The Tragic Life of Queen Ravenna - Breath Of Life | Florence + the Machine

Breath Of Life, 2012

<blockquote>I was looking for a breath of life

A little touch of heavenly light


But all the choirs in my head sang “no”.


To get a dream of life again

A little vision of the start and the end


But all the choirs in my head sang “no”.



But I only needed one more touch

Another taste of heavenly rush


And I believe, I believe it so.


And I only needed one more touch

Another taste of divine rush


And I believe, I believe it so.


Whose side am I on?
Whose side am I?

Whose side am I on?
Whose side am I


And the fever began to spread.

From my heart down to my legs


But the room is so quiet

oh


And although I wasn't losing my mind

It was a chorus so sublime

But the room is too quiet

Oh (I believe it)


I was looking for a breath of life

A little touch of heavenly light

But all the choirs in my head sang “no”.

(I believe it)


To get a dream of life again

A little vision of the start and the end


But all the choirs in my head sang “no”...



(Choir)
And the fever dream of life.
And the chorus so sublime.
And the room was so quiet.



Ha oh...


It's a harder way
And it's come to claim her

And I've always said
We should be together

I can see below
'Cause there's something in here

And if you are gone
I will not belong here

And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasn't the end
And the room is so quiet; oh

And my heart is a hollow plain
For the devil to dance again
And the room is too quiet; oh

I was looking for a breath of life
A little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang “no”...</blockquote>


Context '..the .. uncertainty of the human species..'

<blockquote>'..everyone’s longing to be confirmed by others for what he is or even for what he can become, and on the other hand the potential aptitude, innate in everyone, to provide this confirmation with others.

Confirmation which surpasses essentially the simple existential affirmation.

That such an aptitude has been left fallow to such a considerable extent, constitutes the real weakness and uncertainty of the human species: “Real humanity only exists where this capacity can be fulfilled.”*'
