Thin Air
Drugstore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess that is all
I have to say
It's time to say goodbye
And walk away
Hope everything we've lost
We'll find again
Another time
Or day
I've met a man
Blind as a post
He said that somehow he could understand
Then he read my hand and told me to
To make the most
Of today
Guess the world
Is filled with people
All the time
Everywhere
Guess the world
Is filled with people
And it's hanging on thin air
I hear a sound
So far away
That Crazy Captain never got to sail
But his heart travelled many miles away
Another time
Or day
Guess the world
Is filled with people
All the time
Everywhere
Guess the world
Is filled with people
And it's hanging on thin air




Guess the world
Is filled with people
All the time
Everywhere
Guess the world
Is filled with people
And it's hanging on thin air
Guess that was all
I had to say
It's time to say goodbye
And walk away
Hope everything we've lost
We'll find again
Another time
Or day

Overall Meaning

The singer has come to terms with the end of a relationship and says goodbye, acknowledging that what they have lost might never be found again. This is exemplified in lines such as "Hope everything we've lost we'll find again, another time or day."

The song's title, "Thin Air," is a metaphor for the fragility of life and relationships. The world is "hanging on thin air," reminding us that everything can be lost in a moment.

The lyrics also touch upon the fact that the world is full of people, yet sometimes that can make you feel more alone. This is exemplified in the lines "Guess the world is filled with people all the time, everywhere," implying that even amongst a sea of people, one can still feel isolated.


Overall, the lyrics of "Thin Air" are complex and contemplative, depicting both the pain of loss and the hope for a better tomorrow.


Line by Line Meaning

Guess that is all
This is the end of what I have to say


I have to say
I need to speak my truth


It's time to say goodbye
It's time to end this


And walk away
And go our separate ways


Hope everything we've lost
I hope we can reclaim what we've lost


We'll find again
We can have it back once more


Another time
Perhaps in the future


Or day
At another time


I've met a man
I spoke to someone


Blind as a post
Who was physically unable to see


He said that somehow he could understand
But he claimed to understand things anyway


Then he read my hand and told me to
He then made a prediction and instructed me to


To make the most
Live fully


Of today
In the present moment


Guess the world
It seems that the world


Is filled with people
Is occupied by many individuals


All the time
Nonstop


Everywhere
In all places


And it's hanging on thin air
And it's all kept together precariously


I hear a sound
I perceive a noise


So far away
Coming from a distant place


That Crazy Captain never got to sail
The journey was never taken


But his heart travelled many miles away
But his spirit was transported great distances


Guess that was all
That's all I had to say


It's time to say goodbye
It's time to depart


And walk away
And move on with our lives
