Lyric discussion by cypherssteak 

As an introvert i can definitely relate to this. I think what the whole song is saying that there's nothing wrong with being introverted. 36 degrees is normal body temperature (in celcius). I.e its his normal state of existence and there's nothing wrong with him like many people assume there is something wrong with an introvert. 'I've never been an extrovert But I'm still breathing ' and I've always been an introvert Happily bleeding back this up.

However it can often cause problems in relationships when you need space to be alone and the other person doesn't accept that. From this point on the relationship 'falls apart' no matter how 'tight' you used to be. 'I've gotta breathe to stay alive And 1 4 2 9 7 8 Feels like I'm gonna suffocate 14 16 22'

'Waxing with a candlelight And burning just for you ' i think this refers to the way in which being around people often 'burns out' introverts who need to be alone at times, but he was exhausting himself by being around this person/ living a more extroverted lifestyle than normal, just for his partener

@cypherssteak hi, great comments, i like to add also, once their relation was like a silver and after time it turns to blue ( in time, as a fact, silver turns blue.. and in order to make it shiny again you have to wax with candle) so i think it is a beautiful metaphor.. sorry about my English..Also deep breathing is a way to getting rid of troubled thoughts or mindsets, it is a means of meditating and staying alive mentally.. Peace and happiness!
