The song has nothing to do with committing suicide. That's the thing with people who don't understand Christianity. I don't mean to go on a bashing spree, but you people need to realize that in Christianity, the battles between good and evil are purely SPIRITUAL. When you read lyrics about a Christian song, everything, EVERYTHING has to do with the spirit. When death and destruction are described, it is a SPIRITUAL meaning. The fact that Christianity is focused on the spirit is what separates it from other beliefs. Any Christian or non-Christian that thinks when they speak of death as a physical meaning knows nothing. It is all spiritual.
That aside, the song is about falling away from God. He is in a desperate situation, NOT suicidal. His life is fading away, and he is crying to God in desperation to breath His life into him, because he wants to believe. My favorite line would have to be, "And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain," Because that completely describes me. I always hide my anguish and my sorrow. I never speak of my sins because I am so ashamed of it. So, I pretend nothing is wrong, and it tears me apart inside.
actually, it could be read into with the suicide. i interpret it as you are on your last resort. and if God doesn't do something, show you something, you may take your own life

I use the analogy of a flashlight in a dark closet. The Holy Spirit of course being the flashlight. When the light is turned on it OBLITERATES the darkness. Breathe into me is him crying out to God to breathe "the breath of life" into him. Correct everything in Christianity is spiritual. Suicide? spritual. murder? spiritual. Lying? spiritual.death? spiritual. It ALL comes back to the fact that we NEED to be reborn, the breath of life ONLY Jesus can offer or provide. BREATHE INTO ME is a cry for REDEMPTION, RESTORATION, RENEWAL....... LIFE !!!

@ex nihilo Although this is a Christian song, and yes it means what you say it does 100% but however like @insanelove it can be put into different contexts.
