"Breathing Underwater" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place, all the time
In a world that wasn't mine to take
I'll wait
[Chorus]
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
[Verse 2]
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bow at their feet, in the end, it wasn't me
[Chorus]
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
[Bridge]
Nights are days
We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
[Chorus]
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
[Outro]
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?

I associate this song with being in a car, looking out the window as the summer scenery passes by.
"It's like trying to touch the bottom of a swimming pool with a lifejacket on."
This song reminds me of how someone described living with certain cognitive disabilities/impairments (in my case I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, all which I vehemently denied for a long time, but finally have accepted and am trying to figure out how to live with them).
The first time I heard this on the radio, I knew it was Metric right away.
I freaking love her voice.
She certaily does have a great voice.
real truth to that
I was abused in my early childhood and don’t remember much now. I can remember one halloween, my uncle and aunt took only me out of all my siblings to trick or treat. I was in the back seat squished between two baby seats. My cousins must of been 3 and 1 then. I remember this song playing and my uncle driving in circles of the rich neighborhood and all of us in the backseat pretending we were on a roller coaster.
I never was able to find this song until now. I’m an adult and haven’t seen my cousins in a while but i’m happy to have found this song and relived this memory.
They can take our bodies…but they cannot touch our souls unless we let them. In that, we hold the power…as do you! It was a bad moment. It sucks. I know. But remember, if you dwell on it they win. It is past. Let it die there and be despite it!
"They were right, we should never meet our heros". I like that lyric a lot.
Sixty year old me loves it, also!
This song gives me nostalgia, I remember my childhood memories hearing this song. All those good times, this is one of the few songs that really make me wish I can go back to the good old days. 😔💕
Good Ole Day! Wait till your at least 60 for that! I get your point, though!!
😂😂❤❤
"they were right when they said we should never meet our heroes" omg. That line! :")
Indie music is truly for the Music Lovers. I love it!
Everything works in this song:
The driving bass line, the staccato drumming, lead guitar and Emily's breathy lyrics.
I played this song endlessly on roadtrip, often grinding along at 150 kmph before catching myself.
I think its a wonder that I can listen to this song 40-50 times a day and STILL get as giddy as I did when I first heard it...METRIC is some good stuff.
Damn, their music gives me LIFE!
yes sir
They were right when they said we should never meet our heros
🙏 amen
So true. I photographed a ton of rock stars for a magazine and lemme tell ya, some of my faves were complete as**oles.
You know a lot of bands after they release a few albums start drying up. They can't come up with cool new ideas but these guys are strong, they just keep pumping out the cool new songs. What a great group, love these guys
I can't get enough of this band!
Richard Bowman Its a breath of fresh air
her voice so good ... :) and the band plays the perfect music for her voice...
gold and the 5th Metric album in my collection. Thumbs up if you still play "Grow up and Blow Away"
Most people at my school are into Lmfao Katy Perry Justin Bieber etc... But im IN LOVE with Metric....did I mention im 11...yeah...
I can see the end, ahhhhhh - i sing that part and my moms like shut up
Who can listen and not sing along lol
The fact this is a 10 year old comment with only 1 other reply besides myself is crazy. The nostalgia that you’ll get when you read this comment will probably be wild. Hope your still jamming to this masterpiece
Aaaahhhhhhhhh😄
thumbs up if listening to the radio brought u here
I first heard this song after spending a week in the wilderness in Upper Ontario on Lake Superior, kayaking between islands. Such a beautiful song. I was missing my wife so much and really wanted to see her very much. Little did I know that she was going to ask for a divorce when I returned. Setting me on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. A lot of pain, tears and joy . Funny how you think your life is going to play out one way, but then it becomes something quite different. Even better.
That's horrible. Hope it's gotten better for you man!
I remember the exact era of my life when I first found this song, I felt like such a cool kid, I felt like I was finally beginning to find the REALLY cool music. And I was right.
Emily Haines' voice is one of the most purely calming things I think I've ever heard in musical form. On this song, and quite a few others I've heard, she sounds like an AI calling out to us from the future, telling us that they've seen how it ends, whatever it is, and that everything is going to be okay.
Is this my life OOOOOOHHHHHHHH, am I breathing underwater?
Aw.. This song reminds me of summer 2012! I listened to it all summer of 2012! :P
I love all songs who portray strength and endurance while maintaining happiness thru the tears after all were only human!
Metric has some of my favourite songs to just calmly listen to. This just started playing on the radio as I’m driving through Ontario, and it just feels so nice and calming to listen to, especially while surrounded by a beautiful forest. I also haven’t heard this for a few years, and it just brought back some great memories of listening to it.
This song is perfect. Metric has always been perfect.
This song follow me in my therapy hope it can do
The same this time
Merci
Wow. I remember listening to Metric when I just started college. Still got the some feelings I felt when I first heard this song :)
You're absolutely right, there is also the "breathing under water" bit that could make reference to Hazel's lungs.
Amo a Metric ❤. Lima, Perú tb la ama
Ils ont fait une version accoustique au show de Pénélope McQuade et c'était SUPER.!!!
They made an accoustic version of this song on the Pénélope McQuade program in french cbc/ RC(radio Canada) And it was SUPER!!!!
Hear the words very calmly. Happy moments, sad moments.
This band is so amazing - emotional powerhouse soundtrack for my life. Thanks Metric!!
I wanna thank Metric for all they have done, you guys have been so inspiring to me, all your music is so amazing, i don't have a song i don't like from METRIC!!!!
No Metric without Emily.No Emily without Metric.Altogether my love.
Wicked song, sounds good with the volume cranked up. Good job!!!!!
Different from old metric, but good!
Is this my life? Am I breathing, underwater...? My life
I fail to understand how someone could ever dislike this song.
What a song! My system just won't play it loud enough! Only 600 watts. Looking forward to ACL 2012.
reminds me of my baptism many moons ago.
a split second, yet eternity.
hope i get to see metric this year.
maybe the last summer ever.
Metric all the way guise
