Aviation is the design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft, especially heavier-than-air aircraft. Aviation is derived from avis, the Latin word for bird.
Many cultures have built devices that travel through the air, from the earliest projectiles such as stones and spears, the boomerang in Australia, the hot air Kongming lantern, and kites. There are early legends of human flight such as the story of Icarus, and Jamshid in Persian myth, and later, somewhat more credible claims of short-distance human flights appear, such as the flying automaton of Archytas of Tarentum (428–347 BC), the winged flights of Abbas Ibn Firnas (810–887), Eilmer of Malmesbury (11th century), and the hot-air Passarola of Bartolomeu Lourenço de Gusmão (1685–1724).
The modern age of aviation began with the first untethered human lighter-than-air flight on November 21, 1783, in a hot air balloon designed by the Montgolfier brothers. The practicality of balloons was limited because they could only travel downwind. It was immediately recognized that a steerable, or dirigible, balloon was required. Jean-Pierre Blanchard flew the first human-powered dirigible in 1784 and crossed the English Channel in one in 1785.
He was working for the airline one day
And out on the street the next
The company always came first with him
She came second best
His life was aviation
He was rising fast
They let him go
He became
A victim of the past
She lost her job the same month
At "Fashions For You"
She lost her chance of ever seeing Paris
Lost the baby too
They took all their belongings
And managed to get a loan
And put it all into this broken down building
That called itself a restaurant
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
And now she is just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
Must have lost his touch
Maybe he's out to lunch
His life was aviation
He was rising fast
But who needs expert in fuel conservation
When the planes are out of gas
He still reads "Aviation"
When he has the time
And if he gets to talk to God he's gonna
Give him a piece of his mind, yeah
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
Now she's just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
He must have lost his touch
Maybe he's out for lunch
He waits tables
She does the cooking
He can remember
Seeing her look so beautiful
Now she is just fading away
She waits tables
He does the cooking
They don't owe nobody nothing
If there's a God up there in heaven
Maybe he's not to blame

This goes out to someone that was
Once the most important person in my life
I didn’t realize it at the time
I can’t forgive myself for the way I treated you so
I don’t really expect you to either
It’s just... I don’t even know
Just listen…
You’re the one that I want, the one that I need
The one that I gotta have just to succeed
When I first saw you, I knew it was real
I’m sorry about the pain I made you feel
That wasn’t me; let me show you the way
I looked for the sun, but it’s raining today
I remember when I first looked into your eyes
It was like God was there, heaven in the skies
I wore a disguise 'cause I didn’t want to get hurt
But I didn’t know I made everything worse
You told me we were crazy in love
But you didn’t care when push came to shove
If you loved me as much as you said you did
Then you wouldn’t have hurt me like I ain’t shit
Now you pushed me away like you never even knew me
I loved you with my heart, really and truly
I guess you forgot about the times that we shared
When I would run my fingers through your hair
Late nights, just holding you in my arms
I don’t know how I could do you so wrong
I really wanna show you I really need to hold you
I really wanna know you like no one else could know you
You’re number one, always in my heart
And now I can’t believe that our love is torn apart
[Chorus:]
I need you and
I miss you and
I want you and
I love you ‘cause
I wanna hold you,
I wanna kiss you
You were my everything
And I really miss you [2x]
I knew you gonna sit and play this with your new man
And then sit and laugh as you’re holding his hand
The thought of that just shatters my heart
It breaks in my soul and it tears me apart
At times we was off I was scared to show you
Now I wanna hold you until I can’t hold you
Without you, everything seems strange
Your name is forever planted in my brain
Damn it, I’m insane,
Take away the pain
Take away the hurt
Baby, we can make it work
What about when you
Looked into my eyes
Told me you loved me
As you would hugged me
I guess everything you said was a lie
I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes
Now I’m not even a thought in your mind
I can see clearly, my love is not blind
[Chorus:]
I need you and
I miss you and
I want you and
I love you ‘cause
I wanna hold you,
I wanna kiss you
You were my everything
And I really miss you [2x]
[Talking:]
I just wish everything could have turned out differently
I had a special feeling about you
I thought maybe you did too
You would understand, but…
No matter what, you’ll always be in my heart
You’ll always be my baby
Our first day, it seemed so magical
I remember all the time that I had with you
Remember when you first came to my house?
You looked like an angel wearing that blouse
We hit it off, I knew it was real
But now I can’t take all the pain that I feel
Reach in your heart, I know I’m still there
I don’t wanna hear that you no longer care
Remember the times? Remember when we kissed?
I didn’t think you would ever do me like this
I didn’t think you’d wanna see me depressed
I thought you’d be there for me, this I confess
You said you were my best friend, was that a lie?
Now I’m nothing to you, you’re with another guy
I tried, I tried, I tried, and I’m trying
Now on the inside it feels like I’m dying
[Chorus:]
I need you and
I miss you and
I want you and
I love you ‘cause
I wanna hold you,
I wanna kiss you
You were my everything
And I really miss you [2x]
[Talking:]
And I do miss you
I just thought we were meant to be
I guess now, we’ll never know
The only thing I want is for you to be happy
Whether it be with me, or without me
chorus
You know I love you girl
And you know I always will.
I want to be with you forever 'til the day that I get killed.
I remember the days girl, just me and you
But now that your gone whatchu want me to do?
You're so special.
So baby just let me bless you.
It'll be different this time I will caress you.
But I guess you don't believe I can change.
Life without you is like weaving through lanes.
I just want to see you, touch you, even breathe you.
Just for a minute I wish the pain you would see through,
I need you and this is right from my heart.
And I'm really, really sorry about the fights after dark.
You're a goddess, a princess, an angel from heaven
And I've been lookin' for you darlin' since the age of eleven.
You can't be gone, this pain can't be real
But I know it is girl 'cause its all I feel.
I use to think one day, walking the aisle,
Standin' there as you walk struttin' up with a smile.
Please listen, I need you to go on.
You stole a piece of me and my heart is long gone.
I'm sorry, I realize I was the problem.
I guess thats what I get 'cause now I'm sittin' and I'm sobbin'.
chorus
And I know you remember our time in oc
All you did was hold me, there to console me.
We had so much fun, we dipped in spots,
Walks along the beach, eaten dip-in-dots.
We went to the store, and shopped like a couple,
I apolgize for the times I said fuck you.
If I could, I would try to give you the world.
I will try my best, please give it a whirl.
You got to be my girl. we could never end.
You're my number one baby, you my best friend.
Our connection was special, our love is real.
Thats why I can't give up its all the love I feel.
Your everything to me.
You help me deal with my life
But now my heart is lost and it feels like a knife.
Please take it out, remove this dagger from chest.
If anyone hurts you, I'll beat that faggot to death.
Listen to what I say, it comes from the soul
But still in my soul which feels like a hole.
Your my other half, we were meant to be.
I'm sorry if I put stress on you mentally.
I sit and I shake. girl, I've learned my mistakes.
Now please, I need you to take away the ache, to take away the pain and to take away the strife.

Come with me i'll show you things
You won;t believe you won;t believe
Here I stand in the devil's eyes
He's taken me i'm crucified
Freedom Freedom thats what I need
Freedom Freedom come and set me free
Come with me you won't believe
The agony and the irony
Here I stand as the world turns
My spirits still my body burns
Wings are now a part of me
(I'm) disappearing straight
Into the night alone I'll make my journey.
In this life an endless solo flight
Bow thy head and close thy peasant mind.
Now comes the deafening roar
Followed by an eternal calm
Silence! silence, the sound of emptiness
The absence of your moaning virgin whore.
Sky falls down like a fountain
Washing over me with calming void
If this peace is called loneliness
We were truly meant to stand alone
Meant to stand alone.
Blue overhead, since the dawn of man
Heavens follow, wherever we roam
Blue turns black, heavens retreat
Losing a faith in between.
What is set in stone, when stone no longer paves your road
When paths are no longer guided by earthly tomes
do you think i'm crazy
for considering aviation
i'm the fan of flying
wanna do it for the nation
cause i have nothing else to do
it's summer but committed to you
have a big degree in philosophy
but i don't know what i wanna be
[chorus]
so i'm going into aviation, yeah mom
i'm going into aviation, yeah dad
going into aviation,
i'm going into aviation
do you think i'm crazy, cause i'm up and living baby
well i ain't got nobody and i ain't got no money baby
i feel high as i might tonight
so lean back and enjoy the flight
and the weather is clear yeah, nobody's near
the future is here
[chorus]
so i'm going into aviation, yeah mom
i'm going into aviation, yeah dad
going into aviation,

cause i'm going to pensacola
where nobody knows me
where someone could just start over, mhm

cause it's warm there in the winter too

but it's time to be on my way
[chorus]
so i'm going into aviation, yeah mom
