Breather Lyrics

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

How long do I take it
Can I start to change it
You know it's been a long long time
Can I grow a new skin
Can I try to begin again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

I am always waking
I am always shaking
I think I know this might not end

Can I dry the cold sweat
Get out of this mess again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

Ease into a new box
Shoulder a new lot
It's gonna be a long long time
A whirlwind among breezes
Doing what he pleases again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

How long do I take it
Can I start to change it
You know it's been a long long time
Can I grow a new skin
Can I try to begin again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

I am always waking
I am always shaking
I think I know this might not end

Can I dry the cold sweat
Get out of this mess again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

Ease into a new box
Shoulder a new lot
It's gonna be a long long time
A whirlwind among breezes
Doing what he pleases again, again

Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season
Dead dreams dropping off the heart
Like leaves in a dry season

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is pure perfection. It is so beautiful. I think it is talking about realising plans were baseless and now it is time to find a new way to go about things.

It is intresting, most of laika's songs are sad, but have a small "light at the end of the tunnel" for it :)
