[Intro]
Running low
(Thin on air)
Down below
(Not much there)
[Verse 1]
Where is the money going to come from
(Out of thin air)
When all is said and done…
(Out of thin air)
[Chorus]
Running low
(Thin on air)
Down below
(Not much there)
[Bridge]
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air
(Are you aware… not much there)
[Verse 2]
Where is more time going to come from
(Out of thin air)
When all is said and done…
(There’s no more there)
[Chorus]
Running low
(Thin on air)
Down below
(Not much there)
[Bridge]
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air
(Are you aware… not much there)
[Outro]
Out of thin air
(In a thin air scare)
ABOUT THE SONG
The phrase “out of thin air” originated in the 16th century and is most famously attributed to William Shakespeare, who used a similar version in his play The Tempest (1610-1611). In Act 4, Scene 1, the character Prospero says:
“These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.”
Here, Shakespeare uses “into thin air” to describe something that disappears or vanishes completely and almost magically.
Meaning
The phrase “out of thin air” has come to mean something that appears suddenly, unexpectedly, or without explanation, as if from nothing. It is often used to describe things that seem to materialize or be created with no apparent source or cause. For example:
- “The magician pulled a rabbit out of thin air.”
- “She came up with a solution out of thin air.”
It conveys a sense of surprise or disbelief, as though the event defied logic or reason.
