Cover art for Breath lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I know im on the way late train with this one but I just heard it and I totally love it. I agree with Artemisa - Kind-of. I think he is talking to himself. He is suffering from addiction. He sees nothing in his eyes but yet he knows he can find the fire in them if only his addicted self could sacrifice itself. The more aware he becomes of his addiction the less he likes himself. Is it over in my head means he doesnt know which will win.and let him have whats left. I know nothing of your kind - means he is in denial. He will not reveal to anyone not even himself his evil mind. Is it over yet I cant win- he feels weak and cant beat his addiction. lPouring Salt in an open wound is addiction. Is it over yet let me in- once again he feels week but after salt in the wound which hurts the most he gains confidence and demands to be let in back . Now for the chorus: sacrifice yourself - only one will prevail. let me have whats left-self explanatory. I know that I cant find the fire in your eyes his addicted self tells his true self. Im goint all the way- hes determined so get away - hes demanding - please -but still feels weak becauase addiction takes the breath right out of him and left a hole where his heart shoud be. You gotta fight just to make it through - hes gaining strenght over his addiction cause I will be the death of you. Hes going to kill his addicted self. Thats what I get. I liked tendos interpretation also.

@vickiofca that is exactly what this song is about.
