Cover art for Air lyrics by Talking Heads

To me, the song is about people harming the environment and the air around us. With the holes in the ozone layer, the sun can come through and damage our skin. We as people tend to simply ignore these problems (Some people say not to worry about the air), and pretty soon we won't have the air we need anymore (Some people never had experience with air).
