This is surrender
To old to life I've lived
Scars and stripes forever
In need of change I can't resist
No need to hide
Anything, anymore
Can return to who I was before
I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
What it feels revived
This long of a struggle
Finally opened up my eyes
Revolution's not easy
With a civil war on the inside [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/anberlin/breathe.html ]
No need to hide
Anything, anymore
Can return to who I was before
I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
'Cuz I realized
I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
What it feels revived
I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
'Cuz I realized
I can finally breathe
Suddenly alive
I can finally move
What it feels revived
I can finally breathe
I can finally move
What it feels revived
This reminds me of when i put my faith in the lord and i felt free and alive. I think that's what anberlin is saying, that they can be free because jesus took all the sin and hurt away :)
