Paper planes

Flashy success or wealth that seems unattainable. Paper as in money that everyone see’s passing by, out of reach.

I’ll keep investing in this, but it’s like chasing paper planes.

In hip-hop terms, a paper plane is a demand for civil liberties and rights. In particular, rights for black people and gay people. M.I.A. refers to paper planes in the song "Paper Planes."

We're sending a paper plane to Washington to make sure our government knows that we demand rights for blacks and gays.

Paper Planes

The most ANNOYING and OVERPLAYED song I have heard since I was a youngin.

Please, stop playing it and humming along.

And if you know the words, sick, but please. PLEASE keep it to yourself T_T

"I fly like paper, get high like pl--*punched in face*"
That's what happens if you start singing Paper Planes

paper planes

Paper planes is a state of being. In reference to the MIA song it is the state of being missing in action, or leaving a place. It can be used both as an action verb and an adjective.
