Picture Atlantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in part to me
gaps in moments
that never seem to be
apparations
fleeing movements
will haunt my eyes
my mind in feathers
all a trick of the mind
you're not there
sirens blare
you're just air
left and right
stall in fright
you're just air
city towers I remember
places I've never been
moving pieces a shifting image
that still makes no sense
if it's harder to remember
if you'll end up on the floor
my mind is cursing to forget it
dear don't drink anymore
be perpared cause i'm scared
you're just air
a hologram
a vision can be just air
cuts me to ribbons the slicing air
the thought of you
makes me so damn scared
ghosts slides through the whippoorwills
slides through the leaves so still
my mind wanders in absent stare
the thought of you
makes me so damn scared
going out of my mind
imgoing out of my mind
i can see your face form the forest
i can see your face from the forest
i used to be sane before this
now im just damaged goods
i can see your face form the forest
i can see your face from the forest
i used to be sane before this
now im just damaged goods
calling out
a moments glimpse of your eyes
hearts been shredded up
and it could be mine
The song "Air" by Picture Atlantic deals with the aftermath of a relationship and the lingering feelings that remain. The opening lines of "when its over in part to me, gaps in moments that never seem to be" foreshadow the theme of the song. Even though the relationship is over, there are still moments and memories that linger, causing the singer to see apparitions and female features in their mind.
The title of the song, "Air," is a metaphor for the intangible nature of the emotions and memories that haunt the singer. The chorus, "you're just air," is a direct address to the person the singer is thinking about, telling them that they are no longer a tangible part of their life. The sirens blaring in the background adds to the feeling of anxiety and fear that the singer has, knowing that they are alone and that the memories of the relationship are haunting them.
The imagery used in the song is vivid and haunting, with "cuts me to ribbons the slicing air" and "ghosts slide through the whippoorwills." These lines convey the sense of being torn apart by the memories and emotions that the singer is experiencing. The song ends on a somber note, with the singer calling out to their former partner, knowing that their heart has been "shredded up" and that the relationship is truly over.
Overall, "Air" is a powerful song that explores the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that convey the singer's sense of loss and longing.

when its over
The experience has come to an end
in part to me
I had a role to play in this experience
gaps in moments
Unaccounted for periods of time
that never seem to be
These moments are hard to grasp
apparitions
Ghostly presence
fleeing movements
Quick, jolting actions
will haunt my eyes
This memory will stick with me
female features
The likeness of a woman
my mind in feathers
My thoughts feel light and airy
all a trick of the mind
This perception is not real
you're not there
You are physically absent
sirens blare
The sound of alarms
you're just air
You do not have a physical presence
left and right
In all directions
stall in fright
Frozen in fear
city towers I remember
I recall tall buildings in the city
places I've never been
Although familiar, I have not visited these locations
moving pieces a shifting image
The surroundings are constantly changing
that still makes no sense
This situation is still confusing
if it's harder to remember
As time passes, memories fade
if you'll end up on the floor
If you pass out from drinking too much
my mind is cursing to forget it
I want to forget this experience
dear don't drink anymore
Please do not consume alcohol
be prepared cause i'm scared
I will try to brace myself, but I am afraid
a hologram
A projection without substance
a vision can be just air
Appearances can be deceiving
cuts me to ribbons the slicing air
This feeling is painful and overwhelming
the thought of you
Your memory
makes me so damn scared
I am filled with fear
ghost slides through the whippoorwills
A presence moves silently through nature
slides through the leaves so still
The presence moves quietly through foliage
my mind wanders in absent stare
My thoughts drift aimlessly
going out of my mind
I am losing my grip on reality
i can see your face from the forest
I sense your presence in nature
i used to be sane before this
This experience has driven me mad
now im just damaged goods
I am broken because of this
calling out
Reaching out for help
a moment's glimpse of your eyes
I caught a brief look at you
heart's been shredded up
My emotions are in turmoil
and it could be mine
These emotions may be too much for me to handle
