It's as if she's personifying a cigarette particularly when she inhales in the song and uses the lines "wrap me up" and "warm me up". Leading the listener to interpret relying on an addiction while combating self inflicted damage at the line "hurt myself again today". A very emotional song by Sia with the themes of reliance, self conflict and desperation for acceptance/comfort
Breathe Me
Lyrics
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me

What is the Meaning of Breathe Me
?
She is depressed and lonely. She feels all alone and hurts herself over and over again. She has this thought of not being good enough in the back of her mind and it destroys her. The mistakes she keeps making eat her alive. She looks to the person and wants this them to just be there for her. Not asking any questions, allowing her to unload her heart onto them. She wants this person to breath life and hope back into her heart. To have faith in her.
