“BREATHE” is a reflective song exploring the struggle with personal growth and the longing to reconnect with one’s past self. The lyrics emphasize the importance of staying grounded and not losing oneself in the pursuit of fame and fortune.
I let memories turn into jealousy
My intuitions will still get the best of me
My true self slit his throat when I was 17
All that's left is a shell of his memory
They said "are you ready to give up everything now?"
Only way to get it is forgetting where you came from
I gave them my bloody twin at the stake
Just to dress in all his clothes and steal his reputation
All 'cause he wanted someone
I must've wanted this more
Millions of dollars from one
Got what I gave him up for
Breathe when I tell you to breathe
Listen to me
What the fuck did I do?
Breathe when I tell you to breathe
Do it for me
Don't let this shit take you
I can't apologize to anyone, it's already too late
The person that I used to be is fucking fading away
And every day I'm still chasing this old me
But would it change if somebody had told me?
They said "are you ready to give up everything now?"
Only way to get it is forgetting where you came from
I gave them my bloody twin at the stake
Just to dress in all his clothes and steal his reputation
All 'cause he wanted someone
I must've wanted this more
Millions of dollars from one
Got what I gave him up for
Breathe when I tell you to breathe
Listen to me
What the fuck did I do?
Breathe when I tell you to breathe
Do it for me
Don't let this shit take you
