[Verse 1]
This ainât a song, itâs more like a note to self
A reminder to me that I need balance
âcause Iâm always working, planninâ projects and preppinâ
Stressinâ over the state of this world and how we affect it
This is part of the gift, the energy that Iâm blessed with
But if you overuse them, then you will blunt your own weapons
How ever much you train, muscles only grow when you rest âem
Yet I donât make enough time to stop and pause for reflection
Go and check my mum, talk about nothing much
On a sunny day, sit in the park, stare at the sun
Feed the ducks, ride a bike, shit sit in a tree
Anything to escape the stress that the city will breed
Lucky enough, that what I love is my livinâ
I know that thatâs rare so chillinâ just feels like sinninâ
But itâs not, take your time, you ainât gotta say sorry
If youâre always exhausted, you canât help anybody
[Chorus]
Through all the work and the wages, bills and the tax
Through all the stress and the payments and the [?]
Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach
Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts
We gotta kick back, make time to relax
Gotta kick back, make time to relax
Gotta kick back, make time to relax
Kick back, make time to relax
[Verse 2]
Youâre not paranoid, things really are designed
To offer you absolutely no peace of mind
Maybe thatâs the price to be paid âcause weâre complicit in suffering all over this world that we are living in
Cars and the clothes, everything we consume
Still painted in the suffering of colourful hues
So weâre tainted by the nothingness of what weâll choose
But overwhelmed by the lack of change if we refuse
So we all watch the so called news
And see their views of a bunch of mass murderers paraded as true
Enough to turn anything in person to a lunatic
Maybe thats what we already are âcause we are used to it
But in the midst of all this
Thereâs a bliss that youâre missing
Silent moments, one that you love quietly kissinâ
Starinâ at the stars, realising that ours is just a world among billions of worlds that weâll never know
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Just take a moment to breathe, is what Iâm sayinâ
Breathe deep till the air in your chest is all the way in
Let it out slowly, feel the tension erodinâ
Listen to the music [?] before you compose it
Just take a moment to breathe and take stock
You ainât that important, wars will not stop if you do not
But health and longevity depends on balance between yin and yang
And so far I just havenât
Made enough time to breathe and just chill
Keep still
They ainât lyinâ when they say stress kills
So breathe before you punch someone in the mouth
Breathe deep before you push out and tear down the house
Breathe before you hurt yourself and your health
Maybe cliché but it really is our true source of wealth
Breathe - essence of life and of the universe
Weâve done it from birth yet we doubt that it really works
[Chorus]
