first off let me say that this song is amazing and a creative masterpiece..
to me this song means a lot of things
i feel that the jet and 707 referance is a metaphor that is open for any individual interpretation
one individual theory of mine is that the jet is a referance to drugs, a major part of steve's life.. in music air planes have many times been a metaphor for getting high..
in music, subject matter and themes are rarely straight forward and spoon fed to the listener .. as in it should always be open to interpretation and what you make of it.. i feel jet airliner is a transitional crossroads type of song about moving on from an experimental phase and not getting "caught up in that funky shit goin down in the city" and also coming to realize that the "big wheel keeps on spinnin around" .. it is about moving on and taking charge of life and not getting "carried to far away" from reality when getting on the "707" haha
"dont carry me too far away because its here that i got to stay"
sleep you make some valid points..
