Kids on Holiday
Escape into Joy: Kids on Holiday's Whimsical Flight of Freedom
Lyrics
Are you waiting for me?
Asking if someone is waiting at the airport.
At the end of the airport
Describing the location as the endpoint of the airport.
I'm off buying our tickets
Indicating the speaker is buying tickets.
Auteur in hibernation
Suggesting someone creative is currently inactive.
But I'm feeling impatient
Expressing impatience despite being inactive.
We were late for departure
Referring to being delayed for departure.
And the smell of pajamas
Associating a particular smell with a frivolous feeling.
Is what makes me feel frivol
Feeling frivolous due to the smell of pajamas.
There are minutes for sleeping
Having limited time for sleep.
But we didn't have minutes to spare
Not having any spare time.
So you're feeling sleepy
Observing someone feeling sleepy.
Sympathize with the retard
Showing empathy for someone perceived as slow.
Being held by his mother
Describing a scene of a mother holding her child.
She's got spit in her napkin
Noting the mother has a napkin with spit on it.
And she's pushing him that way
Describing the mother's actions towards her child.
Like the stench through the men's room
Comparing an unpleasant odor to a men's room.
And it's making you nauseous
Feeling nauseous due to a situation.
Where the hell have I got to?
Expressing confusion about location or purpose.
There's a boy who's a Krishna
Describing a boy who finds someone attractive.
And he thinks you look pretty
Noticing the boy's attention to stockings.
Well, he's eyeing your stockings
Implying the boy has resources to offer.
He's got books to help you with your life
Assuring there's no need to worry, as it's just a vacation.
But there's no need to worry
Receiving a different car than expected.
This is just a vacation
Referring to people blocking the way.
It's not permanent leaving
Expressing affection after facing obstacles.
Every kid gets excited
Remembering shared experiences or promises.
When his parents are yelling
Shouting in a public space.
They ordered a Lincoln
Anticipating the airplane's arrival.
And they received a compact
Pleading for enjoyment and effort.
And there's fat nuns and tenors
Encouraging a positive experience.
Who are blocking departure
Encouraging having fun during a holiday.
Till I'm birthed from their vulvas
Blank line, no specific meaning.
And I kiss you and hug you
-Do you remember our forfeits?
-And you shout at the platform
-Here we come mister airplane
Expressing anticipation or excitement towards boarding an airplane.
Please, Please, Please, Please
Repetition for emphasis on the plea for enjoyment.
Try, Try, Try
Repetition for emphasis on urging effort.
To enjoy your roots
Encouraging embracing one's origins or heritage.
Have some fun, fun
Encouraging having fun during a holiday.
Kids on holiday
Concluding with the theme of children enjoying a vacation.
