Air Lyrics

(you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait)

we are
the sad sad people those scared scared scared scared eyes insane unseen an island inside inside out
minds unbeing dead isn't being alive what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air? the red line when
the sky ends the pretty ugly lives can't take your car to heaven can't take god
for a drive unbeing dead isn't being alive what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air? what's wrong
with the air what's wrong with the sky what's wrong with your eyes? what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky? around you, around you, around you, around you, in mourning
for the morning, you laughed yourself into the afternoon you thought was endless you wanted to be weightless unbeing dead isn't being alive
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air? what's wrong with the air what's wrong with the sky
what's wrong with your eyes? what's wrong with the air what's wrong with the sky?
around you, around you, around you, around you, around you, around you
around you, around you, you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be brainless you didn't want to think
you wanted to be shameless you didn't want to want to

Greed seems to be in there, though I think that the song is trying to touch upon 'environment song' a bit. I may be wrong here, but this is what I gather from it.

  1. The song / chorus is: "What's wrong with the air?" (Okay, simple thinking, but sometimes that's what it is. Example: "I Love you" usually means "I Love you". "She's got Legs" is about a girl that's "got" sexy Legs.
  2. The "island" mentioned can be Earth or 'you'.
  3. "The red line when the sky ends" - the horizon is mentioned in many environmental songs - I realize I am 'pulling' what I can from the song, but the lyrics are quite vague.
  4. "Can't take your Car to heaven". #1 or #2 polluter (is that a word?) are cars.
    "Can't take God for a drive" - again reaching for something in the lyrics, but a lot of environmental songs mention how we can't rely on 'God' (as so many people claim, "God will take care of us, so do... whatever." (Even the ozzy osbourne song 'dreamer' mentions something to this effect). 5&aHalf. "In Mourning for the morning." This can easily be 'regret' - but you would be mourning for yourself or something else - simply the morning itself, most every day... if it were between regret and our every day mornings coming to life, I would chose the latter on this.
  5. "Those scared eyes" - Not talking about heart-broken or such, but scared of what is going to happen.
  6. "You wanted to be brainless, you didn't want to think." - this is 1 of the biggest things with people that refuse to recycle, use clean products, consider, etc... for their and others surroundings. We even hear them bark, "Look, I don't want to think about it! Okay? Just let me live my life." (brainless).
      • Again, I may be way off, but that is what I get from the song - again, very vague lyrics. (Members of Frente, how about a hint!) :)
