's gonna be this way
The waiting
In this world I'm suffocating
Feel Your presence
Filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take You in
I've died
Rebirthing now
I wanna live forever
Wanna live for You and me
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
Rebirithing now
I wanna live my life
Wanna give You everything
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
Right now
Right now
I lie here lifeless
In this cocoon
Shedding the skin 'cause
I'm ready to
I wanna break out
I found a way out
I don't believe that it's gonna be this way
The worst is
The waiting
In this world I'm suffocating
Feel Your presence
Filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take You in
I've died
Rebirthing now
I wanna live forever
Wanna live for You and me
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
Rebirithing now
I wanna live my life
Wanna give You everything
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
(I came alive somehow)
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when I'm gonna breathe you in
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'm gonna feel alive
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Tell me when this fear will end
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Tell me when I'll feel alive
Rebirthing now
I wanna live forever
Wanna live for You and me
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
Rebirithing now
I wanna live my life
Wanna give You everything
(Breathe for the first time now
I came alive somehow)
(I came alive somehow) right now!
(I came alive somehow) right now!
(I came alive somehow)

Once again stuck in a stagnant state
In this cocoon
Seeking refuge from the world
Shedding the skin 'cause
Discarding my old ways
I'm ready to
I'm primed for personal growth
I wanna break out
Again, I want to escape this unchanged state
I found a way out
I've located the solution to my problems
Tell me when I'm gonna live again
Asking for a sign of progress
Tell me when I'm gonna breathe you in
Looking for new inspiration
Tell me when I'm gonna feel inside
Seeking a deeper connection with my inner self
Tell me when I'm gonna feel alive
Yearning for purpose
Rebirthing now
Once again, starting anew
I wanna live forever
Continuing my pursuit of a fulfilling life
Wanna live for You and me
Working towards the growth of both myself and a higher power
(Breathe for the first time now
Trying this new experience again
I came alive somehow)
Though unsure, I have faith in this new journey
(I came alive somehow) right now!
Acknowledging the aforementioned faith and unbridled enthusiasm
