One Breath
Embracing Life's Rhythms: One Breath at a Time with Empress Of
Lyrics
When everything feels heavy
Expressing a sense of burden or difficulty in life.
When I become a shell
Describing a feeling of emptiness or detachment from oneself.
I listen to my body
Emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and listening to one's own body.
The stories movement tells
Acknowledging the narratives revealed through physical movements.
Turn silence into simple sounds
Transforming silence into simple, meaningful sounds.
Fear is drowning, love is loud
Highlighting the contrast between the overwhelming nature of fear and the powerful nature of love.
I know it's not really me
Recognizing a discrepancy between one's true self and external perceptions.
Temptation is to hold it back
The inclination to restrain emotions or expressions.
Keep it in 'til I collapse
Keeping emotions bottled up until reaching a breaking point.
I know, I just need to breathe
Realizing the necessity of taking a moment to breathe and regain composure.
So I'll take one breath at a time
Approaching life with a step-by-step mentality, focusing on the present.
And I'll dance 'til I dance it dry
Embracing the joy of dancing as a form of release and expression.
No mistakes, it's me and the sky
Acknowledging personal responsibility and avoiding errors in one's journey.
And I'll dance 'til I dance it dry
Reiterating the commitment to dance until emotions are exhausted.
Bailando entre dos vidas
Dancing between two lives, the past, and the future.
El pasado y el futuro
Reflecting on the dynamic tension between past and future experiences.
A veces me siento perdida
Admitting occasional feelings of being lost but asserting personal strength.
Nunca soy inferior
Affirming equality and rejecting feelings of inferiority.
El tiempo pasa, también el temor
Noting the passage of time and the eventual fading of fears.
Todo lo que es dolor se va
Believing that pain is transient and will eventually dissipate.
Va lejos de mí
Expressing a sense of liberation as pain moves away.
So I'll take one breath at a time
Repeating the theme of approaching life one breath at a time.
And I'll dance 'til I dance it dry
Reiterating the therapeutic and transformative power of dancing.
No mistakes, it's me and the sky
Stressing the importance of avoiding mistakes in the personal journey.
And I'll dance 'til I dance it dry
Affirming the commitment to continue dancing until emotional exhaustion.
