In The Air Tonight
(Hard covers of fucking pops) - Nonpoint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
The song "In the Air Tonight" by Nonpoint is a cover of Phil Collins' classic song, which is known for its haunting melody and enigmatic lyrics. The song begins with a mysterious statement, "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord," which sets the stage for the rest of the song. The singer then reveals that he has been waiting for an event in his life for a long time and can sense that it is about to happen.
The second stanza of the song takes a darker turn as the singer confronts someone who he claims has been deceitful. He implies that he has proof of the person's misdeeds and that he will not be offering any help. This confrontation serves to underscore the tension that is hinted at in the first stanza.
The final stanza of the song serves to tie together the different threads of the story. The singer remembers the last time he met the person he is confronting and notes that there is a reason why they keep their silence up. The verse ends with the tragic realization that both the singer and the person he is confronting are no strangers to pain.

Nonpoint is probably the most underrated band I've ever heard, with Sevendust a close second.
Ava Collins
Sevendust is leagues ahead of nonpoint it's not even close
Ryan Axtell
Nonpoint couldn't hold sevendust nuts. Facts
Goner
People use the word underrated too much, it has no meaning anymore. This band was signed by a major label, have about a dozen of albums and their own record label. They are properly rated.
Robert Martinez
No doubt Nonpoint is a great band , underrated is not a correct description for them. Signed by a major label and have a plethora of albums , but Sevendust is a whole different monster.

2022 and this is still a badass cover. It does stay true to the original but it also has its own unique sound.

The gorgeous thing about this cover is that it expands on the thematic tonal motifs and enhances them. It's so much more than the original

I just heard this cover for the first time on SiriusXM a couple weeks ago, and thought it was a phenomenal take on it, but never realized how long it's been floating around.
