We Are Pilots Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jaex 

Cover art for We Are Pilots lyrics by Shiny Toy Guns

My personal opinion on this song is that it's talking about unaccepting parents. That's not too hard to find out, but unaccepting of what? Homosexuality, maybe... since alot of people believe something is 'wrong' with homosexuals. If I put my self in that position, and 'came out' to my parents, I can see all the things in that song perfectly describing that situation.

"Sword beneath my clean dress" ~ All my life, my mother would scold me about the proper ladylike things.. Hiding a sword beneath a dress, could maybe mean hiding a more boyish part of herself?
