In the Air
Twoface Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's on their mind is in the air
What is the past will reach the eye so clear
What's behind these ambient walls
I hear voices that embrace my fear

Who believes in a crowd that they can't see
Who believes in the stories that they bring
It drags the best out of me

Ooh
I wish I could disappear
Away from all that embraced my fear

We're marching on, we are the strong
We are the traitors of the universe
What's behind your empty eyes
I see a truth against your will, hold on

Who believes in a crowd that they can't see
I believe in the stories that they bring
It drags the best out of me

Ooh
I wish I could disappear
Away from all that embraced my fear
Ooh




I wish I could disappear
Away from all that embraced my fear

Overall Meaning

Twoface's song "In The Air" is a powerful reflection on the impact of society and the consequences of not fitting in. The lyrics depict a sense of isolation and detachment from the world around us, as we struggle to make sense of our place within it. The line "What's on their mind is in the air" suggests that the thoughts and attitudes of others are omnipresent, part of the atmosphere we breathe in and out every day. The singer also acknowledges the weight of past experience, which can "reach the eye so clear" and color our perceptions of the present.


As the song progresses, the chorus reaffirms the universal need for human connection, even as we grapple with our fears and doubts. The lines "Who believes in a crowd that they can't see / Who believes in the stories that they bring" convey a sense of distrust and skepticism towards the world around us, but also a longing to believe that there is something more to life than what we can see with our own eyes.


In the end, "In The Air" is a song that speaks to the struggle we all face in finding our place in the world. The singer yearns for escape from the pressures of society and the weight of his own fears, but ultimately finds solace in the knowledge that he's not alone in his struggles.

Μπράβο φιλαράκι...Κι ότι ήμουν έτοιμος να το ανεβάσω γιατί δεν υπήρχε... Κι άσε τους άλλους να ακούνε ότι τους πλασάρουν τα Μέσα Μαζικής Αποχαύνωσης.
