- In The Air Tonight LyricsI can feel it, comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord?
Oh Lord
Well if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am?
Well I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
Know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waitin' for this moment, all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it, in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waitin' for this moment all of my life, oh Lord
Oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time and the last time we ever met
But I have know the reason why you keep your silence, oh
No you don't fool me
'Cause the hurt doesn't show
The pain still grows
It's stranger to you and me
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waitin' for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waitin' for this moment all my life, oh Lord oh Lord
I can feel it, comin' in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord oh Lord
I can feel it, comin' in the air
I can feel it, comin' in the air
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, my life
I can feel it, comin' in the air
I can feel it, comin' in the air
I've been waitin' for this moment, all my

Facts about In The Air Tonight
✔️
In The Air Tonight is written and performed by Phil Collins.
✔️
It is first released in 1981 as part of Phil Collins's album "Face Value" which includes 12 tracks in total. This song is the opening track on this album.
✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Phil Collins' 'In the Air Tonight - 2015 Remaster' lyrics are of great anticipation and unresolved tension. The vocalist opines about the earlier times with the use of hints at betrayal and lies and the whole gamut of feelings: pain, plus the waiting for a moment of conviction. The image of something 'coming in the air tonight' is a metaphor for an impending fight or revelation that has been so and nothing more than a mysterious and intense atmosphere to the song. The air tonight lyrics mostly point out the emotions of heartbreak, angst, despair, reflection, and anger. Nonetheless, the opposite of these emotions is when the song highlights the issues of anticipation and longing, and further betrayal and deceit, and memory and reflection and pain and suffering. The lyrics portray the emotions of anticipation and pain that are probably not the best for very young kids. Still, the absence of swearing, violence, and adult themes renders the song okay for children older than five with the supervision of a parent.

Me is right, it has no meaning, only an expression of anger as the drums symbolize. Anger from separation of his ex-wife.

You heard utter crap. Phil confirmed himself that it is simply an expression of his frustration at the time about the divorce. That myth about an actual man dying or drowning is total nonsense.
