Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Tu Respires” by Superbus
Tu Respires is a song about unrequited love and the difficulty of finding the courage to tell someone how you feel. The singer recounts how they watch the object of their affection from afar, wishing they had the courage to tell them how they feel but being so scared of rejection that they end up just keeping their feelings to themselves. The song speaks of the beauty and the want of the other person, but also of the fear of risking it all and having to face the potential heartache if it all falls apart. The chorus expresses the frustration of wishing to be able to breathe freely and feel a sense of peace, despite knowing that it probably won’t come any time soon. It’s a beautiful but heartbreaking anthem for anyone who’s experienced the feeling of loving someone from afar, never daring to express it for fear of rejection.
