Missing
Airs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Partying all night long
Sleeping around
Waking up so late
Missing the light of the day
The light of the day
Mixing bad people
Arguing with friends
Getting so much stress ,getting so much stress,
Getting so much stress, getting so much stress
Missing the light of the day
The light of the day
Missing the light of the day
The light of the day
Partying all night long, partying all night long,
Partying all night long,




Sleeping around, sleeping around, sleeping around
Waking up so late, waking up so late, waking up so late

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Air's song "Missing" describe a person who is trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior. The singer parties all night long, sleeps around, and wakes up late, missing the light of day. They mix with bad people, argue with friends, and experience immense stress. It's clear that this lifestyle is taking a toll on the singer, as they repeat the phrase "getting so much stress" multiple times. The repetition of "missing the light of the day" serves to emphasize the idea that the singer is lost in the darkness of their own actions.


The message of the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of indulging in unhealthy behavior. The singer's experiences highlight the consequences of such behavior, with feelings of isolation and emptiness being palpable throughout the lyrics. The song is a reminder that pleasure-seeking without regard for personal well-being can lead to a hollow existence.
