Hold Your Breath
Sleep On It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep trying to find a way around it but you never really could explain
All the things I couldn't be
But never found a way to stay
Now you see me
I'm falling in and out again
I've been crawling through the dark but I'm fumbling for light again
But I'll never find a way to say
Hold your breath
Let me see it and then
Just let go
You'll never get these chances and then
Take your time to find what's inside
Make me feel like I could be alright
Another year another day
I try to leave it all behind me but I never seem to get away
From all the choices that I made
There's gotta be another way
Now I'm coming to find
That only eyes open wide
Will ever get the chance to see who I am
And who I'm gonna be
I've been awake for days
Trying to shed all of the weight
I will find my way
But I'm questioning what would be best for me
The lyrics of Sleep On It's song "Hold Your Breath" convey themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the struggle to communicate one's feelings and desires.
In the first verse, the singer reflects on someone's difficulty in expressing themselves honestly. Despite their attempts to avoid the truth, they could never fully explain the things the singer couldn't be and the reasons for their inability to stay. However, now that they see the singer, these unspoken thoughts and emotions become apparent.
The second verse delves into the singer's own journey. They admit to frequently falling in and out of different emotional states and struggling through periods of darkness. While they acknowledge their potential for change, they feel unable to effectively articulate their innermost thoughts and feelings.
The chorus serves as a plea to the listener to hold their breath and take a moment of introspection. It urges them to let go of any missed opportunities in life because they may not come again. The lyrics also encourage the listener to take their time and search within for their true self, as it has the potential to make everything feel alright.
Moving into the third verse, the singer refers to the passing of time and a desire to leave behind past mistakes. Despite their efforts to escape the consequences of their choices, they feel trapped. However, they realize that only by keeping their eyes open and embracing every opportunity will they truly discover who they are and who they can become.
The final lines express the singer's exhaustion from trying to overcome the burdens they carry. They are trying to find their own path but are uncertain about what would be best for them. This reflects the internal conflict of making choices that align with personal growth and happiness.
Overall, "Hold Your Breath" acknowledges the difficulties people face in expressing themselves and finding their true identity. It underlines the importance of self-reflection, taking chances, and embracing opportunities to uncover one's authentic self, even in the face of uncertainty.

@Marsha B Oh for sure. I regularly have to travel like 5-6 hours to go to see bands I really like. Because they rarely come to Denmark so I either go to London or some city in Germany.
