Flitter In The Air
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?
And it's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The thunder before the lightning
Breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La la la la la la la la
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight
P!nk's song "Glitter in the Air" is a powerful song about taking risks and living in the moment, even when it's scary. The first verse asks the listener if they've ever fed a lover with their hands and throws glitter in the air. This imagery symbolizes letting go of control and experiencing pure joy and spontaneity. The next line asks if you have ever faced your fears and decided to go for it anyway.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Have you ever felt this way?" which conveys a deep sense of emotion and vulnerability. The second verse touches on the loneliness and insecurity that comes with waiting for someone else to validate your worth. It then asks if you have ever been touched so gently that it made you cry, further emphasizing the power of human connection. Finally, it asks if you have ever invited a stranger inside, which represents the courage to take risks and embrace new experiences.
The bridge of the song describes the feeling of being on the brink of something great, but not quite there yet. The imagery of the hourglass running out of sand and the word "oblivion" suggests that time is running out, but there's still hope. The final verse brings the listener back to reality, sitting in a garden and clutching coffee. The line "you called me sugar" implies intimacy and affection, which ultimately leads to the question of whether or not it will ever get better than tonight.

The tip of the iceberg The sun before the burn The thunder before the lightning

Breath before the phrase Have you ever felt this way?
The hesitation before you bare your soul, confess your love or do something reckless. Have you ever felt that heart-wrenching moment of uncertainty before stepping out of your comfort zone?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone? You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

It's only half past the point of oblivion The hourglass on the table The walk before the run The breath before the kiss And the fear before the flames Have you ever felt this way?
Similar to the previous verse, this is all about the moment before the big bang. It's the calm before the storm, when everything is about to change and you're holding your breath, waiting for it.
La la la la la la la la
This is a playful, nonsensical chorus that doesn't have a single, definitive meaning. It's catchy, upbeat, and meant to be sung and danced along to.
There you are, sitting in the garden Clutching my coffee, Calling me sugar You called me sugar
This is a romantic, intimate scene that captures the beauty and simplicity of a shared moment. It's about cherishing the little things and seeing the love and affection in even the tiniest gestures.
Have you ever wished for an endless night? Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever experienced an moment of pure happiness and wanted to bottle it up, making it last forever? Or you just wished for a single, perfect night that never ended?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight
Have you ever experienced a magical moment and wondered if life could ever be better than that? It's about appreciating the precious, fleeting moments of joy and happiness that we're lucky enough to encounter.
