Lyrics
Are we so brave?
Questioning the courage of individuals
Are we so bold
Raising the question of boldness
As to deny our hearts?
Challenging the act of denying one's true feelings
Are we so numb?
Questioning emotional sensitivity or awareness
Are we so cold
Questioning emotional warmth or empathy
As to defy our conscience?
Challenging the act of going against one's moral values
Awkwardly, we walk alone
Describing a sense of isolation and detachment
So distant and so uncaring
Highlighting emotional distance and apathy
Deliberately we disguise ourselves
Deliberate concealment of true selves for protection
To protect our frail emotions
Using disguises to shield vulnerable emotions
The ability to feel and be,
Emphasizing the capacity to experience emotions
Somewhere in me,
Personal acknowledgment of inner emotions
Is longing to free
Expressing a desire to liberate suppressed emotions
This screaming breath
Referring to intense inner emotions
Breathe
Encouraging the act of breathing and releasing
Selfishly, we retain and horde
Selfish hoarding of possessions and emotions
Everything and yet, nothing at all
Commenting on the paradox of possessing everything yet nothing
A poisoned soul can never soar
Exploring the consequences of a poisoned soul
When bound by doubt and by fear
Restrictions imposed by doubt and fear on personal growth
Awkwardly, we walk alone
Reiteration of isolation and distance in one's journey
So distant and so uncaring
Reemphasizing emotional detachment and indifference
Deliberately we disguise ourselves
Repeated theme of concealing true selves for emotional protection
To protect our frail emotions
Emphasizing the vulnerability of emotions needing protection
The ability to feel and be,
Reiterating the potential to experience emotions
Somewhere in me,
Internal conflict between suppressed emotions and the desire for freedom
Is longing to free
Expressing a yearning for liberation of intense emotions
This screaming breath
Reiteration of intense inner emotions
Breathe
Encouraging the act of breathing and letting go
Are we so brave?
Repeating the question about bravery
Are we so bold
Repeating the question about boldness
To hide from things we long to show
Questioning the act of hiding what one desires to reveal
Are we so numb?
Repeating the question about emotional numbness
Are we so cold
Repeating the question about emotional coldness
As to lose the self to self-control?
Reflecting on the potential loss of self-control
The ability to feel and be,
Reiterating the potential to experience emotions
Somewhere in me,
Internal conflict between suppressed emotions and the desire for freedom
Is longing to free
Expressing a yearning for liberation of intense emotions
This screaming breath
Reiteration of intense inner emotions
Breathe
Encouraging the act of breathing and letting go
