Самолет
Jane Air Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Затяжной прыжок в холодную ванну
Нераскрылся парашют
Я лечу вниз
Я лечу к тебе
Я лечу к тебе
Я лечу
Я о кафельный пол разобьюсь на куски
Утекая сквозь руки
Я лечу вниз
Я лечу к тебе
Я лечу к тебе
Я лечу
Обкурилось отражение моё за окном
Стучит в стекло, просится в дом
Не бери меня на ночь, не маши рукой вслед
Посмотри на меня
Меня больше нет
Меня больше нет
Меня больше нет
Меня больше нет
Нет
Небо над
Небо под
Самолёт
Я самолёт
In Jane Air's song Самолёт (Airplane), the singer expresses their inner turmoil and emotional distress by describing the sensations and thoughts they experience as they'r free-falling from an airplane. The lyrics open with the singer confessing their hatred towards waking up feeling dead inside, which is immediately followed by an image of them taking a long jump into a cold bathtub. These two lines establish a sense of despair and resignation that permeates the rest of the song.
The next two lines describe the singer's sense of imminent danger as they are skydiving but their parachute doesn't open. They use the metaphor of falling down to describe their descent into depression and hopelessness. However, in the subsequent lines, there is a glimmer of hope, as the singer reiterates their desire to fly towards the person they love. This image represents their desperate attempt to cope with their emotions by seeking solace in somebody else.
The third stanza uses powerful imagery to describe the singer's existential crisis, as they describe seeing their own reflection outside the window, banging against the glass and pleading to come inside. The singer then begs the addressee to look at them as if to say, "I am crying out for help. Please see me, notice me. I am disappearing." The song's final line of "Я самолёт" (I'm the airplane) becomes a refrain, and it reinforces the idea that the singer feels like they are out of control and plummeting to the ground without any hope of rising up.
Overall, Jane Air's song Самолёт captures the sense of desperation and isolation that comes with experiencing a mental breakdown. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's inner world, and their soaring vocals add to the overall emotional depth of the song.

Ненавижу просыпаться мёртвым с утра
I hate waking up dead in the morning
Затяжной прыжок в холодную ванну
A sluggish jump into a cold bath
Нераскрылся парашют
The parachute didn't open
Я лечу вниз
I'm falling down
Я лечу к тебе
I'm flying towards you
Я о кафельный пол разобьюсь на куски
I'll shatter into pieces on the tiled floor
Миллионами осколков, тысячей лиц
Millions of fragments, thousands of faces
Утекая сквозь руки
Slipping through my hands
Обкурилось отражение моё за окном
My reflection outside the window got high
Стучит в стекло, просится в дом
Tapping on the glass, begging to come in
Не бери меня на ночь, не маши рукой вслед
Don't take me for the night, don't wave your hand goodbye
Посмотри на меня
Look at me
Меня больше нет
I'm not here anymore
Небо над
Sky above
Небо под

Самолёт

Я самолёт
I'm an airplane
