Flying Monkey Lament 2
Shoshana Bean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Honey, let us take you there
You want the service to be VIP
So you can vacay anywhere
You should spend it where it′s warm
Flight attendants [?]
They ask you where you'll be?
You′re flying Monkey, you're flying Monkey
And our breathing masks are cute
And what should happen if our plane should crash?
Well, we all got parachutes
Overweight bags? They're on me
And we got rid of all our middles seats
And our WiFi here is free
You′re flying Monkey, you′re flying Monkey
In the song "Flying Monkey Lament 2" by Shoshana Bean, the lyrics speak to the experience of being a passenger on an airline. The opening lines suggest that the listener wants to travel and has somewhere they want to be, and the singer offers to take them there. The mention of VIP service indicates that the listener desires a high level of comfort and luxury during their travel. The lyrics then emphasize the idea of enjoying warm destinations, suggesting a desire for escapism and relaxation.
The chorus introduces the idea of being a "flying monkey," which could be interpreted metaphorically as a passenger who is constantly on the move, perhaps feeling trapped by their busy lifestyle. The song then highlights the amenities and perks of flying with this particular airline, such as seat belts that give the illusion of instant abs, cute breathing masks, and complimentary WiFi. The lyrics also mention the assurance of safety in the event of a crash, stating that all passengers have parachutes.
