Matt Pless - Life Is Like an Airplane

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
I got nothing in common with anyone anymore
And I’m pretty damn sure we had nothing in common before
I’m stuck on an island, just singing the blues while the rest of world’s on a holiday cruise
I got nothing in common with anyone anymore

★ Verse 2 ★
No, I’m never inspired by anything anymore
Everybody’s an artist, so what to you need me for?
If you cut off your ear, they will call you insane
But they’ll say you’re a genius when it’s hung in a frame
No, I’m never inspired by anything anymore

★ Chorus ★
‘Cause life is like an airplane, headed for a building
And before the crashlanding, underneath the screaming
You can hear everybody on board singing
"na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na, na na na na"

★ Verse 3 ★
No, I don’t feel like traveling anywhere anymore
I can’t even get up to walk to the grocery store
How can I ever find change on the couch?
And I quit exercising ‘cause nothing works out
No, I don’t feel like traveling anywhere anymore

★ Verse 4 ★
I don’t want to keep singing this song to you anymore
‘Cause you’re tapping your feet but deep down we both know that you’re bored
I don’t play for money or fortune or fame
But give me your dollars and have a nice day
I don’t want to keep singing this song to you anymore

★ Chorus ★
‘Cause life is like an airplane, headed for a building
And before the crashlanding, underneath the screaming
You can hear everybody on board singing
"na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na, na na na na"

Song Description:

edit soundcloud

"Life Is Like an Airplane" by Matt Pless is a raw and introspective song that delves into the feeling of isolation and disconnect from the world. The lyrics speak of feeling out of touch with society, uninspired by the art and people around, and a sense of hopelessness. The chorus compares life to an airplane headed for a building, a metaphor for the inevitable crash and chaos that awaits. Despite the bleak outlook, there is a sense of unity in the repetition of "na na na" in the chorus, suggesting that even in the face of despair, we are all in this together. The song captures the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to find meaning in a world that can often feel overwhelming.
