Air Meaning
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, YEJI describes the sweet and intoxicating sensation of being consumed by the moment. The line “달콤해진 oxygen, insane” (sweetened oxygen, insane) captures the rush of emotion that feels both euphoric and overwhelming. She hints at the power of this feeling by saying it causes her to forget how to breathe properly, illustrating the loss of control when caught up in intense emotions. The use of “oxygen” emphasizes the life-giving yet suffocating nature of the situation.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus emphasizes the decision to embrace this uncontrollable force. YEJI speaks about taking a chance and surrendering to the unknown, driven by an unknown force that pulls her forward. “빨라진 step” (faster steps) suggests an acceleration of action, as if swept up in the excitement of the moment. Her decision to “던질래” (throw herself) indicates a willingness to dive in fully, regardless of the uncertainty.
[Chorus]
The chorus expresses the central theme of the song: the overwhelming, irresistible feeling of attraction. “Takin’ my air” serves as a metaphor for how the other person or the situation takes away her breath and consumes her completely. The lyrics speak to the sensation of being unable to resist the pull, and the phrase “Got in my prayers” suggests that she desires it despite the overwhelming nature. The deeper the connection, the more profound the feeling becomes.
[Post-Chorus]
In the post-chorus, YEJI sings about the continuous loss of control as the other person takes more of her “air.” The repetition of “You keep takin’ all of my air” underscores the suffocating yet irresistible nature of the feeling. The line “묶인 시선 끝에” (at the end of the tied gaze) further enhances the image of being trapped or captivated, unable to break free from the intense attraction.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, YEJI embraces the arrival of a new wave of excitement, represented by the “second wind” that blows through her. She questions why she should stay away from this powerful feeling and resolves to let it begin. This verse shows her growing acceptance of the emotional whirlwind, emphasizing a willingness to explore it despite the risks involved.
[Pre-Chorus]
The second pre-chorus repeats the earlier sentiments, but with greater intensity. YEJI is no longer just willing to take a chance—she is now fully immersed in the chase. “끝없는 chase” (endless chase) conveys that there is no turning back, and the pursuit of this feeling has become all-consuming. She’s determined to continue, showing a commitment to the emotional journey, despite the uncertainty.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, this time with added urgency and passion. As the attraction deepens, YEJI emphasizes that she is more deeply entangled with each passing moment. The sense of surrender and inability to resist intensifies as she becomes even more absorbed by the feelings at hand.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus continues the theme of being unable to escape this feeling, with YEJI’s repeated refrain of losing her air. The sense of being trapped in the moment becomes more pronounced, reinforcing the idea that once this feeling takes hold, there is no escape.
[Bridge]
The bridge introduces a brief moment of introspection, with YEJI acknowledging how right the feeling feels despite its overwhelming nature. “Ooh, I’m burning so bright” suggests that the intensity of the emotion is what fuels her, even though it may be difficult to manage. The brightness of this feeling provides a contrast to the earlier suffocation, offering a glimpse of how both powerful and illuminating the experience can be.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the earlier themes, with the added imagery of falling into the attraction. YEJI is fully enveloped by the experience, and the sense of being “fallin'” conveys how deeply she has become lost in this feeling. The chorus concludes with a sense of finality, emphasizing the irreversible pull of emotion.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus finalizes the song’s message with the image of being trapped and overwhelmed by this irresistible sensation. YEJI is unable to escape, and the repetition of “Takin’ my air” highlights the all-consuming nature of this experience, with no clear way to break free from its grip. The track ends with the sensation of breathlessness, capturing the essence of emotional surrender.
