I knew this would be hell, but this is not living
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood

Breathe
You wanted this
And if we can't even trust ourselves how can we trust anyone else
And if we can't even trust ourselves how can we trust anyone else
It's not safe to swim today
It's not safe to swim today
It's not safe to swim today
It's not safe

I don't think I can be saved
I don't think I can be saved

This shallow water is my grave
I don't think I can be saved

Breathe
Exhale blood
Push them down and exhale water
Push them down and exhale blood

    My Interpretation

    someone that loves him is not happy with how he lives his life. possibly their is someone that suggests to him that he needs religion. . possibly. but he will not . he knows he cant be what it is he is wanted to be in the eyes of the loved one and mostly because he doesnt have faith in the people reprensenting the religion and or he is saying that if he would rather die than be part of something he doesnt trust. . its not that he cant be saved he just doesnt believe the process holds any true purpose. today anxway which might show he is agnostic and today he remains to be

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
