Something in the Air
Max Jury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you are and what you're doing now
I pretend you are still my lover
As a watch that ... go down
Late at night, I like to go out walking
Weary heart don't ever seem to rest
And I don't care, everybody's talking
Cause I'm leaving all these voices in my head
There must be
Something in the air
That keeps me feeling so satisfied
Something in the air
There must be
Something in the air
That makes this town so ... all the time
Since you left my life
I see in darkness
Black rose line on my window pane
I pray to God give me strength to stop it
But I dont think God even knows my name
Something in the air
There must be
Something in the air
That keeps me feeling so satisfied
Something in the air
There must be
Something in the air
That makes this town so ... all the time
That makes this town so ... all the time
Max Jury's song "Something in the Air" is a melancholy ballad about lost love and the search for meaning in its absence. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song as the singer muses on the whereabouts and activities of a former lover. He admits to pretending that she is still with him, serving as a reminder of the pain that comes with the end of a relationship. The image of the setting sun underscores the sense of time passing and of loss that runs through the song.
The second verse features a powerful contrast: the singer's heart is restless and he finds solace in late night walks, but he also feels isolated and overwhelmed by the chatter of other people. The repetition of the phrase "something in the air" underscores the sense of mysterious forces at work, both good and bad. In the third verse, the singer reveals that he sees the world through a prism of darkness and feels lost without his former partner. He prays for strength, but his faith has waned.
Line by Line Meaning
Often times I like to sit and wonder
I frequently think about and ponder
Where you are and what you're doing now
Where you currently are and what activities you are engaged in
I pretend you are still my lover
I imagine and act as though you are still my romantic partner
As a watch that ... go down
As the sun sets and the day ends
Late at night, I like to go out walking
During the evening, I enjoy taking strolls
Weary heart don't ever seem to rest
My tired emotions and feelings never seem to find peace
And I don't care, everybody's talking
I am unconcerned about the chatter and gossip of others
Cause I'm leaving all these voices in my head
Because I am disregarding the internal thoughts and mental noise
Something in the air
There exists a certain intangible quality or feeling
There must be
It is highly probable or likely that there is
That keeps me feeling so satisfied
That provides me with a deep sense of contentment and happiness
That makes this town so ... all the time
That causes this place to always have a particular atmosphere or vibe
Since you left my life
After you departed from my existence
I see in darkness
I perceive and experience a lack of light or hope
Black rose line on my window pane
A dark, depressing symbol present in my view
I pray to God give me strength to stop it
I plead to a higher power for the ability to overcome this negativity
But I dont think God even knows my name
I feel unknown and unrecognized by any higher power or guiding force
