I know everyone thinks this is about someone who is sick and in the hospital, I think this could be very true but personally I think the hospital references are just a metaphor for you to apply your own story. Personally I see it as giving up all your time and effort for one thing (for me dancing) and you feel like you put so much effort in and are getting nothing out and you wish that everyone would see that you are actually good and "you have come so far". You tell yourself that if you try just one more time "with feeling" and you keep working it will be worth it someday and that day is "why you fight" but it feels like the only reason you are fighting is to keep fighting.

My Interpretation

also a comment on the breathing is just a rhythm line for me its talking about all the stuff you have to give up to keep pursuing. They say breathing is necessary but its "just a rhythm" they also say sleep is necessary but I dont get any of that.
