Air
Juno and Hanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I presumed right stay solid
Assuming what you want in my mind
Convinced that I'm right still upraised
But the air weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
Concluded all the whys for myself
Believe that I'm right keep holding
But the air weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
Weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
Assuming what you want in my mind
Convinced that I'm right still upraised
But the air weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
Weighs me down
But the air weighs me down
The lyrics of "Air" by Juno and Hanna speak of feeling the weight of the world around us and the limitations it imposes on us. The song starts with the lyrics "Breezing through the night stay floating, What I presumed right stay solid," which suggest a sense of confidence and strength in the face of adversity. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a growing sense of doubt and insecurity: "Assuming what you want in my mind, Convinced that I'm right still upraised."
Despite this, the singer is convinced that they have all the answers: "Concluded all the whys for myself, Believe that I'm right keep holding." They believe that they have figured everything out and that their understanding of the world is correct. However, the chorus of the song, "But the air weighs me down," suggests that this certainty is an illusion. The world and all its complexities weigh heavily on the singer and limit their ability to fully comprehend and navigate their surroundings.
Overall, "Air" is a reflection on the limitations of human understanding and our inability to fully comprehend the world around us. It suggests that despite our best efforts, we will always be held back by the constraints of our existence and the complexities of the world.
