Breathe Again
Too Sorry For Apologies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's got this journal filled
With all her black ink guilt
And love is the only thing keeping her alive
She's got her mind made up
That all she needs is love
Her heart is the only thing helping her decide
To breathe again, to breathe again
And when she's tired she doesn't sleep
A week since I've seen her eat
She's skin and bones, she's beautiful
No matter what
I wish I could help her see
She means the world to me
But the world, it doesn't mean much to her
Chorus
Bridge
I'll be there to split your lips
Like when the ice berg hits
And the ship has to break apart
Show its teeth and smile
Chorus
She's got this journal filled
With all her black ink guilt
And love is the only thing keeping her alive
She's got her mind made up
That all she needs is love
And she'll breathe again
And she'll breathe again
And she'll breathe again
She'll breathe again, again
The song "Breathe Again" by Too Sorry For Apologies portrays the story of a girl who is struggling with mental health issues. The first lines of the chorus, "She's got this journal filled, with all her black ink guilt" suggest that she has been carrying a lot of emotional baggage, and the only way for her to cope is by writing all her thoughts, regrets, and feelings in a journal. The lyrics further reveal that despite her struggles, love is the only thing that is keeping her alive. She's convinced that all she needs is love and that her heart is the only thing that helps her make any decision.
The first verse talks about her deteriorating physical health, indicating that she's not taking care of herself. She's not sleeping well, and it's been a week since she's eaten, which makes her look frail and thin. The lines, "She's skin and bones, she's beautiful, no matter what" portray that despite all her physical imperfections, the singer finds her flawless and beautiful. However, the singer doesn't see herself the same way. The singer goes on to say, "I wish I could help her see, she means the world to me, but the world, it doesn't mean much to her." It suggests that the singer may have lost hope and interest in everything, except for love.
The Bridge emphasizes the singer's commitment to the singer. The line "I'll be there to split your lips, like when the ice burg hits and the ship has to break apart" indicates that the singer is there to support her, even when things get tougher. The singer is there to help her fight, break through, and smile.
Overall, "Breathe Again" is a poignant song that describes the challenges faced by someone struggling with mental health issues. It highlights the power of love and the importance of support in such situations.
