My Supernatural Soundtrack Cont'd

My Supernatural Soundtrack
Breathe

Now this one doesn't exactly scream "I'll be in the next episode of Supernatural", but here is a favorite of mine. I loved it the minute I heard it a while ago, but when I applied SPN to it, i realized it can kind of fit. Music is about interpretation, right?

"Breathe(2 A.M.)" - Anna Nalick

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,

"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,

I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"

Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes

Like they have any right at all to criticize,

Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button, girl.

So cradle your head in your hands

And breathe... just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss

"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,

"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."

Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,

But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,

Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.

No one can find the rewind button, boys,

So cradle your head in your hands,

And breathe... just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,

You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out

And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again

If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song

If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,

Threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd

Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud

And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,

And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

No one can find the rewind button now

Sing it if you understand.

and breathe, just breathe

woah breathe, just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe,

Oh breathe, just breathe.

===========================

There are a few parts that resonate. The refrain:

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

And this part reminds me of a particular scene in 5x05[Fallen Idol]:
Dean: So we just go back to the way we were before?
Sam: No because we were never that way before. Before didn't work. How do you think we got here?

These line from the song just embody that scene:


There's a light at each end of this tunnel
you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around

This part here makes me think of Dean, particularly after he comes back from Hell in the fourth season and he always seems to have a bottle or something:

May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Not what it means, but what it makes me think of.
--------------------
I get the feeling from the lyrics that the song is about not being able to go back and fix our mistakes and the best we can do is look back on them, reflect, and try to do better the next time. To not make the same mistakes, I guess.
