Airlines Lyrics Meaning

[Интро]
The intro asks if something can be done better, suggesting a sense of doubt or contemplation about improvement.

[Припев]
The chorus paints a picture of flying through the sky, symbolized by birds and airlines, which represent a feeling of escape. However, there’s a darker undertone, as the “airlines” are seen spraying something harmful (“dirt”) over them. The flight attendants are caught in their own struggles, possibly due to fear or sadness. The singer feels disconnected, losing touch with reality while approaching a “paradise,” a place of hope, but the path there feels uncertain and unstable.

[Куплет 1]
In the first verse, the singer reflects on a solitary, almost nihilistic existence. Surrounded by smoke and nicotine, they feel heavy with inner pain that can’t be healed. They mention the emptiness of life, the constant struggle to seem like things are okay while dealing with deep emotional weight. The lyrics suggest a detachment from the world, surrounded by meaningless distractions like TV. There’s a desire to escape, but life keeps pulling them back into a cycle of pain. Music becomes the only outlet for relief from this existential crisis.

[Бридж]
The bridge speaks of the journey being long and difficult. The singer feels they’re pushing forward, overcoming obstacles, yet there’s a sense that the more they face challenges, the stronger they become—though this strength might be a product of the pain or “breakdown” they endure.

[Припев (Repeated)]
The repeated chorus reinforces the idea of flying, searching for paradise, but again, there’s a sense of unease. The chemicals (dirt) being sprayed and the flight attendants’ fears hint at a larger, hidden struggle. The singer’s connection to reality is slipping, and even though they approach a hopeful destination, it’s unclear whether it will offer relief.

[Куплет 2]
In the second verse, the singer and their companion are flying through a desolate desert-like landscape, separated from the world, with no one responding to their calls. Despite being together in the sky, they feel alone. There’s a sense of disorientation, with references to places like VLG (a Russian city) or Tokyo, creating a feeling of being lost in an unfamiliar place. The mention of a dried-up Euphrates River and the lack of modern conveniences highlights a bleak future. The reference to a compass instead of a watch symbolizes a search for direction, amid a destroyed world.

[Бридж (Repeated)]
The bridge introduces an image of a starry sky, with the singer feeling cold, like it’s February, suggesting a sense of emotional numbness. The metaphor of drifting like in the video game “NFS Skyline” illustrates the feeling of aimlessly navigating through life. The “airlines” above them represent an escape, but it’s uncertain whether they’ll find what they’re searching for.

[Припев (Final)]
The final chorus reiterates the theme of flying towards something hopeful (paradise), but the uncertainty and fear of the journey still linger. The sense of losing connection while being on the edge of something new and possibly better is amplified, leaving the outcome unclear.
