Jet Stream
EDL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Effortless in a negative direction, scripted here in a simpleton's inflection.
That self worth can fail in the goal to progress, allow me this chance to confess.
That my own increase in my own two hands is my own demise in my own demand.
What a deceitful voice one I recognize, a familiar face one that tells me lies.
And of this grace to my heart be known, is the same grace that someone had shown.
CHORUS
Carry me away in the jet stream; let the jet stream (carry me away)
Carry me away in the jet stream; let the jet stream (carry me away)
Carry me away in the jet stream; let the jet stream (carry me away)
I said, carry me away in the jet stream; let the jet stream (carry me away)
My eyes now clear granted sight, amazed at this the gift of flight.
So overwhelming that my heart begins to swell, you can feel, taste, touch, but can never tell.
How absolute this rite of flight can be, encompassing me and protecting me.
I can see for a thousand miles, and even love a single infant's smile.
Take time to collect my thoughts, an enduring love that can never be bought.
Every stitch in my every seam, carried away by the jet stream.
CHORUS
The song "Jet Stream" by EDL is a reflection on life and the pursuit of success. The first verse highlights the paradox of living a life with concrete feet, which means to remain stationary or stuck, and still being able to live life without difficulty. The singer also acknowledges the detrimental effects of their negative outlook and how their own self-worth can falter their progress. The deceitful voice referenced in the lyrics represents the internal struggle between self-doubt and self-belief. The chorus calls for the metaphorical jet stream to carry the singer away, and the gift of flight and the freedom it offers become a central theme.
The second verse emphasizes the singer's newfound clarity and the overwhelming sense of freedom when soaring through the skies. With every stitch in their every seam, they are carried away by the jet stream, which serves as a metaphor for the journey of life, full of twists and turns. The song concludes by acknowledging that the love experienced on this journey can never be bought and is more valuable than any material possession.
