Walking in the Air
O.B.M Notion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They said as she passed by
Taking it to the head high
Rolling, rolling finally feels right
Blowing kisses make no sound
You see their wheels turning all around
Painted faces releasing every crave out
Dance slow
Air in love out and repeat
Dance slow
Eyes wide open
Breathing in stranger's air
I know where you stand
But the ground under me just got cold
See you on the next round
You see her step into the light
And you know she's gonna change your night
She calls you green and smokes you out
She's moaning and you don't wanna leave now
Dance slow
Body is ready
Air in love out and repeat
Dance slow
Eyes wide open
Breathing in stranger's air
I know where you stand
But the ground under me just got cold
See you on the next round
See you on the next round
See you on the next round
Cuz it's not about how badly you want it
Or what are you willing to let go
Love slow
The lyrics of the song "Walking In The Air" by O.B.M Notion depict a girl who is feeling down and sad, but is trying to cope with her feelings by taking drugs and dancing with strangers. The song suggests that the girl is seeking escape and release from her inner turmoil, and is willing to put herself in dangerous situations to find it.
The lyrics highlight the strange and seductive nature of the nightlife, with its painted faces, blowing kisses, and moaning. The song suggests that the girl is not alone in her quest for escape, as others around her are also seeking the same release. The repetitive refrain of "Dance slow, body ready, air in love out and repeat" creates a sense of hypnotic rhythm, reflecting the trance-like state of the girl and those around her.
Overall, the song portrays the dark and alluring side of the party scene, depicting the desperation and vulnerability of those who seek solace in drugs and anonymous sex. The lyrics suggest that such behavior may offer temporary relief from pain, but is not a solution to the underlying issues that drive people to seek such escape.
