breathe in now Lyrics

I see love and beauty all around, I also see the sadness that's embedded in your frown
I wonder why you choose not to talk to those around, I sense a fear of lifting heavy feet
higher than you want to, I just want to believe your truth...

you stand there but you do not cast a shadow, you walk away with every word you choose not to say
I suppose that moving on paints a new colour for each day, I don't like to see
dreams put on the shelf, to deal with on that one day, I just want to be happy for you

'cause I only have one second, this minute today
I can't press rewind and turn it back and call it now
and so this moment, I just have to sing out loud
and say I love I like and breathe in now
and say I love I live and breathe in now

I move on holding on to what I learn, it's time to move on from the notion
that the whole world's against me
break free of shackles that formed young, time free in now
and now I know, it's not all up to me, I can count on another
so move on lighter and be free ....

'cause I only have one second, this minute today
I can't press rewind and turn it back and call it now
and so this moment, I just have to sing out loud
and say I love I like and breathe in now
and say I love I live and breathe in now

I believe in for today I just want to know that you're okay
cause I believe in breathing just for today
I just want to know that you're okay....

'cause I only have one second, this minute today
I can't press rewind and turn it back and call it now
and so this moment, I just have to sing out loud
and say I love I like and breathe in now
and say I love I live and breathe in now
and say I love I live and breathe in now

To me its talking of losing someone who was close to you. You can't see why you're not as close and this upsets you, then half way through the song is the realisation that there are other people around you too and you have to focus on what you have and not what you dont. Keep going forwards and don't dwell in the past.

brilliant song. to me it's all about procrastination, and isolation. living for the moment. 'i dont like to see dreams put on the shelf', also she tells about herself 'i believe in for today', 'i cant press rewind' , ' i only have this one second'. I think shes worried about someone who needs to stop procrasinating. 'i just want to know youre ok' breathe in now, you're alive, do it now, dont put your dreams elsewhere for tomorrow.....

it's a pretty song

Cover art for breathe in now lyrics by George

i listened to this heaps after i lost someone, and i think it is about someone who has died. you stand there but you do not cast a shadow. but then i wonder if it's about someone who just never makes an impression, never speaks their mind.... i really have no idea! i'll stick with the lost someone bit.

it's hard to analysize songs you haven't written yourself and when it comes to this song i think everyone brings there own experiences to it and there isn't one clear cut meaning. this song helps me unwind after a shit-filled week or day. it makes me cry and makes me smile. for me it's about believing in yourself and that you can't go back and change the past but you have a certain amount of control over the future, you just have to find the courage to step forward and make something of it.

i also (after reading the lyrics again) think the song is about someone who has physcological problems ie Anorexia or even someone who has/ tried to commit suicide. About losing a friend... seeing their downward spiral and not being able to do anything about it...

Cover art for breathe in now lyrics by George

yeh! go unky ruly! i so think the same as u!...but also i think there is still that whole "live life now" type attitude comin thru..i like that..i love george! they are an inspiration to me...their vocals are captivating and pierce right thru me every time i listen to every one of their songs...ok i'm being real corny now! :) ;)

Cover art for breathe in now lyrics by George

this song is so beautiful.. and i know many people have said it is about problems and suicide etc.. but i think it really has a message of hope as well.. about her recognising the beauty in the world everywhere at the same time as people are hurting.. and yep, i agree, a real live in the moment type song.. so divine.
