Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep
Save me, nicotine lung steam
Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep
Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb
Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep
Deep, deep, deep, cough cough
The song "Air" by Son of a Pitch (S.O.A.P) is a commentary on the state of the environment, particularly the polluted air that we breathe. The opening lines, "Welcome! sulphur dioxide, Hello! carbon monoxide, The air, the air, Is everywhere," introduce the concept of the air being filled with these harmful pollutants. The repetition of "breath deep, while you sleep" emphasizes the idea that even when we are unaware, we are breathing in these harmful substances.
The second verse brings in other vices that also affect the body, such as alcohol and nicotine, further commenting on how we are compromising our health in different ways. The line "Cataclysmic ectoplasm, Fallout atomic orgasm" uses powerful imagery to express the destructive consequences of nuclear testing and war. The final lines "Breathing like a sullen perfume, Eating at the stone of my tomb" suggest that these pollutants are slowly killing us even after we have died.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a call for action to address the issue of air pollution.
