Lines like “I fell in way too deep” and “the voices in my head, they keep me up, I’m losing sleep” let the listener into the hard time that the narrator is going through. He is in over his head, unable to focus, sleep, or even breathe easily. Unfortunately, this is an all too common experience. Whether you are dealing with stress, loss, heartbreak, or a multitude of other heavy emotions, it can feel impossible to take in a full breath and have a moment of peace. The vulnerable lyrics in this song make it clear that you are not alone, while the emotion in the vocal tugs at your heart, and the intense beat fills your soul.
The unrelenting drums, tense electric guitars, and thrumming bass paint a captivating landscape, matching the difficult, yet unshakeable, resolve that the narrator has to just keep moving forward. An electric guitar solo takes the listener through the end of the song, upping the tension and making “Hard to breathe” feel like a high energy, live performance no matter where you are listening from.
