Breathe Out
Embracing Resilience: Finding Strength Amid Broken Promises
Lyrics
When the world is making promises that it can't keep
Expressing disappointment in unfulfilled promises made by the world.
You alone your only friend
Highlighting a sense of isolation, with oneself being the only reliable companion.
Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Encouragement to engage in the rhythmic process of breathing as a coping mechanism.
When the road you're on is longer than you ever thought you'd go
Acknowledging a longer and more challenging life journey than initially anticipated.
You're always on the mend
Emphasizing a persistent state of recovery or healing.
Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Reiterating the importance of breathing as a calming and centering activity.
That weight on your shoulder is worse when you're older
Describing the burdens becoming heavier with age.
The lines that you've drawn will wear thin
Warning about the inevitable wearing down of personal boundaries.
When all that's inside you is screaming for rescue
Internal struggles and the desire for rescue from inner turmoil.
Breathe out again
Encouraging the act of exhaling, possibly releasing inner tension.
When the life you live is falling short of what you want
Reflecting on a life that falls short of personal desires but giving one's best.
But it's all that you can give
Acceptance of limitations and making the most of what one can offer.
Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Repeating the importance of the breathing process for resilience.
Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Reiteration of the rhythmic breathing pattern for coping.
That weight on your shoulder is worse when you're older
Stressing that the burdens feel heavier as one ages.
The lines that you've drawn will wear thin
Warning about the gradual weakening of personal boundaries or principles.
When all that's inside you is screaming for rescue
Expressing an internal cry for help or rescue from emotional struggles.
Breathe out again
Reiteration of the importance of exhaling, possibly to release emotional tension.
When the world is making promises that it can't keep
Repeating the theme of disappointment in unfulfilled promises from the world.
You alone your only friend
Emphasizing self-reliance when feeling alone in facing life's challenges.
Breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Reaffirming the therapeutic act of breathing in the face of disappointments.
Oh, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out again
Closing with a repetition of the rhythmic breathing pattern as a soothing mantra.
