    A metaphor... not really about planes at all.
    CD: "Album"   Label: Lotto Records
    Credits: Music by Scott Metzger. Lyrics by Scott Metzger and Tim Shortnacy

    Story Behind the Song
    I came up with the idea for this song a few years ago during my college years while attending one of the two frat parties I've ever been to. It isn't a song about airplanes, or burning airplanes, or being trapped in burning airplanes. It is a metaphor. I don't think I need to say anything more.

    Note: I realize the subject matter, although metaphorical, could be offensive to some people post September 11. I hope people can look past the metaphor, as I believe there is a meaningful, non-offensive message on the other side.

    Lyrics
    It was a flight to finish all flights
    The destination unknown
    Miles above the city with
    My problems far below
    Out my window the horizon
    Streches to the sun
    As I realize that
    My momentum is offset by gravity

    And a flash the engines collapse
    Everyone Panics the moment is past
    I'm Trapped Inside A Burning Plane
    With People I'd Hoped to Never Meet

    Climb for my oxygen mask
    They rip it away
    As if to ask
    Why I'd think I'd have a chance
    When they life they love
    Is sure to last

    Flaming confession of the callous kids
    The gravity grasps for our knowing sins
    I'm Trapped Inside A Burning Plane
    With People I'd Hope To Never Meet

    With the horizon gone
    I swear I can see the sun
    Though the haze and my choking lungs
    Keep me focused on reality
    I swear I can see the sun
    Through the have and my choking lungs
    Though the hysterical cries of the damned
    Keep me focused on reality

    When The Flames Are All Gone
    The Pain Still Lingers On
    I'm Trapped Inside A Burning Plane
    With People I'd Hoped To Never Meet
