Transient
Orbital Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thanks a bunch, Clayts, so it's
"Look at his little nose, it's blue"
"Aw, I dunno, it'll do him good wouldn't it? Fresh air"
"Ah, I don't like fresh air, it's not good for the skin"
"No, there rea, you know, there really is good air
Where there's trees, there's more oxygen
'Cause they breathe out oxygen
Like we breathe out, the other"
The accent confuses me every time




Okay, now, anyone have a clue where it's from?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Orbital's song "Transient" present a dialogue that appears to be between two individuals, discussing the effects of fresh air on one of them. The conversation starts with one person, potentially a parent or caretaker, noticing the blue nose of the other individual, possibly a child. The caretaker suggests that fresh air would do the individual good, but the person responds by saying they do not like fresh air because it is not good for the skin.


The caretaker then counters by asserting that there is good air, and that trees are a source of more oxygen because they breathe out oxygen, just as humans breathe out carbon dioxide. This conversation depicts the struggles between opposing desires: the need for fresh air and the desire to keep one's skin healthy. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of nature and the role it plays in our lives, particularly with regards to the production of oxygen and its benefits.
