Breathe

What’s the song all about? ”When we did the song, it was about confrontation between Maxim and Keith. There was no deep meaning. It was like, you want to taste me, come over here and taste me. And then Maxim was like, breathe me, breathe me... It was just more of a confrontational thing between them two. When they do it on stage, that comes across really obviously. I’m not gonna sit here and try and think of some deep meaning because it just hasn’t got one. Firestarter has but Breathe hasn’t. It’s basically like a full-on, almost punk dance track. It’s kind of got the energy of our other tracks but it’s also got the edge of Firestarter in a way. When you see it live, it’s really confrontational between them two. We just wanted to get that on record and it just captured that live part of the show, you know? ” – Liam.

Psychosomatic - 'of or relating to a disorder having physical symptoms originating from mental or emotional causes rather than from an injury or illness'. EG: Influence of the mind over the body..

How does this song make you feel when you first hear it...angry?...fired up?...a bit STRESSED?

"Come play my game, i'll test ya...you're the victim"

Say no more. :o)

this song always reminds me of track meets in high school, i always listened to this song on the bus right before we stepped off the bus to get into the zone and tear some shit up

lol all the best storys end with "and i'll never do acid again..."

I love this song-it's like dangerous, raw, fast, scary, aggressive, dizzy, fun all rolled up into one.

I already know this song has no specified meaning, but I often used to think this is a song about smoking addiction.

Keith was the tobacco that tempting you:

"Breathe with me!", "Breathe the pressure" - smoking obviously is a "remedy" for people who get nerved and thus need to go for a smoke

"Come play my game I'll test ya." - Cigarretes are though to be not as addicting as drugs, but in fact, not many people "won" a game against addiction.

And Maxim was the voice of sanity:

"Psychosomatic addict, insane." - Psychosomatic, as tobacco most often addicts people mentally, not physically. Maxim appeals to smoker's self-critique, calls him an addict and insane.

"Inhale, inhale, you're the victim.", "Exhale, exhale, exhale." - not much to interpret.

This is just my opinion, of a man that likes to go for a smoke occasionally, but has seen some people that smoke everyday, even a packet a day.

AMAZING song. thats all i can say. for some reason, every time i hear this song i just wanna run out and kick someones arse. rock on.

man crazy as song every time i hear it well i just go nuts (more nuts than i am) very well not funky but crazy yes crazy is the only way to say it. FREAK OUT AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!

Lol, I always think "Breathe the pressure" when I'm getting pissed off about someone and about to smack him up. Great great song.
