1. An independent electronic music project created in Vermont, USA by Tyler Shaw in early 2011.
Being skilled in music theory after 8 years of violin lessons and teaching himself how to play the guitar, he created his first EP, Never Say Forever, using the digital audio workstation GarageBand, but removed it later, due to his lacking production skills at the time.
After switching from GarageBand to FL Studio and figuring out how to use it, he released his debut album, Reflections Of A Dream, in December 2011.
Before the release, he asked the indie musician Yoav Landau, better known as The Living Tombstone, to remix one of the songs on his debut. Landau agreed and shortly after the remix was uploaded on YouTube, Shaw's fanbase began to grow.
As of September 2019 his discography consists of 11 full-length studio albums, 1 TV-Show based album, 10 EPs, 5 remix albums, 2 soundtrack albums, 2 compilation albums, and 22 singles, as well as a number of free-to-download songs on YouTube and SoundCloud under the name 'Aviators'.
His most recent 12th studio album, titled 'The Cinematic Future', released March 6, 2020.

RED
Aviators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this world we've built on our own
It's unclear to me
What we are still trying to be
If I could bring back the peace we had
Would the wars come with it too?
The black lines are holding me
The black lines are holding me
So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red
Now I can feel time in my veins
Counting down my days
I won't paint them grey with pain
Let's paint our hearts red again
If we can settle the scores between
The good and evil sides
I'll take a step
One more deep breath
I can move past the fear of death
When nothing can hold me anymore
So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red
We can build a world of a billion shades
We can make a difference and change our place
In the course of time, in the cycle of our lives
We can paint the world with eyes open wide
So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in tears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red
The song "Red" by Aviators encourages listeners to strive for a more colorful, positive world in which love and peace prevail. It begins by asserting that the reality we inhabit too often feels drab and monochromatic, with little clarity about our purpose or goals. However, the artist suggests that a single act of kindness or compassion - one "streak of color" - can make a profound difference in someone's life. Tears and time are symbolized by shades of blue and green, while falsehoods that inspire enmity are equated with the harshness of black and white.
As the song progresses, Aviators imagines a world in which grief, anger, and violence can be overcome by empathy and a willingness to reach across the divides that often separate us. One can sense the artist's urgency as he points out how time is constantly ticking away, and how it's up to us to decide how we want to spend it. The stakes are high, but Aviators remains optimistic that even small actions can generate a ripple effect of positive change. Ultimately, by painting the whole world red with love and compassion, we can create something beautiful and lasting.
Line by Line Meaning
It feels like greyscale reality
The world we live in seems mundane and lacking vibrancy
In this world we've built on our own
Humans are responsible for creating the world we live in
It's unclear to me
The purpose of our existence and the direction we are headed in is not obvious
What we are still trying to be
We are constantly striving to define our identity and purpose
If I could bring back the peace we had
The desire to return to a time when peace was prevalent
Would the wars come with it too?
Questioning whether peace can exist without conflict
The black lines are holding me
Obstacles and limitations are preventing personal growth
So let's stop living in black and white
It's time to move past the constraints of a limited perspective
One streak of color could change a life
A small act of kindness or positivity can have a significant impact
We have the shades of blue in tears
Sadness and grief are a part of life
And hues of green for passing years
Time passes and things change
White lies put hatred in our heads
Dishonesty and misinformation can lead to negative emotions
So we will show them love instead
Choosing to respond with kindness and compassion
We'll paint the whole world red
A symbol of passion, love, and vitality, representing the desire to create a more positive world
Now I can feel time in my veins
Awareness of mortality and the limited time we have
Counting down my days
Recognition that time is finite and each day brings us closer to the end of our lives
I won't paint them grey with pain
Choosing not to focus on negative experiences and emotions
Let's paint our hearts red again
The desire to reconnect with passion, love, and happiness
If we can settle the scores between
The need to resolve conflicts and achieve greater harmony
The good and evil sides
The struggle between right and wrong, positivity and negativity
I'll take a step
The decision to take action and make a change
One more deep breath
The importance of staying calm and centered
I can move past the fear of death
Overcoming fear and embracing life to its fullest
When nothing can hold me anymore
Breaking free from limiting beliefs and behaviors
We can build a world of a billion shades
The potential to create a diverse and inclusive world
We can make a difference and change our place
Belief in our ability to effect change on a global scale
In the course of time, in the cycle of our lives
Change is a natural part of life
We can paint the world with eyes open wide
Deliberate action to create a more positive and inclusive world

God, it’s been 7 years, I listened to this when it first released and now my heart skips a beat with nostalgia when I listen to it

fan since 4 years ago, just listening to it and I'm starting to wonder why the fuck I never listened to any of his albums before BBW

@Lye Batenkaitos, of Gluttony I only had the original single version of Red until recently, bought the album and the entire rest of it’s great as well

Must... resist... temptation to listen on loop for the next week...

Don't resist if it's Aviators!
Lye Batenkaitos, of Gluttony
@Spartan War118 Yeah, I didn't even bother resisting the temptation to listen to Song of the Abyss or Incandescent on loop for a week after they were released! Somehow, neither got boring.

Resistance is futile.

Dude I am in love with this song. It is so...soothing. So melodic. If you don't recognize the name, I also go by Zenith (we hung out at Everfree for a bit), and like I said there after your set this song is absolutely amazing. I wish I could produce something even remotely similar...
