Air Island

The song 'Air Island' by My Singing Monsters delves into the theme of self-acceptance and the joy of living a carefree life, despite being labeled as 'monsters.' The lyrics open with a defiant stance against societal labels, suggesting that being called monsters is inconsequential. The term 'elementary monsters' implies a simplicity or innocence, indicating that these creatures are misunderstood rather than malevolent. The phrase 'It's all up in the air' serves as a metaphor for uncertainty and freedom, setting the tone for the rest of the song.

As the song progresses, it speaks to the unity and shared experiences of these monsters. The line 'And now that you have landed, together we will share' suggests a sense of community and belonging. The idea of walking on air symbolizes a carefree existence, free from the burdens of judgment and societal expectations. This imagery creates a whimsical and liberating atmosphere, inviting listeners to imagine a world where they can be themselves without fear of rejection.

The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the monsters and those who cannot 'fly,' symbolizing a lack of understanding or acceptance. The invitation to 'take a leap of faith' and 'feel it in the air' encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and join in this liberated way of living. The song ultimately conveys a message of inclusivity and the beauty of living authentically, regardless of how others may perceive you.
