aviatik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I take off and I fly away
I see you waving from the ground
I see you calling out
But it's true, I gave it to you,
Read all the way through
"Granddad, I'm leaving
You've got to let it go.
If I had known back then
My destination
I'd be there right now
Last night and you're out on bail
Though many miles took a toll on you
Drive around in circles
But it never got you anywhere
But you know that I'm going away
From this place that was never my home
And you know that I'm leaving today
And I'll walk through this world as a ghost
Suffocate, hearts shatter and palpitate
You're never going to break this fate
So just watch it escalate
In these lyrics, the singer is talking about leaving someone or something behind and moving on to their destination. They mention leaving nothing but a vapor trail as they take off and fly away, while seeing the person they are leaving behind waving and calling out to them. The singer then reminisces about a past conversation where they told someone they were leaving for their destination, and urges that person to let it go.
The lyrics then shift to the present, where the person left behind is out on bail and driving around in circles, never seeming to get anywhere. The singer acknowledges that they are leaving behind a place that was never their home and will walk through the world as a ghost, hinting at the sense of detachment they feel from their surroundings. The lyrics end with a sense of finality, as the singer states that nothing will break their fate and encourages the person they left behind to watch their life escalate.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of both sadness and determination as the singer moves on to their destination while leaving behind someone they care about. There is a tension between the desire to pursue their own goals and the need to let go of the past, and the lyrics capture that dichotomy well.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll leave nothing but a vapor trail
I will disappear suddenly and without a trace.
When I take off and I fly away
When I leave and fly away, it is final.
I see you waving from the ground
I see you saying goodbye from the ground.
I see you calling out
I see you trying to stop me from leaving.
But it's true, I gave it to you,
But it's true, I told you to let me go.
Read all the way through
Read my honest and truthful explanation, from beginning to end.
"Granddad, I'm leaving
"Granddad, I'm leaving.
And I'm going to the moon"
And I am going on an out-of-this-world adventure.
You've got to let it go.
You have to accept that I need to go and do my own thing.
If I had known back then
If I had known my fate earlier,
My destination
Where I am supposed to be in my life from the very start,
I'd be there right now
I would have already accomplished this by now.
Last night and you're out on bail
Recent trials and tribulations contributed to your bail.
Though many miles took a toll on you
Although the distance affected you emotionally,
Drive around in circles
You search for me in circles, but you'll never find me.
But it never got you anywhere
You will never locate me because I am far gone.
But you know that I'm going away
But you know that I am leaving.
From this place that was never my home
From this place where I have never belonged,
And you know that I'm leaving today
And you know that I am starting my journey today.
And I'll walk through this world as a ghost
And I will become a fading memory to the people I left behind.
Suffocate, hearts shatter and palpitate
Feeling asphyxiated, having a broken heart, and palpitations are common emotions.
You're never going to break this fate
You cannot change what has already been destined.
So just watch it escalate
You could only watch everything get worse from here.

I love the part in the beginning with the overhead announcements while she does the cute little hand movements. I find it to be the most relaxing part of the video, and I frequently just watch it over and over ><
