Lighter Than Air
Louis Jarto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My stomach rumbles like a plane high above the streets
My arms are spread out wide catching wind for me
I levitate up in the air and everyone can see
I leave cold ground and see the clouds
I wonder if I'm too high is this allowed for me?
Hi' Hi' Higher
Hi' Hi' Higher
I get up over the fence
Get up over the bump
Get up over the smoke
That hides what's next to come
It feels just like a dream
Too good to what i seems
This I am gonna keep
This one im gonna keep
This one I'm gonna breath
This one I'm gonna take
This one is far better than any other way
I tell you it was good
I tell you it was worth the waaaaait
Li' Li' Lighter
Li' Li' Lighter
Lighter
Light steps takes me far away
Light steps takes me far away
Light steps takes me far away
I'm not gonna stay
I'm not gonna stay
Li' Li' Lighter
Li' Li' Lighter
The lyrics of "Lighter Than Air" by Louis Jarto describe the sensation of freedom and escape that one feels when they are in a state of pure happiness or contentment. The imagery of floating in the air and experiencing a weightlessness is used as a metaphor for this feeling. The bobbles of air lifting the feet symbolize a lightness of being, where the burdens and worries of life are momentarily forgotten. The mention of the stomach rumbling like a plane high above the streets suggests a sense of excitement and anticipation, as if one is on the verge of embarking on a thrilling adventure.
The act of spreading arms wide and catching wind signifies embracing the opportunities that come their way and making the most of them. The singer feels a sense of elevation and visibility as they rise above the clouds, but also wonders if they are pushing the limits of what is allowed or acceptable. However, this uncertainty is overshadowed by the exhilaration of being higher and lighter, emphasizing the joy and freedom that comes with letting go and embracing the moment.
The second part of the song expresses a determination to overcome obstacles and rise above challenges. Getting up over fences, bumps, and smoke symbolizes overcoming barriers and obstacles that hinder progress. The dream-like quality of the experience is emphasized, suggesting that this moment is too good and too precious to let go. The repetition of "Li' Li' Lighter" and the declaration that this feeling is far better than any other way highlights the transformative power of this experience and the desire to hold onto it.
In summary, "Lighter Than Air" is a song about the blissful feeling of freedom, happiness, and escapism. It explores the metaphor of floating in the air to represent a state of weightlessness and elation, where worries are forgotten and opportunities are embraced.
