The A.W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I breathe out as the cold wind catches my breathe
And I watch it flow away hoping that a part of me will touch you
Because I know you'll feel the difference in the air and you'll think about me
That's all I want from you
One memory, one blank stare, one anything
To get me through
To get me through
To get me through (to get me through)
I know we talked about it but the pain just wont go away
(wont go away)
lend me your hand, help me
(help me)
help me through this
I lay on black ash for you(for you)
I lay, I lay, I lay here for you(lay for you)
I lay on black ash, I lay for you (I lay for you)




for you (I lay for you)
help me through(you)

Line by Line Meaning

I breathe out as the cold wind catches my breath
As I exhale, the frigid gust snatches my breath away, symbolizing the weight of our separation.


And I watch it flow away hoping that a part of me will touch you
As my breath dissipates, I yearn for a fragment of myself to reach you, in hopes that you will sense my essence in the air.


Because I know you'll feel the difference in the air and you'll think about me
I am confident that you will detect a transformation in the atmosphere when I am near you, and it will prompt you to ponder about me.


That's all I want from you
All I ask of you is a fleeting moment of recollection, nothing more.


One memory, one blank stare, one anything
A single recollection, a moment of expressionless contemplation or any comparable gesture would suffice.


To get me through
This will grant me the strength to overcome my current struggles.


I know we talked about it but the pain just won't go away
Although we discussed our situation, the hurt is still present and lingering.


(won't go away)


Lend me your hand, help me
I implore you to assist me, to support me through this emotional turmoil.


(help me)


Help me through this
Guide me through this mental anguish, console me from the agony.


I lay on black ash for you(for you)
In tribute to you, I lie down on the dark, lifeless remnants of a fire that has burned out.


I lay, I lay, I lay here for you(lay for you)
I remain immobile, here solely for your sake, recollecting our memories and contemplating our future.


I lay on black ash, I lay for you (I lay for you)
My stillness on this charred ground is my way of conveying my dedication and affection to you, and only to you.


For you (I lay for you)


Help me through(you)
Through your support, you have the power to aid me towards overcoming personal strife and suffering.

This is something new on the channel! 😊
What do you think should we continue making air quality monitor reviews?

@b00573d

After owning 2 of these for a few years I have a story for you all about Awair! There used to be in app notifications where it would alert you if there was some sensor reading that was trending downwards. At first the notifications would work great and then all of a sudden if you went to view past notifications in the app they were a rolling 7 days behind for some reason. I opened a ticket with Awair and for literally a year the ticket was kept open with me asking every month about it and support stating they were working on it. Eventually it stopped working completely and support stated that they didn’t have enough support staff to work on the issue anymore and they closed the ticket. Latest version of the Awair app has a setting for notifications per device, but you will never receive notifications and they have completely removed the section to view any past notifications. If you would like to see the tickets and emails or screenshots, I can provide them!

@kastefer7827

Do you think you can make videos of air quality sensors vs the sensors that come with air purifiers? It would be good to see how accurate they really are and if auto mode is a good idea

@AirPurifierFirst

This is a great suggestion; thanks a lot!

@kastefer7827

@@AirPurifierFirst of course! I’m mainly curious if auto mode on my 300S is actually useful and not just a gimmick

@ChineseCommunistParty.

Thanks for you channel, I live in London a very polluted city and the air quality is terrible in and outdoors. Ordered and air purifier and it will come tomorrow, learned a lot about them from your channel so thank you.

@AirPurifierFirst

I'm glad to hear that! Wish you lots of clean air with your new pet 😊

@AaronR-C

The introduction to the video says this is an air purifier 0:41 although the rest of the video is clear on its function but this might be confusing to beginners.

@catherinecheung207

@AirPurifierFirst
does any of the monitor sent alerts to your phone if PM is too high?

@AirPurifierFirst

Yes, almost every smart air quality monitor has an advanced notification system.
