"I wrote this record while thirty thousand feet in the air
Stewardess complimenting me on my nappy hair
If I can fukk her in front of all of these passengers
They'll probably think I'm a terrorist, eat my asparagus"

Can someone break down these lines for me? I always found it off-putting and corny and ruined an otherwise great song for me

:patrice:


Am I missing some entendre or word play?

I'd interpret it the same.

He dreams of fukking a stranger (over) in front of strangers....kind of what he's doing to Drake.

What is there to break down, the lyrics explain the lyrics:

He wrote them 30,000 feet in the air.

The stewardess complimented him on his nappy hair.

He then went full JBO and briefly fantasized about smashing her right then and there.

He then realized how crazy that would make him look and how illegal that actually is.

All while eating asparagus on his in flight meal

:ehh:


He got asparagus in his in flight meal or you think he packed it himself?

Oh I get it, asparagus with the in flight meal signifies a level of opulence that would allow him to even entertain the thought of smashing the flight attendant :ohhh:

So no one knows what these lines mean?
A lot of times bars are meaningless, they just rhyme well so the writer says it and makes it loosely, randomly connect in his mind…and fans think it’s madd deep and meaningful because they don’t really get it, 😂.

So many arguments I’ve been in regarding Ghost lyrics and how meaningless they were as a kid. My big brother telling me I just don’t get it and I’m a 85’er, all types of shhit. Decades later, the nig Ghost admitted the shhit was meaningless. 🤷🏽‍♂️
