To me this song has a couple meanings, First I am sure that it may have been inspired by how hot it was and one fan but actually the song is brilliant. To me it is saying that everybody has a vice or habit that they have to use as their ventilator, maybe it's drugs,drink,Pepsi,candy,aspirin,coffee, God,It can be anything. Video game,instrument a person's acceptance,whatever. It is all mind over matter but the one thing we all need is air or we are dead. Cool play on words. Mick has always been such an under rated lyricist I think.
