Kabul Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I may die,
I am on the way,
And you're about to cry.
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
I see you flying to me.
Today you must say,
Because I may die,
I am on the way,
And you're about to cry.
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
I see you flying to me.
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
I see you flying to me.
Bombs and explosions,
Are not scaring me,
They are just playing,
With my heart, sometimes.
Bombs and explosions,
Are not scaring me,
They are just playing,
With my heart, sometimes.
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
I see you flying to me.
Dont't listen to anyone,
Just listen to me,
I am in the air,
I see you flying to me.
The song "Air" by Kabul Dreams speaks to the fear and uncertainty that is a constant reality for the people of Kabul. The first two verses set the scene of someone who is on their way, potentially to dangerous or fatal circumstances. The urgency of the situation is emphasized with the repetition of "today you must say because I may die" and the impending tears that will come with their departure. The chorus implores the listener to disregard the opinions of others and to pay attention to the singer who is "in the air" and sees them flying to them.
The second half of the song addresses the bombs and explosions that are a part of daily life in Kabul. Rather than fear them, the singer claims that they are "just playing with my heart, sometimes." This could refer to resilience and a determination to continue living life despite the risks, or it could be a statement of disillusionment with the situation, as if the explosions have become so familiar that they no longer hold the power to scare or shock. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the bond between the singer and the listener, suggesting that they will always be connected and that trust should be placed in each other rather than outside sources.
Line by Line Meaning
Today you must say, Because I may die, I am on the way, And you're about to cry.
A message that the singer may be in a dangerous situation and might die, therefore the person listening to the song should speak their heart out. The singer is on the way somewhere and the listener is about to cry because of a possible separation.
Dont't listen to anyone, Just listen to me, I am in the air, I see you flying to me.
The singer wants the listener to ignore any other advice or opinions and solely trust him. The singer is metaphorically 'in the air' as if hovering above the listener, watching them approach him.
Bombs and explosions, Are not scaring me, They are just playing, With my heart, sometimes.
The singer is not afraid of the violence and danger around him, he sees it as affecting him emotionally, but in a strange, almost playful way.
Dont't listen to anyone, Just listen to me, I am in the air, I see you flying to me.
The singer repeats his earlier message of trust, urging the listener to only follow his words.
