Airplane Mode
Josh Woodward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be in the last place you would look
In a place where people used to be
A land that's called reality you'll find me there
I won't be catching up on Reddit
I won't be watching any news
Cause everything has been without me sometime
And everyone will be alright
It's a beautiful day,
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode and
Everything is okay
I just want to play
Unplug for the day
And live in the moment
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode yeah
I'm always drowning in the static
I'd rather swim in crystal seas
My battery's been running low
I need to take it nice and slow for just awhile
You won't be hearing bout my weather
And you won't see my breakfast pics
For videos of kitty cats
All gussied up in pretty hats
You'll have to wait
I hope it's not a tragedy
I hope you don't get mad at me
It's a beautiful day
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode
Everything is okay
I just want to play
Unplug for a day
And live in the moment
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode
Everything is now
Everyone is everywhere
No one seems to get up from their chairs
I'll come and sit with you
Let's talk and have a drink or two
We'll open up the window for some air
And hear the voices down the street
Of children playing on the beach
It's... A... Beautiful day
Don't... Take... It away
I... Just... Want to play...
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode yeah
It's a beautiful day
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode
Everything is okay
I just want to play
Unplug for a day
And live in the moment
Cause I'm living life in airplane mode, yeah!
The lyrics in Josh Woodward's song "Airplane Mode" describe a desire to disconnect from the constant noise of society and technology. The first stanza suggests that the singer wants to find solace in a quieter, more secluded place than where most people would typically look. The line "A land that's called reality you'll find me there" seems to suggest that the singer wants to escape from the virtual reality that so many people are immersed in. The second stanza indicates that the singer doesn't want to be updated on the latest news or trends because they feel like they've been disconnected from them already. In the chorus, the singer expresses their desire to just live in the present moment without the distractions of technology. They want to "unplug for the day" and "live in the moment."
The third stanza takes a more poetic turn as the singer describes being "drowning in the static" of society and yearning to "swim in crystal seas." They want to slow down and take a break from the constant stimulation that comes with being connected all the time. The fourth stanza suggests that the singer wants to have authentic conversations with people instead of constantly being updated on their every move through social media. They want to be able to sit with someone and have a genuine connection, to hear the sounds of the neighborhood, and experience the world directly.
