Wings are now a part of me
(I'm) Disappearing straight
Into the night alone I'll make my journey
In this life and endless solo flight
Bow thy head and close thy peasant mind
Now comes the deafening roar
Followed by an eternal calm
Silence! silence, the sound of emptiness
The absence of your moaning virgin whore
Sky falls down like a fountain
Washing over me with calming void
If this peace is called loneliness
We were truly meant to stand alone
Meant to stand alone
Blue overhead, since the dawn of man
Heavens follow, wherever we roam
Blue turns black, heavens retreat
Losing a faith in between
What is set in stone, when stone no longer paves your road?
When paths are no longer guided by earthly tomes
You too can soar
(I'm) Disappearing straight
Into the night alone I'll make my journey
Bow thy head and close thy peasant mind
Now comes the deafening roar
Followed by an eternal calm
Silence! silence, the sound of emptiness
The absence of your moaning virgin whore
Sky falls down like a fountain
Washing over me with calming void
If this peace is called loneliness
We were truly meant to stand alone
Meant to stand alone
Blue overhead, since the dawn of man
Heavens follow, wherever we roam
Blue turns black, heavens retreat
Losing a faith in between
When paths are no longer guided by earthly tomes
You too can soar

Ryan was discussing writing songs about like anime and shit on facebook and someone said, "You should write a song about atheism."
To which he replied: "I already have, it's called Aviation."
Take that how you will.
How many different ways are there to take it? My first impression was always that the lyrics to this song were about just that.

It seems pretty obvious to me, from the lyrics, that this is a song about transcending the religious mythology and primitive notions of "heaven" that have been made obsolete by human advance. Aviation is presented as a way of freeing our minds, breaking the barrier of our planet's atmosphere to discover just how much more there is to the universe than our one planet and our antiquated belief systems. This just confirms that.
