Breath
Breath of Life: Embracing Moments, Chasing Time
Lyrics
He knows who I am
Recognition of the speaker's identity by someone else.
He looks at me slowly
The other person gazes at the speaker slowly.
Each morning he gets up
Every morning, the other person rises from bed.
I lie and miss his body
The speaker lies down and longs for the other person's presence.
It's not a waste of time
Emphasizes that investing time in feeling warmth is valuable.
To feel the heat
Expresses the importance of experiencing intense emotions.
Leave the sheets
Suggests leaving the comfort of the familiar (sheets) is worthwhile.
Because breath between talking is life
Highlights the significance of pauses in conversation as essential for life.
Waiting for the end of now is life
Life is found in living in the present, not just waiting for the future.
The gas on the sun sizzles
Metaphorically describes the activity on the sun's surface.
We wait around like rain inside clouds
Waiting patiently, akin to rain forming within clouds.
Inside clouds clouds
Repetition for emphasis on the cloud imagery and waiting.
I don't have a plan
The speaker lacks a specific plan or direction.
I've usually got one
Contrasts with the usual possession of a plan by the speaker.
I want this to last
Expresses a desire for the current state to endure.
I think I can hold on
The speaker believes they can endure or persevere.
It's not a waste of time
Reiteration of the value in investing time in certain actions.
To drive past his work
Driving past the other person's workplace is meaningful.
Because breath between talking is life
Reiterates the importance of pauses in conversation for vitality.
Waiting for the end of now is life
Life is in the present, not solely in anticipation of the future.
The gas on the sun sizzles
Metaphorically describes activity on the sun's surface, perhaps hinting at intensity.
We wait around like rain inside clouds
Waiting patiently, like rain forming within clouds, is reiterated.
Inside clouds clouds
Repetition of the cloud imagery and waiting for emphasis.
Because breath between talking is life
Emphasizes the vitality in pauses during conversation.
Waiting for the end of now is life
Reiterates the idea that life is in the present, not just in waiting for the future.
The gas on the sun sizzles
Metaphorically describes intense activity on the sun's surface.
