Meet Me At The Airport
Baader Meinhof Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he did a cargo at 10,000
Over Jordan
It's not for Gods love
It's not for cocaine,
When you've decided - Meet me at the airport
So we talk for hours
And he said "could I take out
Every woman and child in a border town"
For the right to be governed-
Waste them without mercy.
When you've decided - Meet me at the airport
Do it would for God - do it for Allah
Put your faith in Captain Muhmad and Al-Fatah
I met a man - he was a prophet
When you've decided....
The lyrics to Baader Meinhof's song "Meet Me At The Airport" tell the story of a conversation between the singer and a man who describes himself as a trader. The man talks about having done a cargo worth 10,000 over Jordan, but implies that it was not for any good reasons such as the love of God or even for the drugs, such as cocaine. The man then talks about his desire to gain control by killing every woman and child in a border town in exchange for having the right to be governed, and without any mercy. The singer then invites the man to meet him at the airport, implying that their conversation has caused him to fear for his safety.
The song displays a message about the willingness of people to kill others for power and control. The reference to an airport in the title suggests that it may be related to terrorism. The man claiming to be a prophet appears to display a message of putting faith in violent figures, such as Captain Muhmad and Al-Fatah. The lyrics contain religious overtones, the man is described as a prophet, and there are references to God and Allah. However, the song's overall themes reflect the reality of religious extremism and the willingness of some to commit violence in the name of faith.
Line by Line Meaning
I met a man, he was a trader
I once encountered a man who was a businessman
And he did a cargo at 10,000
He transported a shipment worth ten thousand
Over Jordan
Across the river Jordan
It's not for Gods love
His actions were not motivated by faith in a deity
It's not for cocaine,
His actions were not motivated by the use of drugs
When you've decided - Meet me at the airport
If you've made up your mind, we'll rendezvous at the airport
So we talk for hours
We conversed at length
And we talk religiously
Our discussion focused on spiritual or moral matters
And he said "could I take out
He inquired whether it was permissible to kill
Every woman and child in a border town"
All the female and juvenile residents of a town near the border would be targeted
For the right to be governed-
This was seen as necessary to achieve self-rule
Waste them without mercy.
The proposed action was to be carried out with no pity
When you've decided - Meet me at the airport
If you've made up your mind, we'll rendezvous at the airport
Do it would for God - do it for Allah
The singer advocates doing what is right in the eyes of God or Allah
Put your faith in Captain Muhmad and Al-Fatah
Have confidence in the leadership of Captain Muhmad and Al-Fatah
I met a man - he was a prophet
I once encountered a man who claimed to be a messenger of divine revelation
When you've decided....
If you've made up your mind...

Even the name of the band cannot compensate for the musical weakness.

chaomonga
just ask him for the CD, and make it clear that you just want the music, and not him ;) that CD must be really rare by now. If he's a good guy, he'll understand.
