Biography
In the fall of 2011, James Knoerl and Sam Harchik started the project you are now viewing as âAviations.â That autumn season was the beginning of an exceedingly hopeful path filled with meeting valued friends, countless learning experiences, and the breaking of todayâs musical trends.
Before admitting himself into Berklee College of Music out of high school, James had already been writing songs for a band that he knew he would intend to form. Once on campus, he joined forces with Sam. The two of them had a full album written, and soon they began recording. Shareef was made an addition to the band following his departure from a project of similar genre, and from then on, recording instrumentals for the album continued. The band had no legitimate plans for acquiring a vocalist for their musical venture, however, during the summer of 2012, Adam demoed on tracks and was given the spot. Dave Wolfberg from another Berklee band, Earthstomper, decided to join on as the second guitarist for the band.
On October 13th, 2012, âA Declaration of Sound,â the bandâs debut release, was the final product of the story so far.

Aviations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen to the melody
What's not forgotten will remain
Hold on tight for the rest this time
Don't forget, it's a long way down
How could it be the reason?
Your bitter fascination with all
So uninviting, can you hear me now?
Keep your faith
Have trust in your sense
Get up off the fence or else you'll be feared
I can't be the one to stay in vain
To take the enemy to the ground...
Your fashioned scapegoat for the end
So, on this day, we sell ourselves to you
Explaining everything we've ever wandered onto
Snatch the flowers, then inhale and exhale the power
Till you feel renewed and revived
Again once alive
Well over-prepared is what you want to play
More indifferent was I to you everyday
Again once alive, how about we take this for another try
Again once alive, how about we take this for another
How could it be the reason?
Your bitter fascination with all
The devil lies inside the detail
So uninviting, can you hear me now?
You can't hide for cover; it's over
The damage has been done
They put a price on your soul
And you can't stand the pressure that's within
You've gotta run?
I've gotta run with hands overhead
Have trust in your sense
Get up off the fence or else you'll be...
The song "Quest" by Aviation is about self-reflection and perseverance. The lyrics urge the listener to pay attention to the melody, as what is not forgotten will remain. It then emphasizes the need to hold on tight as the journey ahead is long and challenging. The lines "Your bitter fascination with all, The devil lies inside the detail" explore the idea that sometimes our negative thoughts and obsessions can hold us back from achieving our goals. The song urges the listener to keep faith, trust in their sense, and not be afraid to take risks.
The chorus "Again once alive" encourages the listener to pick themselves up and try again, even when faced with failure or setbacks. The verses also touch upon the idea that sometimes we place blame on others or create scapegoats to avoid taking responsibility for our actions. It ends on a note of determination, urging the listener not to hide or run, but to face their challenges head-on and persevere.

Your fashioned scapegoat for the end
You are being blamed or punished unfairly for something
So, on this day, we sell ourselves to you
We are offering ourselves and our talents to you

Snatch the flowers, then inhale and exhale the power
Enjoy the good things in life and use them to rejuvenate yourself
Till you feel renewed and revived
Until you feel refreshed and energized
Again once alive
Feeling like you are truly living again
Well over-prepared is what you want to play
Being highly prepared is the key to success
More indifferent was I to you everyday
I used to care less about you or this situation in the past
How about we take this for another try
Let's give this another chance or attempt to succeed
You can't hide for cover; it's over
You can't escape the consequences or the end of this situation
The damage has been done
The negative effects of this situation are already set in motion
They put a price on your soul
They are trying to take advantage of you or control you
And you can't stand the pressure that's within
You are feeling overwhelmed by the situation or the demands placed on you
You've gotta run?
Are you going to flee or escape the situation?
I've gotta run with hands overhead
I too am feeling like I need to quickly escape or surrender
