Something in the Air
Steelfeather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s something in the air
A soft but endless prayer
Keep still and hold you breath
There's something in the air

The deeper it pulls me
It tries to restrain me
The harder, I fight it
The more it′s containing
It holds me, it haunts me
But I will be stronger
The deeper it pulls me
The quicker I let go

There's something in the air
There's something in the air

There′s something in the air
There′s something in the air
There's something in the air

There′s something in the air




There's something in the air
There′s something in the air
