Pilot
Aki Bergen & N.E.K.O Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's a story you all should know
About our thing and why we we're doing our show

We do what we like and we're having fun
And when we are on stage, you know the party has begun

Pleasing is our aim, this is not a game
We've been working very hard to get this far

Whatever we do, we're in full control
And that is what we call S.P.O.C.K'n'roll
Star Pilot On Channel K
Star Pilot On Channel K
Star Pilot On Channel K
We're gonna get you!
We are nice, friendly and polite
It's a mystery why some wanna fight

Been dealing with some weirdoes in our life
But the truth is revealed and it's full of lies

Now we know the right guys, professional and good ones
They care about us and are just as ambitious

1+1+1 is normally 3
We are stronger than that in our synergy
Star Pilot On Channel K
Star Pilot On Channel K
Star Pilot On Channel K
We're gonna get you!
Some say we are not being serious
Fools and clowns and total idiots

We ain't no fake, we believe in what we do
We give a 100% and we're coming to you
We are
S.P.O.C.K
Star Pilot On Channel K
Star Pilot On Channel K

Star Pilot On Channel K
We're gonna get you!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aki Bergen & N.E.K.O's song 'Pilot' speak of the band's journey and their commitment to their music. The song starts with the lead singer sharing a story about their passion for music and why they continue to perform. The band members love the craft and performing on stage is where they shine, bringing their audience to life. Their ultimate goal is to please their fans and give them a good time, and they work hard to ensure they achieve this. They are in full control of their music and their performance, which they refer to as S.P.O.C.K'n'roll. The term could be interpreted as a mix of Sci-Fi and Rock, perhaps an acronym for the Starship Police Operations Command Center or Starfleet-based on their reference to 'Star Pilot.'

The second verse talks about how the band has faced some challenges along their journey, but they have now found the right people to work with – professional and good ones who care about them and their ambitions. This is evident when they sing, "1+1+1 is normally 3, We are stronger than that in our synergy." The band has found their footing and knows what they are doing. They dismiss their critics by saying they aren't fake and believe in what they do. They give 100% to their performances and their fans. The band concludes by reminding their audience that they are S.P.O.C.K, the Star Pilot on Channel K, and they will continue to entertain and rock the stage.
