Modo de Avión

Anuel AA's song 'Modo de Avión' delves into the themes of escapism and passionate, clandestine love. The title, which translates to 'Airplane Mode,' serves as a metaphor for disconnecting from the outside world to focus entirely on an intimate, albeit secretive, relationship. The lyrics emphasize the urgency and intensity of their connection, with Anuel AA repeatedly mentioning that they are 'against the clock,' suggesting that their time together is precious and fleeting.

The song's chorus, 'Pon el iPhone en modo de avión y siente adentro 'e ti to’ el calentón,' translates to 'Put the iPhone in airplane mode and feel the heat inside you.' This line encapsulates the essence of the song: turning off distractions to fully immerse in the moment. The use of 'calentón' (heat) is a vivid metaphor for the physical and emotional intensity of their encounters. Anuel AA's lyrics are explicit and raw, painting a picture of a relationship that is both physically charged and emotionally detached, as he states, 'No estamos en sentimiento, baby, así es la relación,' meaning 'We are not in feelings, baby, that's how the relationship is.'

Cultural references to luxury brands like Givenchy, Dolce, and Versace, as well as mentions of private jets and expensive watches, highlight a lifestyle of opulence and excess. These elements serve to enhance the fantasy of their secret world, where they can indulge in their desires without the constraints of reality. The song also touches on the moral ambiguity of their relationship, acknowledging the presence of a significant other but dismissing it with the line, 'Yo sé que tú tiene' mari'o, pero el corazón no siente na' si el ojo no ve,' which means 'I know you have a husband, but the heart feels nothing if the eye doesn't see.'

'En modo de avión' is a recurring phrase throughout the song, reinforcing the idea of disconnecting from reality to live in a moment of pure, unadulterated passion. Anuel AA's delivery, combined with the production by Gaby Music and Chris Jeday, creates a hypnotic and immersive experience that draws listeners into this world of forbidden love and escapism.
