Out of Thin Air helps the listener experience a world centered around emotional instability and longing for one's childhood. The structure is designed to have them question what they are feeling and getting pulled into. It is filled with moments of vulnerability that encapsulate the coming-of-age maturity required when one is met with a life-threatening complication. Sudden interruptions in emotional states, accelerated breathing due to heightened trepidation, and desperate cries for help remain unanswered.
