The Planes from The Walls by Holly Henderson

I wrote The Planes while I was at home. I’d been staring out of the window, watching the planes go by, probably from Gatwick Airport, taking people to a new, exciting place. And there I was, still, in the place I’d always been.

That feeling, met the one I’d always had since growing up. Intrusive thoughts creeping in at the most inappropriate times. Like when I’d sit on a plane, and imagine myself falling out of the sky, wishing I’d stayed home. But it isn’t a bleak song, it’s a reminder that the fears holding me in my place, were not real. And I can open the door and leave them behind at any time.

Lyrics

I weaponised all my feelings to lock them up
And to hurt
But your reaction was that of a weary bird
With no flight
We got along
Never really thought
About the cost of living for nights
Never waking up
It’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough

We got distracted by the planes that would pass us by
What a sound
Hope they don’t crash in the sea and leave carnage behind
What’s wrong with us?
An intrusive thought
Caught early enough
Won’t materialise into a verb
As long as you close,
Your eyes
It’s enough, it’s enough

Ooh

We got along
Never really thought
About the cost of living for nights
Never waking up
It’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough
