Breathe Lyrics

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.
