Cabin Pressure
Ted Glen Extended Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're flying low
You're flying low
Now please be seated with your safety seat belts on
You're flying low
You're flying low
That's really not a secret anymore
(?) and it can save us all
You're flying low
And if you fall from thirty thousand feet
it hurts
So scared of heights
So scared of heights
And those strange sounds
don't comfort me at all
Why won't you stop me buying liquor like you said?
That's not a glass
I'll think I'll pass
(...)
We've got a message for the people staring out
We're getting in
a stormy cloud
This isn't anybody's fault
Not even yours
Not even mine
Not even mine
But turbulence is just a part of life
(?) and it can save us all
You're flying low
You're flying low
And if you fall from thirty thousand feet
it hurts
So scared of heights
So scared of heights
And those strange sounds
don't comfort me at all
It's not that scary if you think of dying fast
Like in a crash
It's just a flash
Disguise yourself and you can rest here on my knee
untill you sleep
untill you sleep
And I will watch you while you fall away
(...)
(?) and it can save us all
You're flying low
You're flying low
And if you fall from thirty thousand feet
it hurts
So scared of heights
So scared of heights
And those strange sounds
don't comtfort me at all, no
Why can't you watch that cabin pressure
like you said?
You're flying low
You're flying low
Now please be seated with your safety seat belts on
That's not a bird
A flying thing
Thus I was up in here
was just
a dream.

Detta är fantastiskt

Cabin Pressue av Tchaikovski? Vanskelig å skrive sin egen melodi tydeligvis.

Hvilken låt tenker du på?
Sindre
Faen mente du nå, Amund?

Slapp av litt, a, Sindre. Ingen grunn til å bli irritert før du har hørt han ut, i hvert fall. Han har et godt poeng. Sjekk ut: The Seasons, op. 37:a: VI. June: Barcarolle av Tchaikovsky.
