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.

Song Meaning

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.
