Planes
Revile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Departures, I'm racing
Heavy heat marching.
Rubber soles, slow me down,
Light shirt it's sweat drenched.
Sounds loud, of whispers,
Passing me over.
Cloudbanks and vapour,
Halos on angels.
All that surrounds me.
The nerves and her coffee.
Veins that are leaking,
No talk or seeking.

Solar flare, Hull breaches,
Breath of fresh air.
A face full of pressure.
Dry throat, hot breathing,
Air-conditioned dreaming.
It seems I will meet you.
Doubt cast,
Last is love,




As a smoke stack,
Thrown into a breeze.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Revile's song Planes depict a scene of departure and movement, with the persona racing through a busy airport with heavy heat and rubber soles slowing them down. The sounds of whispers and loud noises surround them as they navigate through the crowds. The imagery of clouds and vapors suggest that they may be boarding a plane or watching one take off. Halos on angels could symbolize the idea of hope and protection as they embark on a new journey. The nerves and her coffee could be a reference to the anxiety and anticipation that comes with traveling.


The second verse introduces a new setting with a solar flare and hull breaches, possibly alluding to a space travel theme. The persona is experiencing difficulty breathing and a dry throat in this new environment, but finds solace in air-conditioned dreaming. The final lines suggest that the persona is doubting their journey and whether they will meet their destination successfully. The final line, "As a smoke stack, thrown into a breeze" could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling helpless and out of control in their travels.


Overall, the lyrics to Planes create a sense of movement and uncertainty, with images of airports, clouds, and space travel. The persona is experiencing a range of emotions from excitement to anxiety to doubt as they journey to their destination.

Fun Facts.
Dusty is an Air Tractor AT-402, which is a gas turbine powered crop duster.
The upgraded version, the AT-802 (And also the AT-402) has 4 ton carrying capacity, and was used in the Air Force as a light scout, light CAS plane. It's a very capable design, and yes, it can be modified for racing, so the movie is somewhat realistic about that.

If Dusty really wants to compete he doesn't have to fly that high.
Most racing planes are Piston engine planes with Turbocharged engines. We can see a P-51C, a Hawker Sea Fury in the movie, which were WWII fighters which are nowdays modified for racing. The 2 other popular planes for racing are the F8F Bearcat, and the F2G Supercorsair (An upgraded version of the F4U corsair, which is what Skipper is (F4U-1D I think), I think only one F2G Exists though. These planes prefer to fly in higher altitude where aerodynamic drag is lower, thus can fly faster. They use geared super/turbochargers so their engines will always provide maximum horsepower even in altitudes where air is thin.
Dusty however has a Gas Turbine engine. A Gas Turbine makes more power the more air it can intake, indefinietly. In low altitude there's more air, and thus the engine creates more power. There is a point in a piston engine, where it's too much air, but for a turbine, that limit is insanely high. Dusty though also has that problem of genuenly being less aerodynamic than the repurposed Fighters.

Also, Ripslinger is a MiG-3 with P-51 Wings...
Ishani is a canard plane, she was pretty much a design that only exist because WWII designs, such as the XP-55 Ascender, and J7W1 Shinden

The Flashback scene bleeds from multiple wounds.
-It's said to take place at the Guadalcanal Campaign.
-You can see two Yamato-class battleships in the scenes (Yamto and Musashi) who were not in Guadalcanal, it was Kongou class Hiei and Kirishima.
-The VF-17 Did not take part of this battle, there was 0 carrier based corsairs in Guadalcanal
-The Carrier is a modern carrier, and not the USS Bunker Hill, which is the only ship that carried Corsairs in WWII.
-The USS Bunker Hill wasn't in Guadalcanal anyways.
-Holy Ship, how did they plan to attack the japanese ships? with 12.7mm Browning M2s? They didn't carry bombs or rockets, so they LITERALLY COMMITTED SUICIDE.



@brenothehedgehog8432

This movie was my childhood, i even have a dvd from the second movie (i also had one dvd of the first one but i lost it), im actually happy to see it on Disney+
I still want to know why does the girl (plane) that chubacabra likes has a different visual between the Brazillian and North American versions of the movie
She is a canadian in the north american version
But she is a brazillian in the brazillian version




And also the brazillian voice for Dusty fits better
Y E S i am a brazillian

The transition from "Wait does that mean there were Nazi planes in the past" to "TRAINING TIME!!" is to funny for me.

@rhysofsneezingdragon1758

Since cars 2 had a nazi, I think it's safe to say the luftwaffe existed.

Holy crap this movie’s existence means there’s a war on terror in this universe, along with a possible 9/11. Holy crap.

@somelamenamehowaboutmr.juk6231

How does that one work? Like a plane sneaks into the airport as an official airline plane and tries to get as many killed as possible? Or do some Iranian cars control the plane from the inside?

@truesnamel

@@somelamenamehowaboutmr.juk6231 the planes control themselves

@starkillersneed

@@somelamenamehowaboutmr.juk6231 Mind control perhaps? With all the wacky spy movie shit Cars 2 introduced, it's quite possible
