Aerial Troubles Lyrics
[Intro: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz]
The numbing is not (The numbing’s not)
It isn’t, not working anymore
[Verse 1: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
The numbing is not working anymore
An unfillable hole
An insatiable state of consumption (Systemic)
Assigned trajectory (Extortion)
[Chorus: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
Greed is an unfillable hole (Insatiable)
Avid the fear of death
Thirsty is the fear of death (There is no way)
We can’t eat our way (Out of it)
We can’t eat our way out of it no more
[Verse 2: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
The juncture invites us to provide care (Palliative)
Dying modernity
While offering antenatal care for the inception
Of the new yet undefined future
[Outro: Lætitia Sadier]
That holds the prospect for greater wisdom
Aerial Troubles Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz]
The intro sets the tone for the song by repeating the line “The numbing is not working anymore,” signaling a sense of frustration and disillusionment with modern escapism. The numbing effect, which could be interpreted as society’s attempt to distract itself from deeper issues, is now failing, indicating a moment of awakening or realization.
[Verse 1: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
In this verse, the lyrics delve into the emptiness of a world driven by insatiable consumption, describing a “hole” that can never be filled. The phrase “assigned trajectory” suggests a sense of being locked into a predetermined path, possibly alluding to the rigidity of modern life, while “extortion” highlights the exploitative nature of the system.
[Chorus: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
The chorus underscores the theme of greed and its inability to satisfy. “Avid the fear of death” suggests that the fear of mortality drives this relentless consumption, yet it remains unquenchable. The phrase “we can’t eat our way out of it no more” implies that material solutions are insufficient in addressing deeper existential concerns.
[Verse 2: Lætitia Sadier, Xavi Muñoz, Marie Merlet]
This verse introduces a more hopeful but still uncertain note, as it speaks of the potential for care and renewal in a dying modern world. The reference to “antenatal care” symbolizes a nurturing approach to the future, offering a contrast to the destructive forces of the present, but it’s still “undefined,” suggesting that the future remains uncertain and unformed.
[Outro: Lætitia Sadier]
The outro carries a sense of cautious optimism, with the notion that “greater wisdom” may arise from the current chaos. This could be a call for reflection and change, offering the possibility that through the challenges of modernity, there could emerge a more enlightened path forward.
