Olympic Airways 
Intro – 00:00 – 00.36 
Sun up we wait 00:36 – 00:38 
All day 00:38 – 00:39 
Sun up we wait 00:43 – 00:45 
All day all day 00:46 - 00:47 
(The fact that they are referring to having to wait all day could be 
implying the fact that they enjoy the night and partying. This could also 
show their displeasure that it is currently day time and could also 
symbolise they are waking up from the night before and have a 
hangover. However it could also mean that they are having to wait all 
day for something, that has not been mentioned at this point.) 
The hell outside kept away 00:47 – 00:50 
If only we could move away 00:50 – 00:53 
From here 00:54 – 00:55 
(This shows they’re currently unhappy with where they are situated and 
they want to escape to another place, something which is referred to 
again and again throughout the song) 
This is how 00:56 – 00:58 
We build a place 00:58 – 01:00 
An aviary for today, An aviary for today 01:00 - 01:07 
(The band are explaining they are trying to escape and even go as far as 
showing people how they would build an ideal world. An aviary is defined 
as somewhere to confine birds and this could also be a representation for 
how we as people are usually confined to where we live and most people 
do not change this) 
Let's disappear till tomorrow, Let's disappear till tomorrow 01:12 – 01:17 
Dis-a-ppe-ar , dis-a-ppe-ar 01:17 – 01:24 
dis-a-ppe-ar ar ar ar 01:24 – 01:31 
(They want to disappear until tomorrow. Linked with the earlier 
statement of waiting for something to happen, it seems as though the 
band are waiting for something to happen, maybe some good news, and 
when they do not find what they are looking for they want to forget it 
and look forward to the next day where they hold they will find what 
they are looking for.) 
Blow up these play parades, Let's go 01:31 – 01:34 
To an aviary far from home, To an aviary far from home 01:35 – 01:41 
(Blow up these play parades could indicate how they want people to stop 
pretending that everything is okay and want people to see the real 
picture. They want everybody to go to another place that is far from 
home where they think that what they are looking for is located) 
A one hand clap is me and you and you and you and you 01:45 – 01:51 
While the hell outside kept away, If only we moved away 01:53 – 01:59 
(The one handclap could indicate that something is missing as a clap 
usually requires two hands. The fact that it is only a one hand clap could 
symbolise how they feel that something is missing from life and this 
could be what they are looking for)
Dis-a-ppe-ar, Dis-a-ppe-ar, Dis-a-ppe-ar ar ar ar 01:59 – 02:11 
(Again, the band are indicating that they want to move away, something 
that has become a repeating theme throughout the song) 
Last vacation was the same, We got moved away 02:27 – 02:37 
Last vacation was the same, We got moved away 02:40 – 02:52 
Last vacation was the same, We got moved away 02:54 – 03:06 
(This is directly referring to a previous event that is the same as what 
the band is already struggling through. The fact that they repeat this line 
2 times indicates that they are very tired of having to do the same thing 
over and over again) 
Sun down now we have built , Our place, An aviary forever 03:28 – 03:35 
An aviary forever, Forever forever 03:37 – 03:43 
(This changes the song and almost acts like the new equilibrium of the 
song. It seems like everything is okay now and it is almost like the 
problems of the past have been forgotten about) 
Re-a-ppe-ar, Re-a-ppe-ar 03:49 – 03:56 
Re-a-ppe-ar, Re-a-ppe-ar 03:56 – 04:03 
(The final words reference to the words that where constantly sung 
earlier however now that the problems have been solved, it seems like 
the band are telling the people who they previously told to run away, 
that everything is now back to normal and everything is now okay)

  • 1.
