Breathe Deeper

Tame Impala's song "Breathe Deeper" is a vibrant blend of psychedelic pop and introspective lyrics that invites listeners to embrace self-confidence and unity. The artist, known for his lush soundscapes and reflective themes, delves into the idea of self-assurance and the power of togetherness in this track. The repeated affirmations of 'believe me, I can' serve as a mantra for both the singer and the listener, suggesting that whatever doubts or challenges one faces, they have the strength to overcome them.

The chorus, 'Breathe a little deeper, should you need to come undone / And let those colors run,' encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the full spectrum of their emotions. This message is amplified by the psychedelic musical style of Tame Impala, which often features swirling melodies and a sense of expansiveness that can feel like a sonic representation of 'letting colors run.' The song's groove, described as slow, adds to the hypnotic and calming effect, reinforcing the theme of taking things at one's own pace and finding solace in music.

The latter part of the song touches on the idea that despite being adults, there's a childlike aspect to the way we experience joy and connection. The lyrics 'We're both adults but we behave like children / Long as we got enough to keep on livin'' suggest a simplicity and purity in finding happiness and contentment in the moment, as well as in the connections we share with others. The song ends with a sense of continuity, 'Till the mornin',' implying that this state of unity and self-belief is something to be carried into the future, beyond the present moment.
