In the Air
L.G. Off and Hazadous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

目を閉じた君は
背に刺さったナイフを羽に似せ
今 大地を蹴る
空は果てしなく澄みきった青をたたえる
果てしなく 果てしなく

君を何度も跪かせた
この大地に口づけして
ざわめきに塞いだ耳をすませば
解るだろう すべての物の呼吸が
空は果てしなく澄みきった青をたたえる
果てしなく 果てしなく

You fly over the earth
それをただ見つめてる
You fly over the earth
Can't you see I am tied to the ground

空へ落ちて行く
底無しの空へと深く落ちて行く
そして雲を君は掴む つかむ!

You fly over the earth
それをただ見つめてる
You fly over the earth
Can't you see I am tied to the ground
You fly over the earth
やがて空に溶けてく
You're floating in the air





僕はそれをただ見つめたまま
立ちつくしている

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "In The Air" by L.G. Off and Hazadous speaks about someone or something flying freely in the air while the singer is tethered or tied down to the ground. The first few lines, written in Japanese, describe someone with closed eyes who appears to have a knife sticking out of their back, but it's as if their wings have been born out of it. They kick the earth and fly high into the endless blue sky. The singer acknowledges the power of the earth that has brought them to their knees several times, but they now kiss it as they listen to the breathing of all things. They also notice that the sky never ends and its clear blue color is quite stunning.


The chorus shifts to the second person as the singer highlights someone flying above the earth and staring down at it without realizing that others may be tied to the ground, watching them. Then, the person who's flying begins to descend deeper into the bottomless sky and grabs hold of clouds as the singer is standing still, still tethered to the earth.


"In The Air" appears to touch on the theme of freedom and the desire to escape the monotony of life on earth. The person who's flying in the sky can be seen as a symbol of liberation, expressing the idea that one's mind and spirit can soar above life's struggles and worries. However, the lyrics also focus on those who are left behind, still grounded and unable to fly. It's possible that the singer has been burdened by the weight of responsibilities and commitments that have left them feeling trapped, unable to follow their dreams.
