Breathe
Breathing Lessons: Life's Dance with Love, Loss, and Wisdom
Lyrics
I know I know
Expressing awareness or acknowledgment of a situation.
I'm doing everything that I'm told
Adhering to instructions or societal expectations.
So when I get small and old
Anticipating a future state of being small and old.
I'll have a castle filled with love and gold
Envisioning a prosperous future with love and wealth.
But as far as my soul
The soul is metaphorically left behind during a life change.
Well I left it in the house that we sold
The soul is associated with a house that was sold.
Beside the friends that we couldn't hold
Reference to lost friendships or connections.
And maybe that's why I'm not feeling hole
Suggesting emotional incompleteness or emptiness.
Breathe all of the air that you're given to breathe
Encouraging the listener to make the most of life.
Take all of these lessons and learn one from me
Sharing the importance of learning from life experiences.
I know kids are expected to fall
Acknowledging that children are expected to make mistakes.
But these wings that I grew will not fail me at all
Asserting confidence and resilience in facing challenges.
Breathe; If life is a bitch then you best have a ball
Advising to enjoy life despite its challenges.
My heart is gone
Expressing a sense of heartache or emotional loss.
It seems I left it in the place where I'm from
Indicating the location where the heart is left.
But now I understand what my grandpa meant
Understanding the longing for perpetual youth.
When he wished he could be forever young
Referencing the desire to remain young forever.
But he said Son, "I'm not close to done
Quoting advice about enjoying life regardless of age.
There's always room for fun when you live like you're twenty one"
Emphasizing the importance of fun in life.
I took words from that, they keep me on track
Deriving personal guidance from the quoted advice.
They keep me moving forward so I'm never looking back
Maintaining forward momentum and avoiding dwelling on the past.
Breathe all of the air that you're given to breathe
Reiteration of the importance of breathing and living fully.
Take all of these lessons and learn one from me
Encouraging the listener to learn from the speaker's experiences.
I know kids are expected to fall
Acknowledging the inevitability of mistakes in youth.
But these wings that I grew will not fail me at all
Expressing confidence in personal growth and resilience.
I breathe; If life is a bitch then you best have a ball
Reaffirming the advice to enjoy life despite its challenges.
Breathe all of the air that you're given to breathe
Reiteration of the importance of breathing and living fully.
Take all of these lessons and learn one from me
Encouraging the listener to learn from the speaker's experiences.
I know kids are expected to fall
Acknowledging the inevitability of mistakes in youth.
But these wings that I grew will not fail me at all
Expressing confidence in personal growth and resilience.
I breathe; If life is a bitch then you best have a ball
Reaffirming the advice to enjoy life despite its challenges.
