Say to me what the hell
I'm tryin' to say (to you)
Boeing up as I am boeing down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matmatah's song "Boeing Down" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is the struggle to communicate effectively in a relationship. The lines "Say to me what the hell/I'm trying to say (to you)" suggest frustration on both sides, possibly due to miscommunications or differences in understanding. The phrase "Boeing up as I am boeing down" could be a metaphor for the ups and downs of the relationship, with "boeing up" representing moments of high emotion or excitement and "boeing down" representing periods of conflict or turbulence.

Another interpretation could be linked to the title of the song, which references the Boeing aircraft company. The lines "Boeing up as I am boeing down" could be seen as a reference to the rises and falls of the company itself. The phrase "Say to me what the hell" could be interpreted as a request for clarity or transparency in regards to the company's actions or motivations.

Line by Line Meaning

Say to me what the hell
Communicate with me clearly and directly, without any ambiguity or confusion.

I'm tryin' to say (to you)
I am attempting to express my thoughts and feelings to you.

Boeing up as I am boeing down
I am experiencing unpredictable and unstable changes in my emotions, much like the erratic movements of an aircraft during takeoff and landing.
