Live & Breathe
Tina Cousins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You give me strength when I am weak
You mellow my soul with your sanctuary
What else could I do
When all I am is you
You set me free and now I fly again
We've found a deeper love
And a deeper meaning
And it's like a deeper feeling
A deeper love
And a deeper meaning
And it's right so live and breathe it
Deeper love let's get deeper love

You made me whole you made me complete
The song of your soul echos in me
What else could it do
When I find myself in you
You give me hope and I shine again

We've found a deeper love
And a deeper meaning
And it's like a deeper feeling
A deeper love
And a deeper meaning




And it's right so live and breathe it
Deeper love let's get deeper love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tina Cousins's song "Live & Breathe" express absolute devotion and appreciation towards someone who has had a profound positive impact on the singer's life. The first verse starts with the singer mentioning the kind of emotional support and foundation they've received from the person they're singing to by stating "You give me strength when I am weak." The following line describes how the person's individual spirit provides the singer with a sense of peace and tranquility through their designated personal space, or their "sanctuary." The lines "What else could I do / When all I am is you" impart the idea that the person the song is directed toward is the main source of the singer's identity and existence.


The second verse affirms the idea that the person being sung to has had a profound impact on the singer's life by saying "You made me whole, you made me complete." The line "The song of your soul echoes in me" implies that the person being sung to has a beautiful soul and a heartwarming personality which the singer resonates with. The verse concludes with the same rhetorical question, "What else could it do / When I find myself in you", which emphasizes that the singer's entire world is this person and that the singer owes everything to the person being sung to.


The chorus of "Live & Breathe" repeats the idea that the two have "found a deeper love / And a deeper meaning" and that they're experiencing a "deeper feeling" because of this. The phrase "live and breathe it" captures the sense of being so consumed with this love that it becomes the very essence of life itself. The song culminates with a call-to-action, urging the listener to "get deeper love" as a result of experiencing this kind of unconditional and profound affection.
