This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Dash 7 in the air,
Dropped to the sun alone
Jets hum
I wish that I was still there
Props not a jet, alone
Where the sun doesn't come down
Because I've found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
When you touch down
Dash 7 pointed down
The captain's announcement
Doesn't make a sound
Because I've found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
I found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
When you touch down
Dropped to the sun alone
Jets hum
I wish that I was still there
Props not a jet, alone
Where the sun doesn't come down
Because I've found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
When you touch down
Dash 7 pointed down
The captain's announcement
Doesn't make a sound
Because I've found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
I found the way those engines sound
Will make it kiss the ground
When you touch down

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Rated 0 The de Havilland Canada Dash7 was developed as a short takeoff and landing plane, with a lot of noise control restrictions of smaller airports in mind. It had large props which spun at slower speeds around 1000rpm-which is very unlike most modern planes, turboprop or otherwise, creating some sense of trouble:). Also the interior noise of the turboprops at any speed would've been deafening, hence the
Dash 7 pointed down The captain's announcement, Doesn't make a sound
just my take
I gotta think that Jeff Tweety was referring to the Pratt and Whitney JT8D-7 turbofan engine. The "Dash Seven" as pilots (airline pilots who've flown them--like me) refer to the series of engine. For instance, there's the JT8D-1, JT8D-7, JT8D-9, JT8D-15...etc. The JT8D-7 was a very reliable, very common engine used on many airliners such as the DC-9, Boeing 737-200 and Boeing 727. It has a distinct whine/roar--especially during takeoff.
Sadly, the days of the "Dash Seven" are pretty much over. This variant of the JT8D had lower power, pretty high fuel consumption and made lots of noise and smoke. So...not much need for them anymore. At least not here in the states. It's one of the reasons the 737-200's, 727's and most of the DC-9's are all gone from the skies around here.
But...pilots like me who've flown them really did come to love their reliability and ruggedness. And...it made "kissing the ground" pretty exhilerating at the end of the flight. JMHO.

Somebody help me with this song, which has always haunted me? Something about fear of flying/fear of relationships? What is the title, "Dash 7 pointed down"?
make a dash (-) and then put a seven (7) right up against it and you got a crude airplane. with the point of the 7 pointing down... headline news
A Dash 7 is a nickname for a particular turbo-prop passenger airplane first built in the 1970's. Probably just your basic fear of flying thing going on here.
I think the dash-7 plane references are a metaphor for a failing relationship.
I'm convinced that pedal steel guitar will many any song ever written into a better song. This is one of the best songs on "A.M."
wow i just discovered this gem. i agree with s-squared and bejimouse's comments
