Blue Smiley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you bargained for
heaven sent
take it off
with the first burn
in the flame
another flirt
it won't be long
into hell
hanging on
another word
in the vein
a fluid yearn
The lyrics to Blue Smiley's song "Air" speak of temptation and the dangerous consequences that can come with giving into it. The first line, "it wasn't what you bargained for" sets the stage for a scenario where the singer is faced with something unexpected. The haunting phrase "heaven sent" is used in a sarcastic tone to describe the temptation that he is facing. The lyrics continue to describe the singer's struggle to resist this temptation as they feel the "first burn" and succumb to "another flirt." Despite knowing the consequences of giving into temptation, the singer continues to struggle with their urges as they "hang on" to the thrill of the moment. The phrase "in the vein, a fluid yearn" is both a reference to addiction and the music industry, as a "hit" song can become addicting to both the artist and their fans alike.
Overall, the song "Air" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing control to temptation. While the singer is aware of the inevitable consequences they will face if they give into their desires, they continue to do so until they are left "in hell". The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it can be assumed that the temptation being referred to can take many forms, including drugs, sex, or even the temptation to become famous in the music industry.
