Flyover
Asian Dub Foundation Lyrics

Flyover, Flyover
Repeating the phrase 'Flyover' to set the tone for the song.

Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Encouraging the listener to join in and sing 'Flyover.'

Chance! Flyover, Flyover
Urging the listener to take a chance and embrace the concept of 'Flyover.'

Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Encouraging the listener to push forward and accelerate as they journey down the 'Flyover.'

Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Expressing a desire to escape from the mundane and avoid being trapped or held back.

Mr.Chance met your products and get out of my way,
Referring to the idea of taking control and not allowing external forces to impede progress on the 'Flyover.'

There ain't enough hours in my day,
Highlighting the intensity and fast-pace of life while emphasizing a sense of urgency in making the most of the time one has.

The cities on fire in the pouring rain,
Suggesting that the hustle and bustle of city life is like a chaotic storm that is always raging.

Seem as life is faster than a run-a-way train,
Reinforcing the idea that life moves quickly and waits for no one, much like a runaway train.

Hit the buzzer da da shi shi for computers ab da shi, the bloody turf wanna me to find a new chief,
Alluding to the pressure and competition in the workplace and the need to constantly adapt and progress to stay on top.

And get beding the wheel-a-way, never going home,
Motivating the listener to keep driving forward and never settle or give up.

Speeding and sliding inside the transit zone
Emphasizing the rush and intensity of life on the 'Flyover.'

Speeding through the heebies about 20 percent, watcha red between a buty and a innocent,
Navigating through the obstacles and challenges of life, always aware of the balance between beauty and danger.

Rubbing shoulders with a su-su-super classic engine, burning out the ura and salt cans and tank,
Metaphorically referencing meeting and interacting with successful, powerful people while also experiencing the exhaustion and burnout that comes with that lifestyle.

Choking up a land of fire smoking up the air, some days you rather be anywhere but here,
Expressing the desire to escape from the chaos and pollution of city life and go somewhere more peaceful.

Is the heaviest sound, is the heaviest sound,
Repeating the phrase 'the heaviest sound' to emphasize the weight and intensity of city life on the 'Flyover.'

Shift to the underworld and it's another story, as the sales surround you with positive energy,
Transitioning into a new chapter of life, surrounded by new people and new opportunities.

As the baseline ba da ba da be da be agree activity
Emphasizing the groove and rhythm of life on the 'Flyover.'

I got dem, got dem longdisady
Slang that suggests the singer is feeling homesick and longing for somewhere else.

Don't wanna be down in the station in the stroke of midnight, nobody wanna go where there's plenty of light,
Expressing discomfort with the darkness and loneliness of being alone in a public place late at night.

Asking for direction when I'm tired of a way, you know there's never time, you know there's never been a powers in the day,
Feeling lost and unsure of which direction to take in life, while recognizing the limitations of time and energy.
