Just Keep Breathing
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And dreams are just a memory
Without the dark the light won't show
Remember that you're not alone
When you watch the world just turn away
And break the promises it made
When love is all too hard to hold
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
2 A.M., too tired to sleep
When what you want's not what you need
And when these walls don't feel like home
Remember that you're not alone
The beginning's just another end
It's not too late to start again
When hope is all too hard to hold
Just take a breath and let it go
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
When heaven seems so far away
And dreams are just a memory
When love is all too hard to hold
Just take a breath and let it
And go whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Just Keep Breathing is a song about holding on during difficult times. The opening lines talk about how it can feel like we're alone and that our dreams are just memories. We can feel like we're in the dark and lost, but the song reminds us that we're not alone. It's important to keep breathing and keep moving forward, even when everything seems impossible.
The lyrics continue to describe the world turning away and breaking promises, but we must let go of what we cannot control. "Just take a breath and let it go" reminds us to release our worries and focus on the things we can change. The song acknowledges that sometimes life can feel like an endless cycle of disappointment, but we have the power to start again. We must hold on to hope and keep moving forward, even when it's hard.
The chorus repeats, "Just keep breathing" to remind us to take it one step at a time. This song is a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The bridge of the song is instrumental, and it gives listeners a moment to reflect on the message of the song. The closing lines repeat the chorus with a little more power and energy, encouraging us to keep going even when it seems impossible.

THIS is what music should be! Music should have some sort of meaning, not random garbage showing you banging hoes and riding in limos. This song is one of the most powerful and emotional songs I ever heard and I hope there are more people in the future like WTK. Please, for the sake of all that is left in this world, if you are reading this and not doing anything, HELP! This country, this world, is so fucked up. May my generation hopefully fix it. It most likely won't, but that won't stop me from doing everything I can to help. Thank you for taking your time to read this, love you WTK. You guys are, and always will be, my favorite motivational musicians.

@Авто Люб And yet you still care enough about it to not only listen to the whole things, but also devote your time to criticizing it, when you /must/ know you will not change any perspectives.
