Walking in the Air
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm floating in the midnight sky
The people far below
They greet us as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm floating in a midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the stream
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
I'm walking in the air
I'm floating in a moonlit sky
The people far below
They greet us as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm floating in a midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
I'm walking in the air
Aurora's song "Walking in the Air" is a beautiful ode to and representation of the freedom and wonder of flight. The song begins with a declaration of flight, that the singer is not only experiencing but also enjoying the peacefulness and calmness of flying in the sky. She describes how the people below, who can't fly or experience what she is, greet her as she and her companion fly by. The song is not just about flying and soaring in the air, but about the awe of seeing the world from a different viewpoint. Aurora uses the metaphor of "walking on air" and "floating in the midnight sky" to describe the feeling of flying free from the constraints of the ground.
In the second verse, the scenery of the flight is described in detail, with the different landscapes, such as "villages," "rivers," "hills," "forests," and "streams," appearing like trees and other objects beneath them. The children who gaze up see the spectacle with amazement and disbelief, while nobody below them knows what they are looking at. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the sense of freedom and the otherworldly feeling of flying in the sky at night.

The rivers and the hills, the forest and the stream
As I survey the landscape from aloft, I am struck by the majesty and grandeur of the earth's natural features, which are revealed to me in a way that is entirely new and awe-inspiring.

Ich bin als 11 jährige spazieren gewesen und hörte in der Ferne ein Lied.
Ich weiß bis heute nicht,von wem es war,es war ungefähr 1982/83 und ich blieb wie angewurzelt stehen und hatte das intensivste Glücksgefühl,zu dem ich in meinen jungen Jahren fähig war.
Ich habe die Melodie nie vergessen.Aber das Lied habe ich über 40 jahre gesucht.
Jetzt habe ich Aurora kennengelernt und dieses Lied,exakt dieses Lied - holt die Emotionen von damals zurück ❤❤❤
Wer Musik liebt,versteht sicherlich meine Gefühle und das ich so glücklich deswegen bin.
Aurora ❤❤❤DANKE DAS ES DICH GIBT!!!!

Hard to believe she's a human. Her pure presence is ethereal like the one of an angel. We're all blessed to have her among us.

Very fitting stage for her. It's a Norwegian church.
@masteryoshy2507
That’s where you are wrong, she’s all angel and no human. She’s far above us. She lives in another world we cannot even comprehend. Her essence fly far above the life we live at.
