Something's in the Air
Trans-X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Trans-X's song "Something's in the Air" delve into deep themes of introspection, self-reflection, and the consequences of our actions. The opening lines "I come like the tide, run and hide, get away / I will not subside, with no pride, I can say that" suggest a sense of retreat and withdrawal, perhaps from a situation or individual that brings negativity or emptiness. The reference to cynical people and minuscule suckers alludes to those who may hinder progress or growth with their negative attitudes.
The lyrics continue to explore the idea that our actions can lead to emptiness and disillusionment, as seen in the lines "all of our actions, have created, emptiness / In the hearts, minds, and the bodies of nihilists." This reflects on the impact our choices and behaviors can have on ourselves and those around us, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and responsibility.
The mention of greed, lust, and hatred as potential endings serves as a cautionary reminder to let go of negative emotions and desires that can ultimately lead to our downfall. The lyrics urge listeners to consider the consequences of their actions and the lasting effects they may have on themselves and others.
The references to dreams, satisfaction, and mortality in lines such as "Somewhere in my dreams, we lie / Satisfy my breath, we die" add a haunting and introspective layer to the song, further emphasizing the transient nature of life and the importance of finding fulfillment and meaning in our existence. Overall, the song's lyrics encourage listeners to reflect on their choices, let go of negativity, and seek genuine connection and purpose in a world filled with uncertainty and challenges.
