air
Anthony Ventura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could make a wish I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
Sleep, silent angel go to sleep

Sometimes all I need
Is the air that I breathe
And to love you

Sometimes all I need
Is the air that I breathe
And to love you

Sometimes all I need




Is the air that I breathe
And to love you

Overall Meaning

The Air That I Breathe by Anthony Ventura is a melancholic yet hopeful song that speaks of the importance of loving someone and how it can be enough to sustain oneself. The opening line, "If I could make a wish I think I'd pass," implies that the singer has all they need, and if given the opportunity to wish for something more, they would not know what to ask for. The following lines go on to list the things that the singer does not need, such as cigarettes, sleep, light, sound, or books. These things are unnecessary because they have someone to love and to be loved by.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you," emphasizing that the love they share with their partner is the only thing they truly need to feel content and at peace. This becomes especially evident when the singer says, "Making love with you has left me peaceful warm and tired, what more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired." Here, the act of being intimate with their partner has left the singer feeling fulfilled and happy, solidifying the idea that love is all they need.


The bridge of the song shifts the mood slightly, with the line "Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak." This suggests that the singer has found a sense of calm and serenity in their life with their partner, but that it can also be overwhelming or consuming. The final line of the bridge, "Sleep, silent angel, go to sleep," could refer to the idea that the singer is telling themselves to let go of their worries and to rest now that they have found peace in their life.


Overall, The Air That I Breathe is a poignant song that speaks to the power of love and how it can sustain us through life's hardships. It emphasizes that love is all we need to feel content, regardless of any material possessions or external factors.
