First class, the movie is boring
I look out over the snowy peaks
There's a passenger missing and
The flight attendants are acting rather strange
A stewardess is telling us everything is fine
"Everybody stay calm everything is fine"

Now the rumors rise without delay
Sheer speculation
But I'd really like to know
What's going on inside the plane

Mid-flight
Soaring into this winter night
While the captain keeps the lid tight
On what's really going down
Stowed away
A saboteur in the cargo bay
Carries a gun, he's lost his head
He's not afraid to go down

Snowstorm, bombarding the hilltops
We're caught in the mix-up
I look out into the fog
We're shrouded in a sheet, stuck shaking
And swerving off course
I hear the captain's voice
"Please stay in your seats
We're experiencing turbulence, stay in your seats"

Now the tension rises without delay
Sheer paranoia
But I'd really like to know
Who's in control of this plane

"Attention!
Failure in two of the engines
I propose we abandon ship
'Cause this one's going down"
But the flight crew
Reports to the cockpit
"Bad news, there's bulletholes in the parachutes
We're not getting out"

Chaos in the sky
A rocky landing on a mountainside
Now we're buried in the snow

Wake up, most others are still unconscious
And things look hopeless
But at least I'm still alive and not alone

It's daybreak
I watch as the others slowly wake
To a desperate situation, then I hear someone call out
"Look around us
There's silhouettes on the mountains
The choppers have finally found us
Now we're going home"

We're going home

    Is it twisted that I think this song is kinda funny? I found out what the title means: Hello, Jack ...or Hi, Jack

    Get it? It's about a hijack!

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
