Aeroplane
Leon of Athens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is an exchange
Our young hearts
In close range
No light shines
In this age
Your love
I better start, I better start running
I better start, I better start running
Even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
Going down then flying high
You take me for a ride
Modern love
Is to calculate
Be the first to hit
Or you fall in vain
No light shines
These dark days
Your love
Is my cage
I better start, I better start running
I better start, I better start running
Even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
I better start, I better start running
I better start, I better start running
Even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
Going down then flying high
You take me for a ride
Here I am
Still breathing
In open fields I breat
In open fields...
I better start, I better start running
I better start, I better start running
Even if I can't escape
Your love is like an aeroplane
I better start, I better start running
I better start, I better start running
Your love is like an aeroplane
Going down then flying high
You take me for a ride
You take me for a ride
Your love is like an aeroplane.
The lyrics of Leon of Athens's song "Aeroplane" allows for an intriguing interpretation of modern love. The first stanza illustrates how modern love seems more like a business exchange, with hearts in close range, implying that love is not about emotional connection but rather about convenience. The phrase "no light shines" further portrays the idea of love being in a dark place or a place of uncertainty. The following line, "Your love is my cage," goes deeper into the dark theme, suggesting that the singer feels trapped or imprisoned by love. The chorus highlights the idea of escape, as the singer knows they need to run away from the situation, but like an aeroplane, their love takes them on an emotional rollercoaster, with ups and downs.
The second stanza continues with the calculation of modern love, implying that it is more about winning or dominating than truly connecting with someone. Additionally, the line "no light shines, these dark days" suggests that the singer's overall experience of modern love is negative with a sense of hopelessness. The refrain emphasizes the theme of running away or escaping the situation, while still noting the power of love in taking someone for a wild ride. The final few lines, "Here I am, still breathing, in open fields I breathe" provide hope for the singer, who may be able to break free from their cage and experience the freedom of being alive.
Overall, "Aeroplane" portrays modern love in a bleak light, implying that it is often more about convenience and calculation than true connection. The song speaks to those who feel trapped or imprisoned by love, reminding them that escape is always possible, even if it's challenging.

Τι υπέροχη φωνή είναι αυτή? Τι μελωδία, τι λυρισμός, τι γλυκύτητα ψυχής! Με ταξιδέψατε στα ρομαντικά δικά μας χρόνια των 80s! O μεγάλος Morrissey θα ήταν περήφανος αν σας άκουγε!
