So, I am pretty airophobic and I live on an Island. Neither of these were my idea, but here we are. I hate going in planes, I cannot get relax in them, just the lack of control is too paralyzing to me and I don't... just.... no. I will give an extra thousand dollars and 11 hours to take a boat, thankyou.
But, last year I had to take 8 planes last year.
First was off the island, and then the next to Seattle, and then to Chicago. The next three were the inverse for the ride home, and then the last two were to just off the island and back. But on the second one, to Seattle, I remembered one of the first episodes of Supernatural. The plane one with the demon where we find out Dean is afraid of planes.
He used Metallica to keep himself calm. Well, my brain was at a blank for Metallica songs, and I didn't have any on my phone, but I did have earbuds and Twenty One Pilots' first album, which I often turn to in times of crisis. I listened. To the album and by the time Isle of Flightless Birds comes round, we're landing and it didn't really work. So the next flight, a five hour one I think it was, I just press shuffle and just try to relax. It doesn't work. And then The End by MCR comes on. The Black Parade album has always been a fun album for me because there are so many ways to interpret the story. Did he die in the beginning or did he just wake up from the surgery his doctor is talking about in Dead? Whose funeral is Welcome to the Black Parade talking about? His dad's, his mom's, brother's, his own? Or is it just about the fact that the patient will have a funeral soon running theough his head as he realizes he won't be remembered?
So I play the album. I remember getting to the Sharpest Lives, and then I wake up in Chicago. The playlist had gone through Danger Days,(yes, I have danger days on my phone and enjoy it, bite me it's underrated( and back to Bullets. Oddly enough, it wasn't the reason I woke up.
That! Walk I wanted to say. Night.
