about

Thin Air is a song about people we will never figure out. The lyrics are observing, reflecting: "Who are you when you're alone?", while the music meanders between strong statements and subtle passages.

lyrics

You breathe in thin air, air on the peak
Your legs became weak
Alone on you throne
No one is left, but you think you’re the best

Alone on your throne
Of subjects unknown
You’re entertained but what have you gained?

Who are you when you’re alone
Alone with yourself
You’re longing for an illusion of
Your ego to come

Alone on your throne
Of subjects unknown
You’re entertained but what have you gained?

You paint the world in black and white
Sneaking past those left behind
Delusions playing with your peace of mind

You paint the world in black and white
Embracing those who take your side
Who are you to bring to life another self

Your former self
The self you despise, the one you disguise
A weak counterpart
floating above uncertain love

Mirroring those friends you oppose
Addicted to fame
You stay the same
