Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Says that haven't been with her
First I think its joke man
But then I see I'm with a scared person in the dark
Oh my my my my
Who's landing in My hangar
Who's Landing in my hanger
She's telling stories secrets about us
Doin' things she learned with me
Giggling over cigarettes in bed
I heard her cuz she musta been kinda wild
Oh my my my
Who's Landing in my Hangar
Who's Landing in my hangar
I go rat tat tat
There she is smiling so sweetly
Here and her beau lookin' at me
It takes but a tear in my eye
To see her lies are the same from the front or behind
Oh my my my
Who's Landing in my hangar
Who's Landing in my hangar
The Girl I've been inside of all night
Says that haven't been with her
First I think its joke man
But then I see I'm with a scared person in the dark
Oh my my my my
Who's landing in My hangar
Who's Landing in my hanger
The lyrics to The Human Switchboard's song "Who's Landing in My Hangar?" depict a confusing and unsettling situation. The singer describes being with a girl all night, but she denies any involvement with them. Initially, the singer believes it's a joke, but soon realizes the girl is scared and they are in a dark and uncertain situation.
The repeated line, "Who's landing in my hangar?" serves as a metaphor for someone invading their personal space or intruding into their life. It conveys a sense of bewilderment and a desire to understand who this person is and why they are present. The hangar symbolizes a private and intimate space that has been trespassed upon.
The girl in question begins to reveal secrets and stories about their supposed past encounters. The mention of her giggling over cigarettes in bed indicates a playful and intimate connection between them. However, the singer suspects that she might have a wild nature, implying a certain unpredictability or unreliability in her behavior.
The chorus, "Oh my my my, who's landing in my hangar?" is repeated to express the singer's ongoing confusion and distress. They feel a mix of surprise, frustration, and perhaps a tinge of betrayal caused by this unexpected situation. The repetition emphasizes their desire to understand the truth behind the girl's claims and who might be involved.
In the final stanza, the singer finally confronts the girl and her partner, noticing her sweet smile and realizing the consistency of her lies. The tear in their eye represents the emotional impact of discovering the girl's deceit, and the realization that she is creating the same falsehoods no matter how she presents herself. The lyrics conclude with a repetition of the chorus, highlighting the singer's ongoing struggle to comprehend the situation and identify who is intruding upon their personal space and emotions.
Overall, "Who's Landing in My Hangar?" explores themes of confusion, deceit, and invasion of personal boundaries, while also reflecting the singer's desire for clarity and understanding in a perplexing and unsettling situation.
