harder to Breath lyrics:
(Maroon 5)
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable?
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step, 'cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This double vision I was seein' is finally clear
Want to stay, but you know very well, I want you gone
Not fit to fu- tread the ground that I am walkin' on
When it gets cold outside, and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean
When I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better, you never listened to a word I said
Clutchin' your pillow and writhin' in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody, someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean
When I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Said, is there anyone out there?
'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
Said, is there anyone out there?
Does it kill? Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn that it's me that has all the control?
Does it thrill? Does it sting?
When you feel what I bring, and you wish that you had me to hold
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean
When I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Said, is there anyone out there?
'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe, no, no, yeah
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe, yeah
What is the meaning of harder to breathe by Maroon 5?
According to the album's title, several of the tracks are about Adam Levine's ex-girlfriend Jane.
Adam is wondering aloud how his ex-lover could accuse him of "inappropriate conduct" when he believes the accuser is at fault.
This kind of hypocritical role reversal is typical in failed relationships, in which one partner blames the other for the couple's problems.
"When you look at me now... It's difficult to move along."
Adam admits he has questioned why he has remained with this girl, and that he and she may have just been interested in one other for sexual reasons.
It's very uncommon for people to give in to sexual cravings, only to regret their actions afterwards.
Alternative meaning:
It's easy to see that this is a love song... But Jane isn't the subject of this song at all.
It may seem over the top but the label is the other aspect of the track.
The band felt pressure from their record company to produce a set number of songs and release an album.
According to Levine, the record company was suffocating them.
This is a common motif in the music industry - as seen in Meg Thee Stallion's Awful Record Deal!
