 Blue Jay’s Rating: 5 out of 5 Notes ♪♪♪♪♪

In the interview “The Making of Colour the Small One,” artist Sia discusses the meaning behind the song: “Breathe Me is about feeling worried, generally anxious. Being overwhelmed by your own inner dialogue and having some sort of conniption fit and then potentially doing yourself some harm, and then asking for help.”

The original video is quite creative and perfectly conveys Sia’s personal story regarding anxiety and loneliness, however Universal Music doesn’t like embedding: Original Video

Breathe Me

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is,
There’s no one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
