Something's in the Air
Trans-X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I come like the tide, run and hide, get away
I will not subside, with no pride, I can say that
Cynical people won't come to the answers and
Minuscule suckers deprive the survivors so
Share your thoughts, it's time, don't go hide, come in, stay
We have not been decent see, the possibilities
Are seemingly endless and precious as are you and me
So take from your greed, and your lust, and all your hatred too
Because they might become your ending
Somewhere in my dreams, we lie
Satisfy my breath, we die
I'll leave you behind, won't think twice, you will see
Thoughts of a past time, on a dime, they reveal
That all of our actions, have created, emptiness
In the hearts, minds, and the bodies of nihilists
Thoughts rot, from inside, come to find, what is real
We have not been decent see, the possibilities Are seemingly endless and precious as are you and me
So take from your greed, and your lust, and all your hatred too
Because they might become your ending
Somewhere in my dreams, we lie
Satisfy my breath, we die
Something in the water, clear as mud
Think about your daughter, just like son
We were meant to burn them to the ground and
Ashes to Ashes falling around you
Ringing the bells like sirens behind you
When it comes time to see them in front you
Put all the pieces in the right order
That's when the puzzle seems to make no sense
Acid reflux is building inside you
Then you throw up the knowledge you clung to
Somewhere in my dreams, we lie
Satisfy my breath, we die




Something in the water, clear as mud
Think about your daughter, just like son
