How Does It Make You Feel?
Air Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am feeling very warm right now
Please don't disappear
I am spacing out with you
You are the most beautiful entity that I've ever dreamed of

At night I will protect you in your dreams
I will be your angel
You worry so much about not having enough time together
It makes no difference to me
I would be happy with just one minute in your arms
Let's have an extended play together
You're telling me that we live too far to love each other
But our love can stretch farther than the eye can see
So how does this make you feel?

How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?

Do you know that when you look at me, it is a salvation?
I've been waiting for you so long
I can drive on that road forever
I wish you could exist to live on my planet
Well it's very hard for me to say these things in your presence
So how does this make you feel?

How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?

So how does this make you feel?





Well, I really think you should quit smoking

The idea that distance cannot hinder their love indicates the deep commitment the singer feels towards their beloved.


The chorus repeats the question "How does it make you feel?", indicating the singer's desire to know if their confession of love is received and if the feelings are mutual.

Regardless of how deep your love and thoughts are, they mean nothing if the person on the other end does not have the same understanding. This is what makes this song so special.

@ricarleite

I used to listen to this over and over and over when this album came out in 2001, usually commuting from my job. It has been almost 20 years now. Where did time go?

@FordCosworth

Has gone round and is returning on the other side

@benji0093

"Nothing lasts but nothing is lost."

Something some dude said which I think was cool

@ladeflo7925

I love this comment

@76boromir

It's the kind of song that can be haunting, eerie, off putting in some way, but at the same time strangely beautiful, invitefull, peacefull and emotional.

@RRRRussia
