They are neither Models nor Aeroplanes, but they do make music.
Hailing from Dundee, Scotland, the lifelong friends have been playing music for years in a variety of bands and formations. Settling rather successfully into the Model Aeroplanes groove, they have uploaded a handful of promising tracks to their SoundCloud page, ‘Crazy’ is their official debut single.
The Wild
Model Aeroplanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those kings and queens of the regular never weather.
And over the wall, a bigger,
Boy eater wants to tan us tougher than leather.
Cause some kind of commotion in the suburbs,
Live a little out of control so, far from the wild.
Ah grow old, and get bored and kind of smothered,
Let's stay all, sweet and tucked up,
Those thoroughbred, London vampires won't slurp from your cup.
So come on wait a while,
And fill some bottles of boredom for something to suck
Cause some kind of commotion in the suburbs,
Live a little out of control so, far from the wild.
Ah grow old, and get bored and kind of smothered,
Live a little out of control so, so far from the wild.
Cause some kind of commotion in the suburbs,
Live a little out of control so, far from the wild.
Ah grow old, and get bored and kind of smothered,
Live a little of control so, so far from the wild.
Cause some kind of commotion in the suburbs,
Live a little out of control so, far from the wild.
Ah grow old, and get bored and kind of smothered,
Live a little out of control so, so far from the wild.
The lyrics to Model Aeroplanes's song "The Wild" capture the desire to break free from the mundane routines of everyday life and embrace a more adventurous, exciting existence. The first stanza urges the listener to avoid becoming one of the "kings and queens of the regular never weather" by staying home and avoiding the dangers that lurk outside -- such as the "boy eater" who wants to "tan us tougher than leather." The second stanza takes a similar theme and adds a more specific warning against the "thoroughbred, London vampires" who would suck the life from us if given the chance. Instead, the singer encourages us to "fill some bottles of boredom for something to suck" and embrace a life that's a little more wild.
The chorus repeats the idea that we should "live a little out of control" and make a "commotion in the suburbs," all in pursuit of the freedom and excitement that comes from living more recklessly. Ultimately, the song celebrates the idea that we should embrace life to the fullest and not get bogged down in the monotony of daily routine. The repeated refrain of "so far from the wild" reminds us that we should always be striving for something more, and never settle for a life that feels safe or stagnant.
