Breathe Life Lyrics
And it begins anew, the hatred of mankind.
As it seeks to kill that which lives inside.
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death.
Held down by bonds that bind us, we breathe our final breath.
And it begins anew, the burning we endure.
As we seek the strength, strength to break the bonds.
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death.
No more condemnation, we fight for our last breath.
Breathe life for you are not alone.
Breathe life inside your heart of stone.
From dust you were born, and to the ashes you return.
Break the bonds.
As it seeks to kill that which lives inside.
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death.
Held down by bonds that bind us, we breathe our final breath.
As we seek the strength, strength to break the bonds.
Now we are dying, dying the slowest death.
No more condemnation, we fight for our last breath.
Breathe life inside your heart of stone.
Break the bonds.

I think there are some strong christian overtones in here, as with many KsE songs.
All the screamed vocals, I believe explore what life is like for those who do not know God and do not feel the inner peace of a christian. Not neccesarily how it feels, but how life will end up: 'dying the slowest death'.
I believe the clean, melodic vocals show how life is and will end up for christians, and it generally just concisely explores the idea of peace and simply breathing in calmly, knowing that you're not alone.
The blunt, final fate of non-believers is conveyed in the bridge section 'from dust you were born, into the ashes you'll return'

The tracks message is one of empowerment, reminding us that even in times of utmost turmoil to remember that we are not alone.

Man, Howard Jones is a big Black God of Rock, or something...
This song, kicks me in the nads, every time I listen to it.
It seems to me, that Howard is talking about how humanity has this kind of self-preservation instinct, which hsa been sharpened to the point that we now act completely in our own best interests, and that this is basically the reason we are fucked as a species, and that the only way out is to take a look at each other, to "breath life" and experiance each other, anew.

killer solo. awesome, balls to the wall song with actual depth. killswitch is "breathing life" into metalcore with songs like these and albums like AOJB and the newest "The End of Heartache."
this band has taken metal to a bigger level so much louder and more riffs to bang our heads on
adam and howard
