Killswitch Engage – Just Barely Breathing

  Song Meaning:If you buy Alive or Just Breathing RR 25th Anniversary album,Jesse says hiself what it means.
  
  
  He wrote it on a rainy depressing day, and this is him calling out to God to please end this world. He said he sees so much evil and darkness in our people.
  "The skies weep tonight,our bodies washed away
  I am waiting for you,deliverance
  The sun falls through the clouds,hear my cry"
  
  He's basically asking God to end this world because he is ready to go to Heaven

  General Comment:I love the melodies & screaming. This song is awesome. I like how it fades out but you can still hear the vocals all hypnotic in the background. Leaves the song with a nice phrase repeated.

  General Comment:this song is really so amazing.. leach had probably the best voice and vocal melodies ever to grade a hardcore band. howard's cool too.. but the new material just feels way too studio produced and boring, not anywhere near the beauty ofo the first album. and this song.. this song is just amazing. blehh!!

  General Comment:"The skies weep tonight, our bodies wash away", I love that line. Supervixen has explained the meaning, and I think this song is really relavent, cause it's only at the times when something really bad happens to us (like losing a loved one, or something like that) that we syop and think, have I made the most of the time Ive got? Killswitch Engage are the best band in the world!
