Breathe You In

Thousand Foot Krutch

Taking hold, breaking in
The pressure's all need to circulate
Mezmorize, take it in
I'm moving slow so it resimates

It's time to rest
Not to sleep away
My thoughts alone
Try to complicate
I'll do my best to seek you out,
To be myself, and not to impersonate

I tried so hard to not walk away
And when things don't go my way
I still carry on and on just the sa-ay-ame

I've always been strong,
But can't make this happen
'cause I need to breathe
I wanna breathe you in
Fear of becoming
I'm so tired of running
'cause I need to breathe
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in

I'm going in so cover me
Your compass will help me turn the page
The laughing stock I'll never be
'cause I won't let them take me

I tried so hard to not walk away
And when things don't go my way
I still carry on and on just the sa-ay-ay-ame

I've always been strong,
But can't make this happen
'cause I need to breathe
I wanna breathe you in
Fear of becoming
I'm so tired of running
'cause I need to breathe

I took a walk to see
All the love that's around me
Through the highs and lows
There's a truth that I know
And it's you
Yeah

I've always been strong,
But can't make this happen
'cause I need to breathe
I wanna breathe you in
Fear of becoming
I'm so tired of running
'cause I need to breathe
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in
I want to, I want to
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in
I want to, I want to
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe you in
I want to, I want to
I wanna breathe you in
I wanna breathe

    General CommentWell seeing as TFK is a Christian band...I would suggest that this song is about God.

    It's time to rest
    not to sleep away
    My thoughts alone
    try to complicate
    I'll do my best to seek you out,
    to be myself, and not to impersonate

    Possibly could be talking about how hard it is to be a Christian sometimes with all the temptations of the world (sex, drugs, violence). "My thoughts alone complicate." His own thoughts are confusing him...he's looking for direction. "to be myself, and not to impersonate." he just wants to be himself, to be true to God and not become a fake, insincere, impersonation of himself.

    I'm going in so cover me
    Your compass will help me turn the page
    The laughing stock I'll never be
    'cause I won't let them take me

    He's decided to dedicate himself to God and is asking for the strength to accomplish this "cleansing" of the filth of the world. He won't "let them take me" is him deciding to be resilent againts peer pressure and influence.

    I took a walk to see
    all the love that's around me
    Through the highs and lows
    there's a truth that I know
    and it's you
    Yeah

    The truth is God, who is there through the high and lows, the ups and downs.


    So that's MY over-interpertation of the song [:

    just thought someone ought to be a christian spin on this one

I never imagined how much God could change a life, but im a walking example of how he can do anything!!! Took me a while to figure that out, This song really just brings it all out. My FAV TFK song

    General CommentThis song always brings me to tears, because it was the first song I listened the night that my ex broke up with me. The whole message of needing to "breathe God in" just hit me so hard, because while there wasn't anything wrong or immoral with the relationship, it just didn't seem to be something God wanted me involved in it.

    The line
    "I tried so hard to not walk away
    and when things don't go my way
    I still carry on and on just the sa-ay-ame"
    hits me so because the relationship didn't end the way I wanted it to, yet I still need to just rely on God, and know he's looking out for the best for me.

    General CommentMy take on the song is before he was a believer he thought he can do everything on his own thinking he wouldnt need god saying "i've always been strong"
    but he isnt strong and this song is his cry out to the lord. asking for forgivness, begging for his help.
    true he might of had a problem at one point "I tried so hard to not walk away" thats saying that he tried not to walk away from his problems but he cant cause you cant run away from your problems. and he is realizing that he need god and he will find faith in him and become stronger.

    everytime i hear this song i think about my life and how i should be a better person each day, a year ago i found what i was looking for and now im in love with god. and my heart sinks everytime i hear this song, just noticing how much of an impact god has made on my life, god is so great. and i can never run from the lord, cause when everything is lost, if im ever poor and living on the street and i have lost everything i will still have god.
    he fer sure is the greatest. i have seen a homeless man with just a bike and ratty clothes show up to a church up a 1 mile hill. i admire this man for never losing his faith. i truly love the lord

    General CommentI agree with NFGPhoenix, but I have my own interpretation on the song. Actually two:
    I personally think it's about some one who walks away from their troubles, but has finally found someone they love, someone that makes them confident enough to stand up for themselves, but are too scared to ask the other person out, to scared of rejection. And asks God if they can help.

    So yeah, it probably about God, and how he helps people survive the torture that people go through. To show them that will be better days, so if your ever going through a hard time, don't give up on your life yet, it will get better sooner or later.

    General CommentThis song gives me such strength - when I try to do things by myself for too long, and I suddenly realize I should be seeking God's help, "I've always been strong but I can't make this happen" -- the I ask God to help me in the situation "I need to breathe You in"
