Sun up, we wait all day
Sun's up, we wait all day, all day
While the hell outside is kept away
If only we could move away from here
This is how we build a place
An aviary for today
An aviary for today
Let's disappear till tomorrow
Let's disappear till tomorrow
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear

Blow up these plane parades, let's go
To an aviary far from home
To an aviary far from home
A one hand clap is me and you, and you, and you
While the hell outside is kept away
If only we'd moved away
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear

Last vacation was the same
We could move away
Last vacation was the same
We could move away
Last vacation was the same
(The same)

Sun down now
We have built our place
An aviary
Forever
An aviary
Forever
Forever
Forever

Reappear, oh
Reappear, oh
Reappear, oh
Reappear, oh

    My Interpretation:...i mean...this song mighta been written on heathrow airport but im pretty sure its about getting away from where you are...leaving this damn ole society behind and build a new home somewhere out there, where we might live in peace. yer..find a new place to live and people who understand your thoughts and all your confusing words...dontcha think so?

    General Comment:They openly admit, and it's known by most, that it is about being delayed at Heathrow

    General Comment:i think it's about being stuck on Greece when and your flying with Olympic Airlines... :P makes sense since the lead-singer is Greek..! and that airline company has got a lot of delays usually...
