Airplane

j-hope's 'Airplane' is a track that encapsulates the journey of achieving one's dreams against all odds. The lyrics reflect on the artist's personal experiences and struggles before reaching success. The song begins with a recollection of a time when j-hope felt burned by the harshness of life, symbolized by the 'dry land.' Despite the challenges, he always looked up to the blue sky, yearning to soar like an airplane. This metaphor represents his ambition and desire to rise above his circumstances.

As the song progresses, j-hope reflects on his disbelief at his own success, coming from Gwangju to the heights of fame. He remembers the excitement of his first flight to Japan, which symbolizes the beginning of his journey to fulfilling his dreams. The mention of 'Everywhere issue man' and the flashing cameras indicate his current status as a public figure. He expresses gratitude for his safe journey and the blessings he has received, acknowledging the divine hand in his achievements.

The latter part of the song addresses the envy and criticism he faces from others. j-hope responds to the negativity with indifference, choosing to focus on his happiness and success. The repeated references to flying above the clouds and enjoying the view from his 'airplane' serve as a metaphor for his elevated status and the joy he finds in his accomplishments. The song is a celebration of his journey, from the struggles to the triumphs, and an inspiration to others to keep pursuing their dreams.
