The title, “Hit the Plane Down”, invokes a vivid image. The image in the listener’s mind connotes anger and death. The phrase could be a command, with the singer ordering someone to destroy the plane. It is unknown whether the plane is literal or figurative-it may just be a metaphor for destructive...
[Verse 1]
I'm up on a hilltop where I
Keep you in sight, my little toys
I buried you because the sun will melt them
Got you up my sleeve, got you up my sleeve
I got you up my sleeve, got you up my sleeve
[Chorus]
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Taking over
[Verse 2]
Taking over your life, I'm taking over your scene
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I hope you see my face
I hope you see my face
[Chorus]
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down (Taking over)
There's no survivors
There's no survivors
[Bridge]
Don't even snow (We're not that disturbed)
Don't even snow
[Chorus]
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
I hit the plane down
No survivors
No survivors
Nobody arrived
[Verse 3]
I'm taking over your life, I'm taking over the scene
I'm taking everything
All, want it all, my little trick
I wouldn't mind just a milligram up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
I've got you up my sleeve
[Chorus]
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
There's no survivors
[Verse 4]
Taking over your life
Taking over your life
I'm taking over the scene
I'm taking everything
I'm taking everything
I'm taking over (I've got to)
[Outro]
I've got to melt it
I've got to melt it (Woo, that's good)
I've got to melt it
I, I hit the plane down
Hit the plane down
There's no survivors
There's no survivors
