Air
Poesie Noire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
while the wind blowing my thoughts apart,
the loneliness makes me suffer too long,
and I forgot who I was a long time ago.
I'm trying to find the centre of it,
but I don't know where to start,
and I don't know where to begin,
And a melody wanders through my mind,
and it's turning my senses upside down,
please let me sleep, don't wake me up,
I'm breathing, please let it stop.
The air is too cold to breathe.
The air is too cold to bear.
The lyrics of Poesie Noire's song "Air" is a melancholic expression of the struggles of life. The persona in the song speaks of facing the harsh reality of life and how it has affected their mental and emotional state. They feel as though the winds of life have blown their thoughts apart, leaving them confused and lost. The loneliness they have endured for so long has caused them to forget their identity, becoming a mere shadow of who they once were.
As they navigate through life trying to find their center, they realize that it is not an easy task, as they don't know where to begin. The circle of life turns the air into water into ice like an endless cycle of pain and torment. In the midst of all these, the persona finds solace in music, in a melody that wanders through their mind, turning their senses upside down. They plead with whoever is listening to let them sleep and not wake them up, as they are tired of the struggles of life and just want to breathe and rest.
