Stratosphere
Airiel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, I fucked up
this song to fill my head, is too much
sky above, I've walked through
I'd never clip my wings, to see you
reach for a sky
sky above, I've looked through
I thought I'd turn my head to see you
sun above, burns right through
I'd never turn you down with all this blue





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Airiel's song Stratosphere can be interpreted in different ways, but one possible interpretation is as follows: The singer seems to be in a contemplative mood and reflecting on a past relationship that didn't work out. They admit to making mistakes that caused the relationship to end, and now they are using music as a way to cope and escape. The singer mentions the vastness of the sky and how it represents a limitless possibility, but also a sense of isolation and loneliness. They seem to long for connection and recognition from someone they love, but they also fear losing their independence and freedom. Throughout the song, there is a tension between the desire for intimacy and the fear of vulnerability, as well as a sense of regret and nostalgia for what could have been.


The lyrics are conveyed in a dreamy and ethereal atmosphere that matches the shoegaze genre of the band. The music is characterized by layers of guitars that create a wall of sound, complemented by a driving rhythm section and dreamy vocals. The overall effect is both melancholic and uplifting, as if the singer is trying to reconcile their feelings and find a way forward.

At least 70% of Airiel's Winks & Kisses is excellent! Love how this song uses tremolo and how it gets faster half-through.
