In the Air Tonight
Echoes of Deception: In the Air Tonight's Enigmatic Tale
Lyrics
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
The singer senses something significant about to happen, possibly something intense or pivotal.
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Expresses anticipation for a moment that's been awaited eagerly throughout the singer's life.
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Oh Lord, oh Lord
Asks if others can also sense the impending event or feeling.
Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
The singer wouldn't offer help even if someone was in trouble, possibly due to past grievances.
I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Recognition of familiarity with someone, unsure if the person recognizes the singer.
Well, I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
Witnessed an action or event firsthand and addresses the person directly about it.
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
Challenges the person's demeanor, implying knowledge of their past actions.
It's all been a pack of lies
Declares that everything said or done has been false or deceptive.
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Reiterates the feeling of something significant approaching.
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Repeats the anticipation for a long-awaited moment.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Confirms the sense of something imminent.
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Reaffirms the intense anticipation for this awaited moment.
Well, I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget?
Recollection of a past event and a reassurance that it's not forgotten.
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
Reflects on the unique nature of the meeting, potentially implying it was impactful.
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no, you don't fool me
Understands the reason behind the person's silence, asserting that the silence doesn't deceive the singer.
Well, the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
Despite the absence of visible signs, the pain continues to grow.
It's no stranger to you and me
Indicates shared experience between the singer and the addressed person.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Repeats the anticipation of something significant approaching.
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Reiterates the long-held anticipation for this moment.
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Confirms the feeling in the air, repeating the anticipation.
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Reaffirms the long-awaited nature of this moment.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Reiterates the sense of something significant approaching.
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Expresses the prolonged anticipation for this moment.
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Repeats the feeling in the air and the intense anticipation.
Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Reaffirms the lifelong anticipation for this specific moment.
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Emphasizes the imminent feeling intensifying, possibly reaching a climax.
