Forus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speak of fall in love, we love inward
The girl sells trends just keep up with the stars
Oh, all the words are bigger than air
Liberace will let you be the (???)
Don't cry for us, ain't no (???)
Cry out for your child, you feel dead
Kid, we will be worried
We're dust sent to arms
Here in life. Will we survive?
Your hand inside my chest
We're gonna push the wheel not (???)
When I enter every single life
Say again! So hold my hand and stay with me!
So understand, we be foreign
Hands that have made him
Will only enchain him
We have a chance to go back
We can go outta here
Out of time, die in, die!
The lyrics of Forus's song “Air” are abstract and cryptic, open to interpretation. The song can be understood as an expression of the band's set of beliefs and ideologies. The first line, "We're different and we're then again equal," signifies individuality and diversity, yet emphasizes the idea that everyone is equal. "Speak of fall in love, we love inward," seems to express an inward contemplation of love, where the band focuses more on the internal experience of love rather than on outward expressions. "The girl sells trends just to keep up with the stars," may be indicating how people often conform to popular trends and fads to fit in with society, just to feel like they belong. The following line, "Oh, all the words are bigger than air," signifies that language is a powerful tool and is capable of impacting people more profoundly than physical things.
In the second stanza, "Liberace will let you be the (???)," is a vague phrase that plays on the idea of being subdued by someone or something. The next line, "Don't cry for us, ain't no (???)," seems to reject pity, as the band doesn't want anyone to feel bad for them. "Cry out for your child, you feel dead" suggests that the band believes in acknowledging pain instead of suppressing it. "Such, so, tear my head, it's daring," can be understood as an expression of desire for boldness and courage. "Kid, we will be worried" is an assurance that they are concerned for each other's well-being.
The last stanza starts with "We're dust sent to arms." The phrase presents an interpretation that humans are made of fragile beginnings, yet have been built to be warriors. The next line, "Here in life. Will we survive?" indicates the band's concern about survival and the uncertainty of life. "Your hand inside my chest, we're gonna push the wheel not (???)," signifies trust and unity. "When I enter every single life" can be interpreted as the band's desire to impact people positively.
