Air
All Star Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That wants me to beware tonight
There's something in the air
There's music in the breeze
I never saw the stars so bright
There's something in the air
That's real as you, I've been blind
But now I realize what love can do
I feel it everywhere
So whisper you'll be mine tonight
There's something in the air
The lyrics of All Star Orchestra's song "Air" speaks about the feeling of the character towards someone he is attracted to. It is clear that there is a certain danger to the person he is interested in, yet there is something in the air that stimulates his senses. The portion of the lyrics that specifically refers to this is, "There's something in the air that wants me to beware tonight, there's something in the air." The character clearly feels incredibly drawn to this person, so much so that they even hear music in the breeze and see the stars brighter. Despite the danger he feels from this person, he is willing to risk it all because of the power of love.
The lyrics speak to the themes of attraction, danger, and the risks people take in order to be with the ones they love. The lines "though I find there's danger in your eyes that's real as you, I've been blind, but now I realize what love can do" perfectly illustrate this concept. The character has been blinded by the person's presence and now realizes that love is truly powerful enough to risk it all. The lyrics leave a lot of room for interpretation, but it is clear that there is a powerful sense of love and attraction at play in this song.
