Separation Serenade
Club Des Belugas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Prince Charming
Mile High Club
Adam ant/marco pirroni
747 or a vc10
Winter, summer who knows when?
Takeoff passion flyaway love
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
I never heard that noise before
Don't be treated like a pound
Let currencies go up and down
Mashed potato, rocksteady rub
Mile high club
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
I never heard that noise before
Never give up never say die
Ignore the fools when they cry
"if this thing fails - nothing at all!"
It won't fail
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
It's got its ups and downs
The lyrics of Club Des Belugas's song "Separation Serenade" are a playful and flirtatious exploration of the concept of the Mile High Club, a term used to describe people who have had sexual encounters on an airplane while in-flight. The opening lines of the song mention Adam Ant and Prince Charming, which may be a nod to the glam and theatrical aesthetic of the New Romantic era of music that Adam Ant was a part of in the 1980s. The mention of a 747 or VC10 plane reinforces the idea of glamorous and luxurious travel.
The chorus of the song, "It's got its ups and downs, I never heard that noise before" cleverly plays with the double meaning of "ups and downs," referring both to the fluctuations of the plane during flight and to the various emotional highs and lows of a romantic relationship. The lyrics also encourage listeners to be free and open-minded in matters of love, urging them not to be "treated like a pound" and to let "currencies go up and down." The song ends with a message of perseverance and determination, exhorting listeners to "never give up" and dismiss the naysayers who warn against failure.
