Airplanes
Starlite Singers Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky Are like Shooting Stars I can really use a wish right now Wish right now, wish right now
The singer is wishing for something to come true, and he compares airplanes in the night sky to shooting stars that people often make wishes upon.

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
The singer is unhappy with his current life, and he wishes he could go back to a simpler time before all the partying and chaos.

And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion And all the pandemonium and all the madness There comes a time where you fade to the blackness And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
The singer is overwhelmed by the glamorous lifestyle he's living, and he feels empty and alone when he's not being constantly contacted by others.

And you hoping but them people never call you back But that's just how the story unfolds You get another hand soon after you fold And when your plans unravel And they sayin' what would you wish for If you had one chance
The singer sometimes feels lonely and ignored, but he knows that life will continue to move forward, and he'll get new opportunities even if his plans fall apart.

So airplane airplane sorry I'm late I'm on my way so don't close that gate If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
The singer is apologizing for being late and promising to catch up quickly, even if he has to change his plans to do so.

Somebody take me back to the days Before this was a job, before I got paid Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank Yeah back when I was tryin' to get into the subway
The singer longs for the days before music was his job, and he didn't have to worry about money or fame. He reminisces about when he was still working hard to get noticed.

And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it But now a days we rappin' to stay relevant I'm guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
The singer remembers a time when he rapped purely for fun, but now he feels like he needs to keep rapping to stay relevant in the music industry. He hopes that if he makes some wishes on airplanes, he can somehow go back to rapping for the joy of it.

Before the politics that we call the rap game And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape And back before I tried to cover up my slang But this is for the Cada, what's up Bobby Ray
The singer wishes he could go back to a time before the complicated politics of the music industry, when he was still struggling to get people to listen to his music. He regrets trying to make his slang more marketable, and he hopes to connect with his fans like he used to.

So can I get a wish to end the politics And get back to the music that started this sh-t So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta airplanes
The singer is frustrated with the politics involved in making music, and he wishes he could go back to the pure enjoyment of making music for the sake of it. He hopes that by making wishes on airplanes, he can find a way to reconnect with his passion for music.

I could really use a wish right now I could really use a wish right now Like, like, like shootin stars I could really use a wish right now A wish a wish right now
The singer repeats that he really needs a wish right now and compares it to making a wish on a shooting star. He hopes that the act of making a wish will help him find what he's looking for.
