This song is part two/two of the journey in the plane. Unlike the previous song, in this song I am not content with being up in the air so I jump out of the plane. This serves as a metaphor for me wanting to live life in the present and dive into opportunities rather than always worrying about the f...
[Intro]:
"Good afternoon, this is your captain speaking. We will be arriving at Midway international airport in around 20 minutes. Please remain seated and fasten your seat belts at this time. Thank you."
[Hook]:
Jump out and dive in
Not worrying about whether I will survive it
This blue and green looks new to me
I've been, looking forward to more surprises
Now dive in
Now dive in
Jump out and dive in
Yeah
My back pressed against the fake blue leather
Even though I know I see the seat belt sign on
I forget the icon, and I pull the lever
Remove the tether
You already knew that I'm way too clever
You already knew that I had to hold together two wings that are losing two new feathers
Losing my feathers from being
Cramped in tight places
Maybe that's better, I mean
Look at the things that I'm faced with
Decisions, decisions, what I wanna do with my future
Too consumed with ludicrous lyrics to hear them calling me stupid
For not planning out the next four years of my life
I don't have that 2020 vision I'm still 4 years behind
Sixth sense is mentioning that I should do what I believe
I don't wanna follow I wanna lead
Then how am I supposed to follow my dreams?
Dream of ascension is the only dream I conceive
Get me out of this madness, oxygen apparatus is what I need, Too much tension for me to mention
I can't finish this sentence, at this altitude I just cannot breathe
I gotta
[Hook]:
Jump out and dive in
Not worrying about whether I will survive it
This blue and green looks new to me
I've been, looking forward to more surprises
Now dive in
Now dive in
Jump out and dive in
Yeah
[Verse 2]:
Taking a look around me
Everybody sleeping and snoring or eating and pouring
A glass of this Kool-Aid
On a cool day
If you wanna give it to me
I would say
Not today
If you wanna give it to me
If you wanna give it to me
I would say not today
Tryna make it past, this middle aged man
Inconspicuous
Its ridiculous to picture this:
Man leaning back passed out
With a napkin in his hand and a shot glass out
Purple droplet running down his chin
No time to be an optimist
Ain't no stopping what's inside of his esophagus
So now begins
Going to the back of the plane
Trying not to be so obvious
Unfortunately for me it is hard to remain anonymous
When I'm the only one standing
Plane 20 minutes from landing
None of these other passengers understand what I'm planning
Flight attendant demanding that I go back and he asking like "what are you tryna do?"
I say "nothing. I gotta use
The restroom"
And I slowly I just move past him
Masking my true intentions and moving toward the engines
The back of the cabin where the rest of the crew is relaxing
One of them stands up and starts asking me what is happening
For a moment I look into his eyes and hold it, but to his surprise, like flash I lash out and start attacking
Swift as a pickpocket caught in the middle of Manhattan
I snatch his batch of keys off him and dash to the back panel
Open the hatch and grab the black parachute back pack
Unlatch the plane door only to be stormed with an insane roar
Powerful gusts of wind rushing in
Causing me to back track
I don't even know where I got them
But I put on some wind goggles
Looking over the edge the drop is mind boggling
Beneath me I see a sea of blue and little bit of green
Wispy clouds moving around like they surround an addict of nicotine
I thought I was going to Chicago but now I'm going over the Atlantic
Breathe in, breath out
Ain't no time for panic
This vortex of air forcing out like a vacuum pump
But then I remembered when if feels scary, [sample: that is exactly when you jump]
So I jumped out and then...
Dive in
[hook]
The horizon is spiraling as I tumble down to the earth
I straighten into a nose dive admiring the blessing and curse
Of this situation that I'm facing
Sky's terrain is so diverse
A few hues of blue form a gradient that seems to disperse
Into a cascade of grayish haze that slowly fades away
Into later day as i pave the way
Thru the haze as if crusading thru the masquerade
These smoky clouds moving out like I threw the last grenade
Activating the sense of a vast brigade
I don't feel the wind I feel like I'm floating eternally
Floating as uncertainly as a moon around mercury
Howling air across my ears sharper then dripping burgundy serpent teeth
But I welcome the hurting, see there's no so such thing as a useless adversity
I've spent so time thinking years down the line
That I've forgotten how to live life in the now
Before I'm past my prime
I need to dive, into new opportunities
Embrace changes as they arrive, unafraid to act a bit stupidly
If it means that I'm being true to me
I don't care how far in the future you can see
As I make my descent I take my parachute pack off
And let the bag out of my grasp and, letting it shoot back, lost
Forever, finally shed all my feathers
All together, heading to some place a little bit better
Pinched my nose, closed my eyes, shut my mouth
I guess I finally found the guts to jump out
And then
[splash noise]
Dive In (Take Flight II) was produced by RMS.
Logic’s song “Metropolis” was definitely an inspiration for the pace and feel of this beat. This beat is mostly original, composed instrumentation except for the saxophone samples. My favorite part about this one is the sax solo at the very end, which was sampled from a Youtube video I found of a st...
