| | Breathe (2 AM) Lyrics Artist(Band):Anna Nalick
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake? I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season" Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason 'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, girl. So cradle your head in your hands And breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss "Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year." And here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him. maybe I'll just sing about it. 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, boys So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe, just breathe Oh breathe, just breathe There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout 'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out and These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around. 2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, its no longer inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd 'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, now Sing it if you understand, and breathe, just breathe oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe If you find some error in Breathe (2 AM) Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Breathe (2 AM) Can't think of a title...(: | Reviewer: Sammy | 11/4/09 I think that this song is deep and calming, it gives everyone something to see in it, because in some way every situation has it's own relation to this song, I love this song! It's gotten me threw the hardest of times. I think the first verse could be about rehab or abortion, er something along those lines. Second verse is obviously about alcohol. Third & So on; Realization and acception. I think she gave up trying to run away, when she knows there is no way to get away from any of it. 2nd Verse | Reviewer: Beth | 7/24/09 Fort Bliss is a real Army base, Alcholism is a rapent problem in the military, often when soldiers get deployed they come back with varying degrees of PTSD or post traumatic stess disorder and the alcholism often times only becomes worse, PTSD is a serious problem and a lot of guys wind up getting out on it so the second verse could vary well be about a soldier or former soldier she knows and how between the PTSD and the alcholism the boy is never happy and its just a shame Slightly Confused.... | Reviewer: NO-Name | 2/23/09 All right, here's what I think of it: first verse: A girl who fell for a guy that had some drug problems, and, when they "walk through the doors", it's a alcohol support group, (follow?) but first she says she doesn't love him. THEN, the second verse, it's talking about him and his alcohol problem, and the songwriter is talking about how he can't rewind time. And, the "mistakes" are all the drugs he's been doing. At the end, when she's talking about how it's her diary, it really is her diary. The Girl at the beginning is the songwriter's friend, who was dating a guy who had drug problems. And she was still awake at two A.M. writing about it all. That's how I took it. mac | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/26/09 This song is not about abortion or alcoholism in peticular, it's about the strugles we all face in life whether we're girls or boys and no matter who we are, we all share the same feelings sometime. She's using different stories to express her inner emotions which is her "diary" and she does the best she can but because they are just examples of situations in which people may feel helpless she know's that it may not be easy to understand and people will read whatever they wnt into it. Breath.. Abortion? | Reviewer: Ashley | 1/13/09 Me and my friend somehow brought up the subject of this song today, it got me thinking. I agree, i think that the first stanza is about a girl going to an abortion clinic, although, the first time i heard it i took the first stanza as just another mistake a girl made, i guess i didn't dig deeper. No i understand, so this girl walks into the abortion clinic, and all the people are looking at her wierd, even thought they're all there for the same reason, and she's embarrased to be there, but shouldn't be because the people who see her are there too. Okay, when she say "she calls me because i'm still awake", it's her contimplating herself and the mistake she made inside her head, not actually getting a call... and of course the second part is alcholism. I just never connected the two, but i do see how they could be related. The song can be taken various ways, and that's why i think so many people find little ways to relate to it. Overall, one of the best songs ever. New spin | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/09 Let me give a whole new spin on what I think this song is about. I think she is getting a divorce and they are walking into the court room. Someone said that Fort Bliss is a generic base camp, but it is real. Fort Bliss is a United States Army post in the U.S. states of New Mexico and Texas. In the song she said (May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year") I think she has a abusive husband..... He starting drinking at 21 and his fist ain't been sober. the song and abortion | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/20/08 I think the 1st verse is about abortion, and the second alcoholism. And to me its saying that you cant run from pregnancy by having an abortion. In the line "your just as far in as you'll ever be out" I take it as you are a mother now and nothing can change that, no matter if the baby is dead or alive. In the line "these mistakes that you've made you'll just make them again, if you only try turning around" means to me if you never face the consequences of your actions you will continue to make mistakes. And basically the same meaning for the alcoholism, just change the situation from abortion to facing your problems with using. my take was abortion as well | Reviewer: anon. | 11/6/08 I always thought the first verse was about abortion, i never really related the first and second verses to eachother but some of these reviews make sense of it. This is mine and my best friends song. "2am and she calls me cos I'm still awake, can you help me unravel my latest mistake- I don't love him" story of our lives really. This song is amazing. deep | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/5/08 I think this song is even deeper then we think it is, cause abiously anna have her part in the story, like when she was still awake at 2am when her freind called her, or when she uses 'we' in the 1'st verse :"Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes" and at the last verse she admits that by singing the song she feels like she's naked in front of the crowd, like she's confessing her darkest secret or something. so the song may be about one of her freinds going through the obortion stuff, but anna have a biggest role in the story that I still can't quite figure out yet.. OMG i love this song!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/9/08 i don't think verse 1 (obviously abortion) and verse 2(a drunken guy anna always see's on the coner or where-ever) are related. i think she is just telling diffrent stories. But if they are related, I can see how it would relate (him being the father who still loves her) Awesome song. I love it... it's great especially when your're feeling down and need to shout or sing it all out!
