I Need Air
Angela Hunte & Magnetic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Electrify my body
And you're making me feel like I'm so electric
Everything you do is making me blow-blow-blow
Don't know what to do about it
Can't seem not to live without it
All I wanna do is just know-know-know
And now my atmosphere is crowded
And you being here is making me blow-blow-blow
You penetrate my space
And now I'm looking outta place
And you're making it hard for me, I need air
I breathe air
I breathe air
I breathe air
I breathe air
Kaleidoscope of colors that you bring to me
You're freaking out my energy
I'm losing and you're making me low-low-low
Don't know what to do about it, you and I can't live without it
All I wanna do is just go-go-go
You smother my emotions
Now I'm driving in your ocean
And I'm running and I'm feeling like I don't care
Penetrate my space
And now you're looking outta place
'Cause you're making this hard for me, I need air
I breathe air
I breathe air
And you're taking my air
I breathe air
I breathe air
Making my body so erotic
It's making my body so erotic
I breathe air
I breathe air
You penetrate my space
And now I'm looking outta place
And you're making it hard for me, I need air
I breathe air (I breathe air)
I breathe air
Yeah,
I breathe air
Can you feel it, yeah
I breathe air
And you're taking my air
Yeah,
Air
And you're taking my air
Yeah,
(I need air)
And you're taking my air
The song "I Need Air" by Angela Hunte and Magnetic Man could be interpreted as a lover's plea for space and breathing room within the confines of a relationship. The opening lines "Electrify my body and you're making me feel like I'm so electric" suggest that the singer is intoxicated by their partner's presence, but this quickly devolves into a feeling of suffocation as they sing "You suffocate my mind and now my atmosphere is crowded." The chorus repeats the title phrase "I need air" to reinforce this sense of claustrophobia, as if the singer is struggling to draw a breath in the midst of their lover's overwhelming presence.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a turn towards depicting a more physical and sensual relationship, with lines like "Making my body so erotic, it's making my body so erotic." This could be seen as a solution to the tension and lack of breathing room in the earlier part of the song, suggesting that the lovers need to find a balance between being suffocated and being overwhelmed by their physical attraction to each other.
Overall, "I Need Air" is a lyrically rich and complex song that explores the many facets of romantic relationships and the pitfalls that can arise from being too close or too distant from one's partner.
