Take A Picture

In this song Filter uses a tricky homophone to conceal the true context of the entire song. The lyrics go: “Awake on my Airplane” The word airplane refers not to a sky vehicle, but is composed of two words air – plane. The only plane of existence with air that we have access to, is the physical universe, on earth. So, he is awake yet remains upon this plane of existence. At the end of the song, “Hey Dad, what do you think about your son now?” is his question to God, is God proud of him and his earthly works or not.

Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bear
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real

[Chorus:]
Could you take my picture
‘Cuz I won’t remember
Could you take my picture
‘Cuz I won’t remember
Could you take my picture
‘Cuz I won’t remember
Yeah

I don’t believe in
I don’t believe in
In your sanctity
Your privacy
I don’t believe in
I don’t believe in
Sanctity
A hypocrisy
Could everyone agree that
No one should be left alone
Could everyone agree that
They should not be left alone yeah
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Kicking and screaming

[Chorus]

Hey dad what do you think about your son now
Ah hey dad what do you think about your son now
