Air
Tony O'Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching frantically the place where you belong
Gave you a map that showed you your direction
A shadow tore it up and told you it was wrong
That way was too long
And danced a little song
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
So why not dare it?
Feed your eyes on cold grey city concrete
An extra pair of arms is what you really need
But keep the secret, today no one can touch you
Dine on passion, then let your heart bleed
Alone at night it's dark
Hear a lonely dog bark
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
You belong nowhere and you can't bear it
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
So why not dare it?
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
You belong nowhere and you can't bear it
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
So why not dare it?
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
You belong nowhere and you can't bear it
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
So why not dare it?
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
You belong nowhere and you can't bear it
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
So why not dare it?
The lyrics of Tony O'Connor's "Air" speak about the feeling of being lost and searching for one's place in the world. The song tells the story of someone who has been given a map to help them find their way, only for it to be torn up by a shadow who tells them that it's the wrong direction. The character is left feeling alone and helpless in a world full of cold, grey concrete - seeking companionship and comfort but finding none. The song encourages the listener to "come into the air," to cast their worries aside and embrace the unknown without fear.
The lyrics of "Air" could be interpreted as a call to embrace life's uncertainties and take risks in order to find meaning and purpose. It encourages the listener not to be afraid of being lost and to recognize that life can be lonely and difficult at times. By urging the listener to "cast your body like a care," the song seems to suggest that sometimes you just have to let go and trust in the journey.
Line by Line Meaning
There you are, waiting at the station
You find yourself standing at the station, awaiting your destiny
Searching frantically the place where you belong
You are struggling to find your purpose and path in life
Gave you a map that showed you your direction
You were provided a guide to navigate your way through life
A shadow tore it up and told you it was wrong
A negative force destroyed your guide and convinced you it was incorrect
That way was too long
The original method was deemed too lengthy
And danced a little song
The negative force mocked and reveled in your misfortune
Come into the air, cast your body like a care
Abandon your worries and join the open space, carefree
You belong nowhere and you can't bear it
You feel like you don't belong and it's unbearable
Life just isn't there, if you can't share it
Life lacks meaning and purpose without the ability to share it with others
So why not dare it?
Why not take a chance and find your own path?
Feed your eyes on cold grey city concrete
View the harsh and colorless landscape of the city
An extra pair of arms is what you really need
You crave additional support and guidance through life
But keep the secret, today no one can touch you
Keep your thoughts hidden, so no one can harm you emotionally
Dine on passion, then let your heart bleed
Pursue your desires wholeheartedly, even if it causes emotional pain
Alone at night it's dark
During solitary times, the surroundings feel ominous
Hear a lonely dog bark
The only sound echoing in the silence is the howl of a lone dog
