No Air
Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air, no
No air, air, no
No air, air, no
No air, air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

So how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breath

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air, (uh, of)
Can't live, can't breathe with no air, (no, no)
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep (so deep)
Tell me how you gonna be without me (without me)
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe, breathe, no, no, aha)
It's no air, no air, (no, no)

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
It's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

You got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "No Air" by Jordin Sparks Ft. Chris Brown, talks about the feeling of being unable to live without someone. The song starts with a powerful metaphor, comparing the feeling of losing that person to suffocation. "If I should die before I wake, it's 'cause you took my breath away" expresses the singer's dependence on the other person. They cannot imagine living without them, and their world will be a "world with no air" in case of separation, a place impossible to survive in.


Throughout the song, the singer's desperation and agony intensify as they emphasize their dependence on the other person, saying "Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air." The person is the singer's world, and without them, they cannot survive. Each repetition of "no air" in the chorus emphasizes the amount of pain the singer feels with each breath they take, with each beat of their heart. The song's lyrics create an image of a world where nothing matters without the other person, and everything feels impossible.


In general, this song is associated with a feeling of heartbreak, loss, and yearning. Many people can relate to it because it expresses the depth of emotions one can feel when they lose something they once thought they could not live without. This song is an excellent example of how music can capture the complexities of human emotions and situations.
