Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yeah ou

So many things wey dey bother man stress from friends and family and brotherman
Man living like an animal
When a problem goes
Life comes with another one
But I'm a god, I'm a stronger man
I be different breed, my kind no be normal one
I'm not trynna be the number one
So many legends dey
I'm just trynna be another one

But sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala
E dey be like say I don tire
Sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala

I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me you should know
I just feel like I should do this on my own
I just wanna be alone

If no be love, na money palava
If no be stress, na woman and drama
Competition people dey para
Too much beef when I no be mallam
Na God dey do am, no be my power
Grace na koko, the talent na jara
So I lock myself inside my yara go down on my knees, and I call on baba

But sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala
E dey be like say I don tire
Sometimes
E dey be like say wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala

I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me, you should know
I just feel like I should do this on my own
I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me, you should know




I just feel like I should do this on my own, I just wanna be alone
(Sometimes uh yeah yeah)

Overall Meaning

Fireboy Dml's song "Airplane Mode" explores the idea of taking a break from the daily stress and problems of life. He addresses the many things that cause him stress, from friends and family to problems that seem to crop up even when he thinks he has solved one. Despite these challenges, Fireboy stays strong, saying he is a god, a different breed of person, but not seeking to be the number one or a legend. Instead, he is content to be another one, simply trying to do his best.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the desire for solitude and escape from the pressure that surrounds him. Fireboy just wants to be alone, with no phone messages or distractions. He feels the need to do things on his own, and in the second verse, he discusses the various stresses of life that can get in the way of his plans. From love and money to competition and drama, Fireboy is overwhelmed and needs to retreat from it all.


In the end, he relies on his faith, calling on baba (God) to help him through the difficult times. Through this song, Fireboy expresses the universal struggle of finding peace and quiet in a world that is always moving, always demanding something from us. It is a reminder to take care of ourselves and take a break when we need it.

I’ve had struggles in my life mentally and I’m only 18...
This guy’s song goes as far as healing people, I love u man

@jeffffro7674

You're 18!!¡!! You're not old enough to even know what you're saying let alone to have had "struggles"!!!! Trust me, the world is a fucked up place and when you reach actual struggles.....you will know it!!! You're gonna look back and say, damn, that bro was right.....
I'm not being mean, I promise you this! I'm just being REAL!! Apparently you don't have anyone in your life to be that. I'm sorry. I didn't either. I had to understand this on my own and it took 30+ years!!!

@MultiNat98

Your mental health is a very important part of your life. I'm glad you realized and took notice of those issues. Please check in with a therapist if you are able to, or if not look for content(books, videos, audios) that can help you navigate through it. You are more than a conqueror and this will not stop you. Above all God loves and cares for you and I do too. I'm rooting for you.🤗🤗🤗

@paulmutisya998

We will get over it someday 😔
