I Need Air
Magnetic Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I need air)

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
You suffocate my mind
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

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

yesss sir! this throwback 🔥

@leighhouston1195

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. 😃

@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

@pendejo69

You've gotten old

@ryandyer8508

Electro house days boi

@b-m9480

They are both completely different genres. You are just too lazy to find good EDM.
