The song in general is about "following your dreams and just going with the flow" and a "little creepy girl that comes from a little creepy place and she has her big dream and she loves music, but nobody believes in her." The specific details in the song, such as "cats and hats and rocking chairs" are based on Kerli childhood when she would frequently wear older hats. |

Revision as of 17:49, 8 August 2016
Walking on Air is track number two on Kerli's first studio album Love Is Dead. It was also released as a single on May 20, 2008.
Writing process
Kerli claims when she was younger, her mother would tell her a story: "In the black, black world there was a black, black town and in the black, black town there was a black, black house and in the black, black house there was a black, black cupboard and in the black, black cupboard there was a white box." This is the inspiration for the verses in the song. The song in general is about "following your dreams and just going with the flow" and a "little creepy girl that comes from a little creepy place and she has her big dream and she loves music, but nobody believes in her." The specific details in the song, such as "cats and hats and rocking chairs" are based on Kerli childhood when she would frequently wear older hats.

Lyrics
There's a little creepy house
In a little creepy place
Little creepy town
In a little creepy world
Little creepy girl with
Her little creepy face
Saying funny things
That you have never heard
Do you know what it's all about?
Are you brave enough to figure out?
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts
Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly so high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this, unless you kill it
Go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that
I feel like I am walking on air
She has a little creepy cat
And a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair
And an old blue hat
That little creepy girl
Oh, she loves to sing
She has a little gift
An amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel
With her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that
Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly so high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this, unless you kill it
Go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that
I feel like I am walking on air
Flitter up
And hover down
Be all around
Be all around
You know that I love you
Go on
Feel it, breathe it, believe it
And you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly so high
And you'll be walking on air
You feel this, unless you kill it
Go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that
I feel like I am walking on air
I am walking on air
I am walking on air
