Breathe Again
Vonder & Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just why you think you got it all
it's a long way down, down
he said love is the only thing
the only thing you really need
but it's lost somehow, somehow
I'm in the dark, but I'm trying now
Learning to be, learning to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Learning to be, I'm trying to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
He said dream - I did
But don't let any fade away
'Cuz they can't be saved.
He said faith is empty space
but if you fill that with hope
get your way back home
I have no rules on living life
I'm in the dark, but I'm trying now
Learning to be, learning to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Learning to be. I'm trying to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Teach me, tell me how to live my life
Cause I'm lost, but I'm trying,
but I'm trying, but I'm trying now…
Learning to be, learning to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Learning to be. I'm trying to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Learning to be, learning to feel
Learning to breathe again this time
Learning to be. I'm trying to feel
Learning to breathe again this time

The lyrics of Vonder & Bloom's Breathe Again are about trying to navigate through the difficulties of life - the ups and downs, the highs and lows. The opening lines are a reflection on how life is unpredictable and can be difficult to navigate. The singer contemplates how just when one thinks they have everything under control, life can throw them a curveball and they end up feeling like everything is falling apart. The line "it's a long way down, down" highlights the sense of hopelessness that can sometimes come with facing challenges.
The song then takes a turn toward coping and survival. The singer mentions how love is the only real thing that one needs, but sometimes it can be difficult to hold onto or lost along the way. The importance of hope is highlighted as a way to fill the empty space that can come with faith. The chorus then repeats the lines "learning to be, learning to feel, learning to breathe again this time." These lines emphasize the singer's determination to move forward and experience life fully, despite any struggles experienced in the past.
The final verse is a plea for guidance and direction. The singer acknowledges feeling lost and unsure of how to proceed. The repeated refrain at the end is a way of internalizing the message of the song; it serves as a reminder to keep pushing forward even when things seem difficult or overwhelming.
Overall, Breathe Again is a powerful song about the importance of resilience and the ability to keep moving forward through life's challenges.
