Skyjacker
Skyjacker's Mythical Descent: A Tale of High-Flying Deception
Lyrics
Fake name in a three piece suit
Describing someone using a false identity, dressed formally.
Lied and ticked no explosives
Deception without planting any explosive devices.
They didn't ask about no parachute
There was no inquiry about having a parachute.
Request granted for an aisle seat
Permission given to sit in an aisle seat.
Legroom to spare
Abundance of space for leg movement.
Could I grab a bourbon soda, please
Asking for a specific drink on the flight.
Fine white dress miss, avoid red wine
Advising a woman in a white dress to avoid red wine, possibly to prevent stains.
I expect some turbulence in just over an hour's time
Anticipating turbulence in about an hour.
A quick stop in Tacoma
Expecting a brief stop in Tacoma.
It's impossible to track a loner
A statement about being untraceable when solitary.
Transcending mythology
Going beyond conventional stories/myths.
Descending, watching eyes ain't seeing me
Descending and remaining unnoticed.
Briefcase secured, loot counted and stacked
Safely securing a briefcase with loot inside.
Tray table secured, cabin crew prepare for crash
Preparing for a potential crash by securing tray tables.
The bomb is armed, manoeuvres smooth
Indicates the readiness of an explosive device.
So if I hit this red handle, will that blow the hatch
Asking about activating a hatch-release mechanism.
November twenty-four, 'seventy-one
Specific date and flight number, referencing a historical event (D. B. Cooper's plane hijacking).
Northwest Orient F three hundred and five
Flight and number continuation from line 17.
A quick stop in Tacoma
Reiteration of expecting a stop in Tacoma.
It's impossible to track a loner
Reiteration of being untraceable while alone.
Transcending mythology
Reiteration of going beyond conventional stories/myths.
Descending, watching eyes ain't seeing me
Reiteration of descending and remaining unnoticed.
Freefall from mile high, air thin, skinny sky
Describes the experience of falling from a high altitude in thin air.
Two minutes, no oxygen to my gills
Two minutes without enough oxygen, emphasizing suffocation.
Altitude right, strap pulled, chute fills
Confirming the successful deployment of a parachute.
Smooth sailing as I prepare to hit the ground
Smooth descent in preparation for landing.
Timed just right, less than a click from the car waiting in town
Timing the landing close to a waiting car.
News travels slow here in the islands down south
Suggests a delay in receiving news in remote areas.
Police sketch? You wouldn't recognise me now
Asserting that the person has changed appearance so much that they wouldn't be recognizable based on a police sketch.
The federales said they found my body in a marsh
Authorities claimed to have found the person's body, contradicting the reality of the person being alive and enjoying a different life.
Then how am I sipping cocktails beachside through a thick moustache
The individual is relaxed and enjoying life despite being reported dead.
