Breathe Today Lyrics

Cover art for Breathe Today lyrics by Flyleaf

When I listen to this song, it sounds like she is talking to atheists or non-believers. What brings me to this conclusion are the lines,

"You try your hardest to perfect your explanations You lie until they've run out of questions

You can only move as fast as those in front of you And if you assume just like them,what good will it do? So find out for yourself,so your ignorance will stop bleeding through

Only one thing Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you It's just a breath away you can breathe today breathe today"

It sounds like she is questioning an atheist on his beliefs (or a lack there of), why he just assumes there is nothing because that is what others believe and finally she tells him that there is only one thing to fill the void inside of him, God. "It's just a breathe away" seems to translate in one's asking for forgiveness of one's sins.
