Out of Air
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Zack Tyler Stephens' 'Out of Air' Meaning
Lyrics
Where did I go wrong? Or was it from the very start
Reflecting on a mistake or questioning the beginning of a relationship.
You left me all alone, with my achy broken heart
Expressing the feeling of abandonment and a heartbreak.
I've learned just not to care
Developing a nonchalant attitude, choosing not to care anymore.
About all of your personal affairs
Indifference towards the partner's personal matters.
I knew that it felt wrong
Sensing the wrongness in the relationship.
When I told you I'd never let you go
Recalling a promise not to let the partner go.
We knew it all along
A mutual realization that the relationship was problematic.
We should've let it happen, just say no
Regretting not preventing the relationship, acknowledging a mistake.
But we didn't care
Despite awareness, both parties continued without concern.
We tried our best but our flame ran out of air
The relationship faced challenges and eventually failed.
Ran out of air
Reiteration of the relationship ending, emphasizing the loss.
Out of air, ha
An exclamation acknowledging the absence or failure of something vital (air).
We ran out of air
Repeating the idea of the relationship running out of vitality.
I don't know what I feel
Uncertainty about emotions and feelings.
I think you numbed all of my nerves
Suspecting emotional numbness caused by the partner.
But I know that it's real
Acknowledging the reality of emotions, despite numbness.
'Cause whatever it is still kindof hurts
Recognizing residual pain from the relationship.
I don't know whose to blame
Uncertain about attributing blame for disturbing thoughts.
For these thoughts that are driving me insane
Expressing the impact of thoughts on mental well-being.
Me insane
Reiteration of the mental distress caused by the relationship.
We tried our best, but that wasn't enough
Admitting efforts made in the relationship were insufficient.
To face the rest, but that's ok
Accepting the difficulty of facing the future, but finding solace.
But that's ok
Repeating the acceptance of the situation.
We tried our best, but that wasn't enough
Reiterating the insufficiency of efforts in the relationship.
To face the rest, but that's ok
Repeating the difficulty of facing the future, finding comfort in acceptance.
That's ok
Reiterating acceptance and expressing it as okay.
And that's ok (I mean it)
Repeating acceptance with emphasis, stating it sincerely.
And that's ok
Reiterating the idea that it's okay, emphasizing acceptance.
That's ok
Final confirmation of acceptance, asserting it's okay.
