LAX
JJAMZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stepped off of at the plane at LAX
My limo never came
So I left with you instead

You said you'd never seen the sea
So we headed West we ran across the sand
Till our clothes were soaking wet
And the waves tore us to shreds
As the sun began to set
We couldn't have cared less

As they all disappear as they all disappear
Into the ether, into thin air
We take our time, and pay no mind
As they all disa they all disappear

So I carved both of our names
Into my pale white chest
Asked you to do the same
Seemed a reasonable request
I nearly lost it when you said "yes"

The court house wouldn't do
It was a crowded mess
So we took our vows in silence
On the haunted mansion steps

As the light parade commenced
It left the commoners content
But we couldn't have cared less

As they all disappear as they all disappear
Into the ether, into thin air
We take our time, and pay no mind
As they all disa they all disappear
As they all disappear as they all disappear
Into the ether, into thin air




We take our time, and pay no mind
As they all disa they all disappear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to JJAMZ's song "LAX" tell a story of escapism, love, and indifference towards societal expectations. The singer of the song arrives at LAX airport, expecting a limo to pick them up, but it never comes. Instead of feeling defeated, they decide to embrace the unexpected and leave with someone else. This decision signifies a departure from their normal routine and a willingness to explore new experiences.


The next verse describes how the singer and their companion, who has never seen the sea before, head west towards the ocean. They run across the sand, allowing themselves to become soaked with the waves. This act represents a carefree and spontaneous adventure, where the couple is fully immersed in the moment. The mention of the waves tearing them to shreds could be interpreted as a metaphor for the power of their emotions and the vulnerability they feel in each other's presence.


Despite the fading sunlight, the singer and their companion couldn't care less about what's happening around them. The cares and worries of the world seem insignificant as they vanish into the ether, into thin air. This disregard for the happenings of others is a deliberate choice to focus on their own happiness and connection.


In the following verse, the singer asks their companion to carve their names into their chests, symbolizing a deep commitment and desire for a lasting mark of their love. This unconventional request is accepted, further heightening the sense of nonconformity and rebellion against societal norms. The courthouse, a traditional setting for wedding ceremonies, is deemed unsuitable, leading the couple to exchange vows in silence on the steps of a haunted mansion. Here, they find an unconventional and intimate space to cement their bond.


The imagery of a light parade commencing appeals to the commoners, representing society's fascination with grand displays and public displays of affection. However, once again, the singer and their companion couldn't care less about conforming to societal expectations, emphasizing their detachment and disregard for what others think.


Overall, the lyrics of "LAX" convey a narrative about defying conventions, embracing spontaneity, and finding solace in an intimate connection. The couple portrayed in the song chooses to prioritize their own happiness and love over societal norms, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, and ultimately disappearing into their own world of bliss.


Line by Line Meaning

I stepped off of at the plane at LAX
After landing at LAX, I disembarked from the plane


My limo never came
Unfortunately, my scheduled limousine did not arrive


So I left with you instead
In response, I decided to leave with you instead


You said you'd never seen the sea
You expressed that you had never witnessed the vastness of the sea


So we headed West we ran across the sand
To fulfill your desire, we started moving towards the West, running through the sandy beach


Till our clothes were soaking wet
We continued until our clothes were completely drenched


And the waves tore us to shreds
The powerful waves mercilessly battered and wounded us


As the sun began to set
At the same time, the sun steadily descended towards the horizon


We couldn't have cared less
Despite the challenging circumstances, we were indifferent to the situation


As they all disappear as they all disappear
As people gradually vanish, as if dissolving into nothingness


Into the ether, into thin air
Their presence dissipates into the intangible realm, vanishing like a faint breath


We take our time, and pay no mind
We leisurely proceed, disregarding the disappearances


So I carved both of our names
In an act of devotion, I engraved both our names


Into my pale white chest
These names were etched onto my unadorned, pale white chest


Asked you to do the same
I requested that you reciprocate this symbolic gesture


Seemed a reasonable request
I believed it was a sensible and appropriate plea


I nearly lost it when you said "yes"
Almost overwhelmed with emotion, I struggled to contain myself when you agreed


The court house wouldn't do
We determined that the courthouse was not suitable for our purposes


It was a crowded mess
The courthouse was chaotic and overcrowded


So we took our vows in silence
Therefore, we exchanged our sacred promises in complete silence


On the haunted mansion steps
We chose to perform this intimate act of commitment on the steps of a haunted mansion


As the light parade commenced
Simultaneously, a vibrant and cheerful procession of lights began


It left the commoners content
This spectacle pleased the ordinary individuals who were present


But we couldn't have cared less
Despite the public's delight, we were entirely apathetic towards it


As they all disappear as they all disappear
Just like before, people fade away and cease to exist


Into the ether, into thin air
Their essence dissipates into the ethereal realm, vanishing without a trace


We take our time, and pay no mind
Once again, we proceed at our own pace, unconcerned with the disappearances


As they all disa they all disappear
In a repetitive manner, they vanish one after another
