The lyrics of “Breathe” can be interpreted in various ways, but they generally center around the idea of struggling to cope with emotional pain. The opening lines, “Fighting gravity’s pull, trying to give in/When shadows dance around, you are my sunshine,” establish a sense of internal conflict and the search for a source of light and hope. The repeated plea, “Baby, baby, won’t you please stay with me?/Don’t really wanna be this way,” highlights the desperation and vulnerability of the narrator.

Throughout the song, Arthur uses metaphors and imagery to convey the complexities of grief and healing. Lines like “You make me forget about time, how it’s coming for me” and “You take the weight off my chest, like gravity’s set me free” illustrate the transformative power of love and the potential for finding solace in another person.

The song’s climax arrives with the powerful chorus: “And I wanna breathe, breathe, breathe you in/Feel you close, let the walls cave in/And I wanna breathe, breathe, breathe you in/Hold you tight, never let you win.” This heartfelt declaration of longing and dependence reflects the desperate desire for connection and comfort in the face of emotional pain.
