I Need Air
Katy B ft. Magnetic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Electrify my body
And you're making me feel like I'm so electric
Everything you do is making me blow-blow-blow
Don't know what to do about it
Can't seem not to live without it
All I wanna do is just know-know-know
And now my atmosphere is crowded
And you being here is making me blow-blow-blow
You penetrate my space
And now I'm looking outta place
And you're making it hard for me, I need air
I breathe air
I breathe air
I breathe air
I breathe air
Kaleidoscope of colors that you bring to me
You're freaking out my energy
I'm losing and you're making me low-low-low
Don't know what to do about it, you and I can't live without it
All I wanna do is just go-go-go
You smother my emotions
Now I'm driving in your ocean
And I'm running and I'm feeling like I don't care
Penetrate my space
And now you're looking outta place
'Cause you're making this hard for me, I need air
I breathe air
I breathe air
And you're taking my air
I breathe air
I breathe air
Making my body so erotic
It's making my body so erotic
I breathe air
I breathe air
You penetrate my space
And now I'm looking outta place
And you're making it hard for me, I need air
I breathe air (I breathe air)
I breathe air
Yeah,
I breathe air
Can you feel it, yeah
I breathe air
And you're taking my air
Yeah,
Air
And you're taking my air
Yeah,
(I need air)
And you're taking my air
The lyrics of Katy B ft. Magnetic Man's "I Need Air" describe a sensation of overwhelming passion that literally takes the singers' breath away. The first verse is focused on the intense physical reaction the singer is having to their lover, who electrifies their body and leaves them feeling crowded and suffocated - but in a good way. They can't seem to live without the passion that this person inspires in them, even though it's making them feel like they're blowing up.
The second verse continues to describe the sensations of arousal and ecstasy that the singer is experiencing in the presence of their lover. The colorful imagery suggests a visual hallucination, possibly a reference to the changing lights of a nightclub or rave. The singer feels like they're losing control, but all they want to do is keep going. The second half of the verse brings the focus back to the physical body and the oceanic metaphor for lovemaking.
Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase "I need air" serves as a catchphrase and a reminder of the overwhelming nature of this passion. The singer wants to keep going, but they need to come up for air, both literally and metaphorically. The song captures the feeling of being lost in the moment and unable to resist the pull of one's desires.
Overall, "I Need Air" is a sensual and immersive experience that captures a moment in time when everything else fades away, leaving only the passion and intensity between two people.

They need to release another banger like this. One in a million
@markhowie2574
Only took the dogs out for a walk, till I found this banger. 😃
@itsalwaysoniontime
I haven’t heard this song in a decade, this is such a throwback.
@chinqlinq89
Just thought of this song tonight for some reason. Used to listen to their Essential Mix multiple times a day for like a year. California kid listening to Skream, Benga, Joker, Chase & Status, Rusko, Caspa and so many others. I need to go down nostalgia lane and remember the rest 😂
@Leandro-X.2024
yesss sir! this throwback 🔥
@joeoldskoolbeef
I’m an old raver from early 90s. This is a banger, I could party up to this.👊🏾
@PeaceLoveAndButterflies
So true ✌🏾
@lucblanchard4116
Has that “insomnia” sound to it. If you know any more tunes with this sound lemme know!
@themangyman
This music needs a comeback. Get rid of mumble rap and bring back tunes that make you excited to go out and not depressed.
@Jordi1872.
fuckin yes mate, fuck the depressed shite
