Aeroplane
Red Hot Lyrics

I like pleasure spiked with pain
I enjoy experiences that have both pleasure and pain mixed together

And music is my aeroplane
Music is like a mode of transportation for me, it takes me to a different emotional state

It's my aeroplane
Music is my escape and it helps me to fly towards happiness

Songbird sweet and sour Jane
This is a person named Jane who has both sweet and sour qualities, like her voice is mixed with happy and sad emotions

And music is my aeroplane
Once again, music helps the artist escape the negative emotions people like Jane can make him feel

It's my aeroplane
Music is something so personal and helps me move on faster from pain, that makes me feel like I can fly

Pleasure spiked with pain
Once again, the artist reiterates how much he enjoys experiences that have both pleasure and pain mixed together

That mother fucker always spiked with pain
Even though he enjoys this, it is not easy, it can be challenging as often it involves getting hurt emotionally, hence the metaphorical comment about it being 'spiked'

Looking in my own eyes 'hello'
He is feeling lost but acknowledges his own presence in the world by looking into his own eyes'

I can't find the love I want
He is struggling to find the love he wants, suggesting that perhaps he already knows what it looks like or feels like

Someone better slap me
Metaphorically, someone needs to snap him back to reality and maybe give him a reality check

Before I start to rust
It is a hint that he knows he is getting tired and his energy is slowly diminishing

Before I start to decompose
This is another hint that he worries about the process of getting older, which he metaphorically refers to as 'decomposing'

Looking in my rear view mirror
He is having a moment of introspection and looking back at his past, perhaps with regret or nostalgia

I can make it disappear
Despite these negative feelings, he is able to forget and move on, which shows that he is resilient

I can make it disappear 'have no fear'
He is so confident in his ability to overcome sadness and obstacles that he says others should not worry about these things

Sitting in my kitchen hey girl
He describes himself sitting in his kitchen, suggesting a place of comfort and peace

I'm turning into dust again
He feels like he is losing himself and becoming nothing, like dust that can be blown away easily

My melancholy baby
This is another metaphorical reference to an aspect of himself that can easily shift from happy to sad

The star of mazzy must
Mazzy Star was a band known for their melancholic music and this line can be interpreted as the artist feeling like he is the star of that music vibe

Push her voice inside of me
This could represent how sweet music or sweet moments with someone help him feel good

I'm overcoming gravity
This is a metaphor for how he is working his way up from negative emotions and making sure that he keeps going forward

It's easy when you're sad to be
For him, in some way, feeling down became a part of his life and just like gravity it is easy for something to pull you down

It's easy when you're sad 'said 'bout me'
This line shows that perhaps the artist feels like he was born to be sad, maybe people said that to him, maybe he thinks it's just his destiny

Just one note
One single moment or person can make him feel complete or incomplete depending on how they treat him or what they do

Could make me float
If that one note is played right or if that one person does the right things, then it can make him feel super happy

Could make me float away
This suggests that he is really looking forward to feeling happy and maybe leaving behind all of these negative emotions

One note from the song she wrote
He could be referring to the song of someone he loves or admires here, but one note from it would be enough to make him feel that way

Could fuck me where I lay
This is similar to the previous line, but with a sexual connotation. He suggests that that one note or person can make him feel so overwhelmed he'd be ready to have sex right there where he is standing

Just one note
This gets repeated to emphasize how impactful one moment or action can be

Could make me choke
This line is one of the darkest of the song, it represents how happiness or pleasure is such a rare occurrence that it can physically take him by surprise (asphyxiation)

One note that's not a lie
This is a line of hope that the very next moment or person he interacts with will be truthful and honest with him

Just one note
Reiteration used to emphasize the importance of one moment, one person or one thing

Could cut my throat
This is another dark metaphor used to emphasize how negative emotions like sadness can take over and overwhelm someone so much that it feels he's dying slowly

One could make me die
This shows how much impact someone's presence or absence can have and just how much it can impact for better or worse
