Breathless
Tina Cousins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lifts me up on angel's wings
Love has cast it's spell on me
I want to feel everything
Hurry up this heart is waitin'
To take me far away from here
Pushin' on anticipatin'
Baby can't you see that you're the air I need
I'm breathless
'cause there's a deeper me, that no one else has seen
I'm breathless
Close my eyes as a lovers kiss
Wakes the fellin's deep within'
Barely touchin' fingertips
I'm ready now for anything
Baby can't you see that you're the air I need
I'm breathless
'cause there's a deeper me, that no one else has seen
I'm breathless
As the colours bleed
It's getting hard to Breathe
The lyrics of Tina Cousins's song Breathless express the feeling of love and the way it lifts the soul. The singer is completely immersed in love, and the melody of the song carries her emotions, as if she were riding on angel's wings. The thought of love intoxicates the singer, and she wants to feel and experience everything that love has to offer. She implores her lover to hurry up and take her away from her current existence, to lead her to the exhilarating heights of romantic love. The potential danger of falling is no longer a concern as the allure of love dominates her consciousness.
In the second part of the song, the lyrics shift towards the physical aspect of love. The singer refers to a lover's kiss and how it awakens deep feelings. She is ready for anything that love may bring, and exploring her deepest desires is her priority. The singer reveals that there is a deeper part of herself that no one else has seen, and it is only through love that it has been brought to the surface. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a darker turn. The singer describes a sense of suffocation, and the colours seem to be bleeding, making it hard to breathe.
