Dancing to "Airplane Mode" by Fireboy in a Music Video || A Song Dedicated to all Men

Yeah yeah ou
So many things wey dey bother man stress from friends and family and brotherman.

As a single man that's no longer under the roof of your family. You're the one providing for your family now and yourself. A lot of things would definitely bother you, especially if you're one that's not financially buoyant. Just imagine you have a relative in an emergency situation or in the hospital; that emergency is also your emergency unexpectedly. There are many things that bother men, most of which are pressure from family and friends in terms of finances and otherwise.

Man living like an animal
When a problem goes
Life comes with another one.

They live like an animal trying to shoulder responsibilities. You can barely have time for yourself, your health, or your looks because you're working hard to bring food to the table and also get less stress from whatever ends there may be. You're pressured to marry, to make money and to help out with expenses, etc.....

This is the reason why he said man lives like an animal, especially the ones struggling financially to fulfil their roles in the family. Life is no respecter of problems. It brings uncertainties that would likely make you run mad. When you feel you've solved your major problems, life brings in a test of faith.

But I'm a god, I'm a stronger man
I be different breed, my kind no be normal one. I'm not trynna be the number one
So many legends dey
I'm just trynna be another one

He then explains that he's a stronger man even with those pressures and stresses. He feels he can overcome every circumstance on his own, as he's not trying to be like anyone but tries to be the best of himself when it comes to matters like this.

But sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala
E dey be like say I don tire
Sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala

He then adds that sometimes he feels he should just run mad because of the pressure and problems faced as a young man. Have you actually felt that way, that you're loosening the knots in your head?

I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me you should know
I just feel like I should do this on my own
I just wanna be alone

He wants to be all alone, just by himself. It's not as if he's being depressed, but he finds joy and peace of mind without those stress, pressure and disturbances. He just wants to be alone without problems, without calls, a free man with not much responsibility to shoulder, and no family to take care of. He sometimes wishes this happens.

If no be love, na money palava
If no be stress, na woman and drama
Competition people dey para
Too much beef when I no be mallam

If it's not financial problems, it's love , marriage and the like. If it's not stress, problems and the like, it's women and their problems. Some women demand a lot, especially in a relationship. Most women make their men feel they should just run mental because of excessive bills and the likes. Most women love to be maintained, and you know what it means. People compete, trying to be the best, and sometimes have a grudge against him. These aren't his problems because what he's thinking is far beyond these.

Na God dey do am, no be my power
Grace na koko, the talent na jara
So I lock myself inside my yara go down on my knees, and I call on baba

He also states that it's God that's giving him the strength to cope and endure his trials and face his responsibilities squarely. He does reach out to God in prayer and finds it graceful when he pours out his feelings.

_This is the chorus which I explained earlier.

But sometimes
E dey be like say I wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala
E dey be like say I don tire
Sometimes
E dey be like say wan manya
All the pressure and the wahala
I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me, you should know
I just feel like I should do this on my own
I just wanna be alone
I don't wanna see no message on my phone
Nothing dey do me, you should know
I just feel like I should do this on my own, I just wanna be alone
(Sometimes uh yeah yeah)

I just want to be alone , he concluded. That's when airplane mode comes in. If someone is in airplane mode, it definitely means he's in a state of no disturbance, no calls, no pressure, etc. I've been in these shoes before.

Sometimes I feel I should just be alone, lock myself in and dwell on my problems instead of adding problems to problems. On a daily basis, I receive calls from friends begging that their lives are at stake and they need my help. Family is here, school is here, and debts too. Sometimes I just feel all these problems can just go let me be on my own and face my problems squarely.

I didn't sing this song; I only danced to the song. In my music video, I expressed the exact emotions the song is trying to express in my moves and facial expressions. The signal of being alone reflects back to when I'm all by myself trying to look at a beautiful picture. I made these videos in clips so I can combine them together and then make something memorable.

The videographer tried a lot for me even with all the suspense and waste of time. I used my vintage sneakers to dance to this song. What do you say about the song? Have you ever felt that urge to be alone, put your phone on airplane mode to divert calls and take yourself offline from WhatsApp messages just to clear your head?

I've felt the same way too; that's why this song serves as a backup to all men – that even wealthy people have problems and face pressures. Everything would be definitely okay. A time would come when you'll just be smiling; you'll not have to think of your trying to fulfil a particular responsibility when you can't even fulfil yours.

Can you rate me?
