be dangerous
We take risks just to feel alive


The lyrics to f(x)'s song Airplane deal with the fear and uncertainty that can come with falling in love. The metaphor of a plane ride is used to evoke the sense of danger and risk that accompanies opening oneself up to romantic feelings. The singer expresses a fear that the love they are experiencing is ultimately doomed to fail, and that the emotional fallout will be significant. However, despite this fear, they acknowledge that taking risks and feeling the highs and lows of life is what makes us truly feel alive.


The use of the airplane metaphor is particularly effective in conveying these emotions. Flying is inherently risky, and there is always the possibility of turbulence or even a crash. Similarly, falling in love involves putting oneself in a vulnerable position, with the potential for heartache and disappointment. However, just as flying can also be exhilarating and awe-inspiring, love can offer moments of pure joy and connection.
