Every time i hear this song. i picture her singing it from a coffin. get it? favorite shade of black, the organ in the background, weaving a rope, suicide? my LAST letter? idk i love this song and i think she painted a very good picture and i felt like i could relate to her anguish..
To me this song is about depression (obviously), but not necessarily romantic relationships. To me it's more about friendships or relationships in general. She has a lot of people around her who love her, so why is she still sad? Why can't she cope? Why doesn't she feel good enough? She'd been doing so much better, what happened? This is like her thought process leading up to her suicide. She's talking about her suicide note and talking about the various ways she could kill herself. But most notably her funeral. At funerals, everyone says they loved whoever had died. Of course they do, that's normal. But she doesn't want to hear that they love her because if they loved her, why couldn't they see she was suffering? The use of plurals like "we", to me, feel like a coping mechanism - a way she convinces herself she's not alone. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it
You're probably reading too much into it. The use of "we" is for her lover and herself. "Maybe I was too pale, maybe I was too fat, maybe you had better, better luck in the sack." has an obvious meaning about her trying to think why their relationship ended. By the way this is definitely one of the best breakup songs I've ever heard if not the best (ahh nah, probably not, just remembered By The Grace of God). Still that's saying a lot because they're everywhere.
@@matter8138 I did think I was reading too much into it, then again, I read too much into everything lol. I dunno, maybe I'm reflecting a little bit or something! And if you ask me, there are more breakup songs out there than there are actual breakups happening, yknow?
Why are people being so rude like 'i don't like the new Katy n blah'..... Just becoz someone cuts her hair short n colour it blonde doesn't mean she has changed, gone psycho....!! May be this was in her bucket list... Stop being rude..this is her life n let her do whatever she wants to do with her body. She is a queen n I loved her since the "teenage dream" days n will love her the same always. Katy ♥️
if you only hear her single but not the album then sure, all you see is simply catchy pop song, one of the boys which is the album including this song is the same. She hide all the gold in the album, you have to dig it to find it. In teenage dream , track like "not like the movie, pearl, who am i living for" is damn amazing Prism is an album full of positivity but then there is "by the grace of god", "ghost" about her suicidal thought and failed marriage. And as you can see, the problem is no fucking one dig deep into the album, no fucking one care about these kind of songs . It was not her who doesn't make good music anymore, it's about the audience did not appreciate her music.
In my opinion this is one of her best songs! I'm not much ofa fan but I do like this song & it's morbid sense of humor. I listened to this alot when going through a 11 year horribly domestic violence relationship. I would lock myself in the bathroom and play this song. Well we did end that year but I walked out alive & never looked back.but our relationship was dead for awhile before I left .i just abounded the ship and saved myself.. And I'm still breathing !
Well done Katy for changing and moving on despite 'fans' whining about it. At keast she's doing what she wants with HER music and not selling out to pressure.
for shizzle: Well, It must have been really hard for you. You just got to be strong girl and show it to his buddies that they're wrong. Don't ever blame yourself. There's nothing wrong with you, think positively and be confident and stay good always. Smile. I say, you must be strong to cope up with this. If he's really the right one for you, no matter what happens,In the end he will still be the one for you. ^_^
@Bubblepopglitter Never Met a Popstar that is more than just a PopTart she is a true musician she fits right in to any gendre of Music. WOman is Amazing!
@camilleway look, im soo glad that you are moving on. If you need advice lemme know. i care. and if anyone else is having romantic issues lemme know because i understand. been there done that. My only point is that the man i loved in 5th grade and still love t this day hated me. Every time i think of him i wanna die. im shedding tears as i say this. I'm older now and have a bf but its not the same. if you watch katy perry's "thinking of you" you'll know how i felt.story of my life.
I remember my ex-boyfriend. my boyfriend left me because i was too happy, like i was too wild. i was too loud. everybody likes me. but my boyfriend told me it was annoying. i still love him even though he told me those hurtful things. he even told me i fooled him because he was too nice. but i love him so much, i can't do that to him :(((( uggghh sorry for sharing my story :(
i'm in love with this song, so deeply.. once respect is over and lies take place between two ppl then the relationship is cursed and the feeling is fatally flawed. when it gets to that point.. well "best abandon ship"
@LovingLazyDays in this context, "abandon ship" doesn't mean leaving a sinking ship, but aborting the mission, or ending the relationship. by saying "best abandon ship" she means it would be in their best intrests to end the relatiomnship
aww, thank you for the advice. it's so pathetic that I'm still not moving on, i'm still waiting for him. i feel stupid. but i know i can do this :) tnx again :)
it reminds about my bestfriend i loved,he was great but we been unfriends ''/ and i doesn't see him anymore and he was inl ove with me once,but he didn't want to be together and so on.....
@camilleway , I've gone through this exact same thing. My boyfriend dumped me because I was too random and I laughed too much; pretty much, because I was too happy. I still love him with my whole heart, but there's not much I can do.
Hi! I have a boyfriend whom I once thought were the best thing that's ever happened to me... We're together for 10 mths now and oh my god has he changed. He's become so blunt and boring I can't even put them to words... I honestly feel like we're dead... We almost have nothing in common where once, we used to be so in sync. So i can definitely relate to the line where Katy sang 'I'm still breathing, but we've been dead for a while' ... Maybe I put too high of an expectation on him :(
this is exactly how i feel but a little bit different meaning he doesnt care about me anymore. i kno i shouldnt care about him but i just do and i cant help it. he doesnt kno im still breathing.
honey, you're boyfriend doesn't deserve you if he thinks you are anything less than amazing. be loud. be wild. be happy. he doesn't deserve to make you this sad. keep your head up and keep going. find the guy who will love you for your wild, happy, loud self. good luck girl. you'll be fine.
my boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago....i still cant find myself moving on..i had a crush, but then i saw my ex again...and hes all that matters. but i love this song.
maybe she's just happier now but I do miss the deeply emotional and poetic songs she used to write.
One of her best songs ever
Couldn't agree with you more
"Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say that you loved me"

RaynbowRay it’s the base of it
RaynbowRay she’s said “ you’d best prepare a speech “ also it’s called I’m still breathing meaning say everything you want to say while you still can
this album its kinda hilarious in some way and I like how she set a whole funeral for a couple rupture
2018?
yeah!
Anyelia Michele nahhh it's 2043

Ugh so true!!!🥺🥺 Now is 2020...
This song did something to me! I miss the old Katy so much, not this pop shit she's doing. She's such an angel
+krys woods have you ever heard Prism? I'm sorry but that isn't pop shit, listen to Love me or choose you battles

NEVER MIND ITS ACTUALLLY A GOOD SONG

"So as I write this letter and shed my last tear.."
I dont really ask for the old Katy, at least she's a lot happier now :)
that's exactly what I'm gonna do ;DD
katy is emo 4 writing this WELCOME TO THE CLUB! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
@smilewriter94 Well done!
For some reason the sound of this song reminds me so much of The End by Blue October
IM STILL BREATHING tooo.
v~v kinda sad, it reminds me of him
@lovelilylove11 I had that kind of friend too. I find my friendship with her more like Ignorance by Paramore....
educatin
@camilleway ,
I've gone through this exact same thing. My boyfriend dumped me because I was too random and I laughed too much; pretty much, because I was too happy.
I still love him with my whole heart, but there's not much I can do.
Minha música favorita da vida
HAHAHA; briliant
This is me. right now. god, I hurt....... :'(
The real reason why I fell in love with her, I Kissed A Girl was catchy enpugh for me to find it here, still breathing.
Hi! I have a boyfriend whom I once thought were the best thing that's ever happened to me... We're together for 10 mths now and oh my god has he changed.

So i can definitely relate to the line where Katy sang 'I'm still breathing, but we've been dead for a while' ...
Maybe I put too high of an expectation on him :(
Rumor is: this song is about Matt Thiessen from Relient K. After he wrote the song "The One I'm Waiting For" about her.
this is exactly how i feel but a little bit different meaning
he doesnt care about me anymore. i kno i shouldnt care about him but i just do and i cant help it. he doesnt kno im still breathing.
this song has same vibe of teddy sinclaire song. props to both
I realy liked it!
I'm still in love with Hunter M.
but I'm still breathing without him.
FYI: On her album One Of The Boys she wrote or co-wrote all of the songs, LOOK IT UP! Think before you type! o_e
honey, you're boyfriend doesn't deserve you if he thinks you are anything less than amazing.
be loud.
be wild.
be happy.
he doesn't deserve to make you this sad.
keep your head up and keep going.
find the guy who will love you for your wild, happy, loud self.
good luck girl.
you'll be fine.
yeah but when ur in a break up, you always do move on even when you dont think you ever will
u kinda spelled maybe wrong...but still, good lyrics and great song
u tell that shit hell yeah
my boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago....i still cant find myself moving on..i had a crush, but then i saw my ex again...and hes all that matters. but i love this song.
