[Intro]
Breathin’ in (in, in, in)
(Oxygen)
[Bridge]
And, then again….
[Verse 1]
Here we are. Take a breath.
Live… before your death
What do you make
And, what do you take?
[Chorus]
Argon? (Bring ‘er on!)
And, again (With the nitrogen)
Takin’ in gasses
(By the masses)
[Bridge]
… neon, helium
(I am)
methane…
(Sounds insane)
And krypton
(Ah, come on?)
Breathin’ in
(Oxygen)
[Bridge]
And, then again….
[Verse 2]
(Hear?)
We’re still here.
Take a breath.
Come to life… before your death
[Bridge]
After all, before you fall…
What do you make
And, what do you take?
[Chorus]
Argon? (Bring ‘er on!)
And, again (With the nitrogen)
Takin’ in gasses
(By the masses)
[Bridge]
… neon, helium
(I am)
methane…
(Sounds insane)
[Outro]
And kryptonite
(I cannot fight)
A SCIENCE NOTE
The air we breathe is a mixture of several gases. Here’s a breakdown of the main gases we inhale:
- Nitrogen (N₂) – About 78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. While it’s not used by the body, it dilutes the oxygen and plays a role in respiratory processes.
- Oxygen (O₂) – About 21% of the air is oxygen. This is the critical gas that our body uses for cellular respiration, which produces energy.
- Argon (Ar) – About 0.93% of the air is argon, an inert gas that doesn’t react with the body and is simply exhaled.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) – About 0.04% of the air is carbon dioxide, though it’s a waste product of respiration that we also exhale in larger amounts.
- Other trace gases – There are small amounts of gases like neon, helium, methane, and krypton, but these are in very low concentrations and have no significant role in respiration.
Even though we mostly need oxygen, our lungs filter and process all of these gases with every breath we take.
