Lyrics for Breathe as interpreted by hapal lover

Breathe Lyrics
In the quiet of the shadow
In the corner of a room
Darkness moves upon you
Like a cloud across the moon

You're a-wearing all the silence
Of a constant that will turn
Like the windmill left deserted
Or the sun forever burn

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

And all the suffering that you've witnessed
And the hand prints on the wall
They remind you how it's endless
How endlessly you fall

And the answer that you're seeking
For the question that you found
Drives you further to confusion
As you lose your sense of ground

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Keep your head above water
But don't forget to breathe

Breathe....

Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
You know you are here
But you find you want to leave
So don't forget to... breathe

Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe...
Just breathe...
Just breathe...

ridiculously amazing song. I think it's about not freezing up when you're feeling overwhelmed.

I love this song. To me, it's beautifully written song that deals with the discomfort of exsitential anxiety. The song particulary touches me because I am going through my own anxiety around the meaning of life, the uncertainty of my furture, and fear of death. I love that line, "keep your head above water but don't forget to breathe." It's comforting because he's telling us even though you may not have the answers keep doing what you are doing in the present ( "your whole life is here") and relax.

I think it's really cool how relaxing his voice and the guitar is; it makes me feel really relaxed.

To me, the song presents a pretty cool concept. It's enough to keep your head above water, enough struggle goes into just doing that; but while you're struggling not to drown, you forget to ever enjoy the fruits of the labor. Get your head above water, work hard and support yourself, but don't forget what you're doing it for. Enjoy it from time to time. Don't forget to breathe.
