In the Air
Flo Rida & Will.I.Am Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I smell a mutiny I feel it in the air
Still a million miles away and don't fit anywhere
Just a piece of destiny of futures to be told
We raise our arms in unity our fortunes to behold

There's no sanctity no place for me no ordinary man
It's no mystery you know I can
There's a chill in the air tonight
Nothing can ever be all right
Close my eyes I see the signs they've been there all my life
There's a chill in the air tonight
Gone are those walls you hide behind
Say your prayers and make it right

I was caught between right and wrong, with nowhere to belong
Choked up on the words I thought my mind keeps going strong
Raise your head among the living dead,the endless mind control
Still trapped inside this universe, no comfort for my soul

There's no sanctuary no place for me no shelter from this storm
Lost our unity we see the world reborn

There's a chill in the air tonight
Nothing can ever be all right
Close my eyes I see the signs they've been there all my life
There's a chill in the air tonight
Gone are those walls you hide behind
Say your prayers and make it right

There's a chill in the air tonight
Nothing can ever be all right
Close my eyes I see the signs they've been there all my life
There's a chill in the air tonight




Gone are those walls you hide behind
Say your prayers and make it right

Line by Line Meaning

I smell a mutiny I feel it in the air
I sense a rebellion brewing, it's a feeling I just can't ignore


Still a million miles away and don't fit anywhere
I feel disconnected and out of place, no matter where I go


Just a piece of destiny of futures to be told
I am a small part of something greater, with so much yet to unfold


We raise our arms in unity our fortunes to behold
Together we stand strong, ready to face whatever the future may hold


There's no sanctity no place for me no ordinary man
I'm not like everyone else, no place to call my own, nothing is sacred


It's no mystery you know I can
I have the ability to accomplish anything, nothing is beyond my reach


There's a chill in the air tonight
There's an ominous feeling in the atmosphere


Nothing can ever be all right
Things will never be perfect, no matter how hard we try


Close my eyes I see the signs they've been there all my life
I can see the warning signs clearly, they have always been there


Gone are those walls you hide behind
We need to break down the barriers that separate us


Say your prayers and make it right
We need to take action, make things right, and hope for the best


I was caught between right and wrong, with nowhere to belong
I struggled to make the right choice, feeling like I didn't fit in anywhere


Choked up on the words I thought my mind keeps going strong
I was overwhelmed and unable to speak, but my mind remained determined


Raise your head among the living dead,the endless mind control
We need to rise above the masses who are controlled, independent thought is key


Still trapped inside this universe, no comfort for my soul
I'm still struggling, feeling trapped in this world with no solace for my spirit


There's no sanctuary no place for me no shelter from this storm
There's nowhere safe for me, no escape from the chaos and turmoil


Lost our unity we see the world reborn
We've lost our sense of togetherness, and the world is changing as a result
