The aim of this research is to find out how song lyrics reflect socio-political realities in Indonesia, especially injustice, freedom of expression, and threats to human rights activists.

The analysis is carried out by examining how the lyrics of the song "in the air" reflect social phenomena, human emotions or certain views on life. This research found that the lyrics of the song "In the air" reflect the situation of a person's struggle in facing threats, intimidation, and theorism.
