Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Air I Breathe's song The Inevitable are a call to arms for anyone feeling disillusioned or marginalized by society. The powerful line "When The World Turns Its Back On You, You Turn Your Back On The Fucking World" is a powerful statement about the need to stand up for oneself in the face of adversity.


The song's verses detail the struggle of feeling trapped in a world that doesn't understand or accept you, with lines like "I am not the person I used to be / I feel as though life is slipping out of me" evoking a sense of hopelessness and despair. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope and empowerment, urging listeners to take control of their own lives and refuse to be defeated by the world around them.


Overall, The Inevitable is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong or that the world is against them. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling alone and isolated, but also reminds us that we have the strength to persevere and fight back against the forces that would bring us down.

When The World Turns Its Back On You,

You Turn Your Back On The Fucking World
