Tak lama setelah merilis lyric video untuk “Still Breathing” di bulan September, kali ini Green Day mengemas lagu itu dengan sebuah video klip yang sangat inspiratif.
Lirik lagu Green Day – Still Breathing
I’m like a child looking off in the horizon
I’m like an ambulance that’s turning on the sirens
Oh I’m still aliveI’m like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Oh I’m still alive
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away, away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you
I’m like a junkie tying off for the last time
I’m like a loser that’s betting on his last dime
Oh I’m still aliveI’m like a son that was raised without a father
I’m like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh I’m still alive
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a line into the wreckage
So far away, away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away, away…
As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I’ve been running all my life
Just to find a home that’s for the restless
And the truth that’s in the message
Making my way away, away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away, away…
‘Cause I’m still breathing
‘Cause I’m still breathing on my own
My head’s above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you
Ide dibalik penulisan lagu Still Breathing, vokalis Billie Joe Armstrong mengungkapkan bahwa lagu ini memiliki makna tentang kehilangan sesuatu – kecanduan obat terlarang – masalah keluarga – etc.;
“It’s about losing something…where the chaos of life makes sense. Life isn’t perfect, it’s better than that. I you can survive through some of this stuff, you find out who you really are, whether its drug addiction, losing a family member or dealing with somebody who has some serious personality issues. It goes from the life of a junkie and a gambler to the life of a single mother to the life of a soldier…[it’s about] how we’re all intertwined with that…its universal.”
