The Air I Breathe
Our Last Night Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't let me forget
Where I started
'Cause I keep losing my sight
I'm blinded by the light

My dreams are in front of me
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door

I know I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe
I know that I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe

We choke when we focus on negativity
When did this turn into something we took for granted
This road wont take us home
This road wont take us home to the place we thought we know

I know I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe
I know that I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe

Take a breath, take your time
Take a breath, take your time

My dreams are in front of me
And everything I've worked for is standing at my door

Keep me alive

The faces we ignore
Could be the faces that keep us alive
The faces we ignore
Could be the faces that keep us alive

I know I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe

I know that I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe

The singer encourages listeners to appreciate the small but vital blessings in life, such as the air we breathe. The song also touches on how easily one can lose themselves in the negativity around them, but they instruct us to stop and take a breath, to regain focus and reassess what truly matters. The lyrics call for individuals to pay attention to the people surrounding them, to recognize the significance of every person's impact on their life, as the people we ignore or take for granted could be the ones that keep us alive.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't let me forget
Please remind me of my origins

Where I started
Where I began my journey

'Cause I keep losing my sight
Because I'm losing my focus

I'm blinded by the light
I'm distracted by the allure of success

My dreams are in front of me
My aspirations are within reach

And everything I've worked for is standing at my door
The rewards of my labor are right in front of me

I know I may be the first to forget
I acknowledge that I'm prone to forgetfulness

But I appreciate the air I breathe
Nevertheless, I'm grateful for what I have

We choke when we focus on negativity
Negativity can suffocate us

When did this turn into something we took for granted
How did we become complacent?

This road won't take us home
This path won't lead us to our ultimate destination
