Between Two Lungs lyrics

May 30th 2012 8:41 pm

Oddly enough, this song makes me think of two lovers, one dying, and the other one deciding to move on. When she does, she feels the breath of release "between two lungs". Wierdly, it feels to me as though the surviving person feels responsible for the death, and decides to be a better person, to live as if every breath was precious.

This song makes me think of my last hours with my nan as she died of pneumonia, she was struggling for breath but i like to think when she died her soul left her body and she was free from struggle. Gone are all the days of begging
the days of theft
no more gasping for a breath
the air filled me head to toe
and i can see the ground far below

When you meet someone you think is the love of your life, you hold your breath. Hoping it will be the answer to your prayers. But soon you realize you are still holding it. It becaomes trapped in your lungs, your body, your being. You might be free if you leave this love behind. "we are all too young to die. " meaning at the young age most people fall in love, they are really dying inside by giving so much of their breath to this other person. Finally this breath is released when you leave this person and focus on yourself. You can start to feel suffocated in a relationship, so the days of begging for forgiveness, trust, whatever it may be, are gone once you leave this obsession behind and breathe. You always pray you can keep the love going, but eventually you have to gasp for air.

To me this song symbolizes the urge to exhale the unwanted and inhale the beautiful things you've avoided to inhale because what you had inside was too much to bare with with.
The most significant parts:
"and i keep it in my chest with all my might
I pray to god this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips as i...
Gasp"

This is me gasping for the breathe i need to take live while i exhale the used, unhealthy air. And i pray to god that this new breath i'm taking lasts long.

"i am holding my breath" meaning i am keeping this love in my chest, it takes away my breath but fills me and i'm floating.

Have you felt this way before? I do.

I think this song is about making love- the intimacy and emotional feeling just as much as the physical act. I mean you could interpret the last stanza as the euphoric feeling of being love but
"i pray to god this breath will last
as it pushes past my lips as i... Gasp" makes me think orgasm- sorry if that seems crude! I love this song to bits

As we continue on our journeys, it is our own will to persevere that makes us achieve our goals. However, one cannot achieve greatness on their own. It is you that has helped me get this far. Finally, you are gone. However, what i gained from you i will carry forever.
