Lyric

Breathe

The Vounds

Running miles that never count

Sweat and grind, but there’s no amount

My heart is weighed down

Feeling lost, my spirit’s bound

Working hard, but it’s all in vain

Making me doubt what life is about

Burning out, tension’s peak

Let me speak, just wanna scream out loud

[Breath]

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breath out

(Yeah)

Slow down, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Stepping out, I’m gonna live my life

Step outside and feel the sun

Take a breath, my new day’s begun

Chasing paychecks, slipping through my hands

No way in hell this is the life I planned

Who do you think you’re talking to?

Am I the one you’ve been talking to?

Ugh, please behave, we’re not the same

I’m so done with this type shit

Can’t let it drag me down, not one bit

Telling my boss, I quit today

I’m my own boss now, sashay away

Text my girlfriends 'meet me at the bar'

Time to celebrate - pop that champagne spray

[Breath]

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Slow down, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Stepping out, I’m gonna live my life

[Breath]

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Slow down, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Let it go, breathe in, breathe out

(Yeah)

Stepping out, I’m gonna live my life

Artist Profile

  • The Vounds

    The Vounds are a London-formed, Tokyo-based four-piece alternative band featuring Aya (vocals), Ryo (bass), Haruka (guitar), and Tetsu (drums). Rooted in alternative rock, the band draws on its members' diverse musical backgrounds to forge a sound where post-punk attitude, indie sleaze aesthetics, alt-pop hooks, and hip-hop-driven rhythms collide. By blending raw guitars with dancefloor momentum and sharp vocal phrasing, The Vounds sit squarely at the intersection of alternative rock and club culture, equally at home in a sweaty basement venue or on a massive festival stage. This boundary-crossing approach drives bold, fluid songwriting that moves effortlessly between genres while maintaining a razor-sharp, cohesive identity. At the center of their sonic landscape is Aya's commanding and versatile vocal presence, which shifts seamlessly from husky, breath-laced intimacy to soaring high registers and rapid-fire delivery. Her performance is anchored by a tight, high-impact rhythm section and dynamic, effects-textured guitar work. That raw studio chemistry translates powerfully on stage. Defined by explosive builds, controlled tension, and an undeniable command over the crowd, their live sets are urgent, deeply physical, and impossible to ignore. Formed in London, Aya's second home, and shaped by the members' lives in Tokyo, the band beautifully embodies the duality of both metropolises. Their sound channels an indie sleaze sensibility infused with London's underground grit and Tokyo's neon precision, creating a cross-cultural identity that is vibrant, current, and primed for the global stage.
