Something in the Air
Sarah Brightman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep within your mind you have been blind
Look around and find
There's something in the air

Sometimes I can read it in your eyes
Keep the dream alive
There's something in the air
Don't know why the truth becomes a lie
Makes me want to cry
There's something in the air

And I can feel it, oh yeah
And I can feel it, everywhere

There is something in the air
Our tears will dry tomorrow
No more pain or sorrow
There's something in the air

All the darkness turns to sunlight
(The) dawning hits the long night
There's something in the air

We can heal the wounds of time together
It'll be forever
There's something in the air
I can feel the love that I desire
Come on take me higher
There's something in the air

There is something in the air
Our tears will dry tomorrow
No more pain or sorrow
There's something in the air

All the darkness turns to sunlight
(The) dawning hits the long night
There's something in the air

We can heal the wounds of time together
It'll be forever
There's something in the air
I can feel the Love that I desire




Come on take me higher
There's something in the air

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's song Something in the Air express a message of hope and positivity in the face of pain and strife. The opening lines suggest that although we may sometimes be blinded by negative experiences or emotions, if we look closely we will find a sense of something new and positive beginning to take shape. The repetition of the phrase "there's something in the air" adds to the overall feeling of anticipation and excitement.


The second stanza implies that the singer is trying to reassure someone else who may be feeling down or discouraged. The idea of keeping "the dream alive" suggests that even when things seem bleak, we should continue to believe in a brighter future. However, it is clear that there are still obstacles to be faced- the "truth becomes a lie" and this "makes [the singer] want to cry". Despite this, the tone of the song remains upbeat- the "something in the air" acts as a sort of counterbalance to the difficulties that are being experienced.


The final stanza expresses a sense of unity and the idea that together, we can overcome even the most difficult challenges. The image of the "darkness [turning] to sunlight" creates a sense of moving from a place of difficulty to a place of happiness, and this is reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "there's something in the air". The singer is determined to "feel the love that [they] desire" and to encourage others to join with them in this positive, forward-moving energy.
