David Byrne said in an interview once that it's about somebody who's afraid of air , but he says it's not a song about pollution, it's about someone who thinks the air can hurt you almost as he described "It's about being afraid of being alive!"
Awesome, thanks for explaining that! I dig the song, but I always assumed it was about acid rain, pollution, etc. This adds so much to the song for me. It's a lot more interesting thinking of it as a person not wanting to face the world and go outside.
