Front Of
The Gift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop breathing I'm trying to get some sleep
Stop breathing allow me to repeat
Keep breathing I guess it would disturb
Keep breathing the road is getting long
Maybe I will find you in another place
Maybe I will find you with somebody else
Keep breathing life is hard to play
Keep breathing we haven't find the way
Stop breathing this game it makes no sense
Stop breathing
Maybe I will find you in another place
Maybe I will find you with somebody else
The things that they said us
The things that we run off
Though we try to move over
After all that we saw
The stage is clear, the view is soft
But it's so cold, warm enough
The game is set, and too much players again,
And here we are, in front of them again
Keep breathing, I'm glad to see you back
Keep breathing I thought we would give up
Stop breathing their eyes will catch our soul
Stop breathing their ears will break our mind
Keep breathing and join the carrousel
Stop breathing pretend a pantomime
Keep breathing today we woke up blue
Stop breathing perhaps we lay down dark
Keep breathing I'm trying to get some sleep
Stop breathing allow me to repeat
Keep breathing and join the carrousel
Stop breathing
And dark, and blue, and again
Maybe I will find you in another place
Maybe I will find you with somebody else
Keep breathing I'm trying to get some sleep
Stop breathing allow me to repeat
Keep breathing this game it makes no sense
Stop breathing




Maybe I will find you in another place
Maybe I will find you with somebody else

Overall Meaning

The Gift's song "Front Of" is a hauntingly beautiful composition that deals with the complexities of relationships that are coming to an end. The lyrics speak of a couple on the verge of a breakup, and the conflicting emotions that they are experiencing as they try to come to terms with their feelings. The song explores themes of loss, regret, and the fear of moving on.


In the opening lines, the singer pleads with their partner to stop breathing so that they can get some sleep. The repetition of this phrase adds to the sense of desperation and frustration that the singer is feeling. They are conflicted between their desire to be with their partner and their need for personal space and rest. The singer then goes on to suggest that maybe they will find their partner with someone else - a haunting thought that cuts deep into the emotions of the song.


The central theme of the song seems to be the idea of breathing and its symbolic significance in relationships. Breathing is a natural part of our lives, but in this song, it takes on a deeper meaning as a metaphor for the ups and downs of romantic relationships. The repetitive use of this word ensures that the listener is reminded of its significance throughout the song.

This is the Most Beautiful Song I Ever Heard!!!

Inventor

Una vez fuí a Barcelona, salí del tren, entré en el Fnac, ví unas cortinas negras y gente curioseando, llegué justo al momento en que empezaba el concierto, me senté en primera fila a un metro de la cantante, me quedé hipnotizado que hasta lloré por las notas, nunca un grupo desconocido me había causado tan larga emoción musical con la piel de gallina y amandoles instantáneamente sin necesidad del reconocer previo que es una condición absoluta que requiere el amor, este flechazo para mí fué un hecho insólito pues soy hiperexigente. Les felicité al finalizar y aquel día especial aprendí que es posible una música muy guay y me ha alentado en estos 25 años de soledad musical y es que tener la suerte de ver una estrella fugaz a tu lado sin verla por la tele marca una impronta en el alma imposible de borrar. Haber vibrado en consonancia por simpatía debido a coincidencias estilísticas armónicas fué un placer de afinidad que ha reforzado la difícil de describir y a menudo borrósamente olvidada historia de las influencias del pasado que me completan.
