Air
Co-Pilot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fall straight down
You've stolen my air catcher
That kept me safe and sound
My parachutes will guide me
Safely to ground
But now the cord's not working
I won't fall in
Love with falling
I will try to avoid
Those eyes
Oh
I think you would beat
The moon in a pretty contest
And the moon just happened to be
The very first thing that I missed
I was doing fine on my own
And there wasn't much I lacked
But you've stolen my air catcher
And I don't know if I want it back
I won't fall in
Love with falling
I will try to avoid
Those eyes
'Cause I'm not sure
I want to give you
Tools that can destroy
My heart
And I just don't say
What you want to hear
So I'll write my fears
And I don't believe
In talking just to breathe
And falling selfishly
I won't fall in
Love with falling
I will try to avoid
Those eyes
But now I'm here
To give you words
As tools that can destroy
My heart
In the song "Air" by Co-Pilot, the singer talks about falling in love with someone who has stolen their "air catcher." The lyrics suggest that the singer used to fall slowly and carefully, but now they fall straight down because the person they're in love with has taken away their sense of security. The second verse suggests that the singer is aware of the danger in falling in love, but they can't help being drawn to the other person's beauty. However, they're also aware that giving themselves completely to the other person could lead to heartbreak.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't want to "fall in love with falling," and they'll try to avoid the other person's eyes. They're not sure they want to give the other person the "tools that can destroy" their heart, so they write their fears down instead of speaking them aloud. The final verse suggests that the singer is aware of the risk they're taking by giving the other person their heart, but they're doing it anyway.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the risks and rewards of falling in love. The singer is aware of the danger of being vulnerable, but they also can't resist the other person's beauty and charm. The lyrics suggest that love is always a gamble, but sometimes it's worth taking the risk.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't fall slow like I used to
I fall faster and more abruptly than I did in the past
I fall straight down
I'm no longer able to control my fall, I'm heading straight for the ground
You've stolen my air catcher
You've taken away the thing that kept me safe and stable
That kept me safe and sound
It protected me from harm and gave me a source of comfort
My parachutes will guide me
I have other ways of staying safe
Safely to ground
I can land without getting hurt
But now the cord's not working
Something that was supposed to keep me safe is malfunctioning
And I see you staring me down
You're watching me struggle without doing anything to help
I won't fall in
I won't allow myself to fall
Love with falling
I won't let myself fall in love
I will try to avoid
I'll do my best to stay away from
Those eyes
You, and your tempting gaze
Oh
Expressing surprise or wonder
I think you would beat
I believe you're more beautiful than
The moon in a pretty contest
Even more stunning than the celestial body named for beauty
And the moon just happened to be
It's a random comparison, not what I'm talking about
The very first thing that I missed
From my view, the moon was the only thing missing from an already perfect setting
I was doing fine on my own
I was content living independently
And there wasn't much I lacked
I didn't need any more than what I already had
But you've stolen my air catcher
You've taken away my comfort and stability
And I don't know if I want it back
I'm not sure if I want to take the risk of getting hurt again
I'm not sure
I'm indecisive or uncertain
I want to give you
I'm considering letting you have
Tools that can destroy
Things that could hurt or damage
My heart
My emotions and feelings
And I just don't say
I'm not comfortable vocalizing
What you want to hear
I won't tell you what you want to hear just to please you
So I'll write my fears
I'll express my worries through written words
And I don't believe
I have no faith in
In talking just to breathe
I don't talk aimlessly, just to fill silence
And falling selfishly
Ignoring the consequences for others, I'm only concerned about myself
But now I'm here
I'm in your presence
To give you words
I have something to say to you
As tools that can destroy
I'm sharing things that could potentially hurt or damage you
My heart
My emotions and feelings

On one hand you have to feel empathy for the guy because he doesnt feel safe in his home and is desperate to leave, but you cant be putting 200 peoples live in danger to help yourself,
Also hijacking is only a 20 year max sentence wtf?

This is an older Ethiopian plane incident. You must search for the recent Ethiopian plane CRASH. Be sure to read the dates on videos carefully.

He chose Switzerland because it’s a very good country!
Mysterious Awesomeness
maybe he chose Geneva, Switzerland because they are a neutral country and to be as far away from ethiopia as possible
