Quoted from another site; "the lead singer is afraid of flying. To calm him down one night the band got him wasted on the flight. He started dancing around and taking off his clothes acting like an idiot. One of the band members started taking pictures so he would remember what he'd done in the morning. The part where he says "hey dad, what d'ya think about your son now" refers to the fact that the band mailed the nude photos to the lead singers parents as a joke. The song was just a tribute to a fun spirited memory. (found this out at a Filter concert)"

Whatever you're on, I don't want it as it plainly causes paranoia. The lyrics are below (minus chorus to save space), and I'm fecked if I can see any "promotion of censorship", let alone "in the worst way":

Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
My skin is bare
My skin is theirs I feel like newborn
And I feel like a newborn
Awake on my airplane
Awake on my airplane
I feel so real

I don't believe in
I don't believe in your sanctity your prophecy
I don't believe in
I don't believe in sanctity or hypocrisy
Can everyone agree that no one should be left alone
Can everyone agree that they should not be left alone
And I feel like a newborn
And I feel like a newborn (kicking and screaming)

Hey dad what do you think about your son now?

I was a sophomore in high school when this song came out.

Love the gentle lyrics and the easy rhythm of the guitar during the verse.

Indeed.

Definitely more tolerable than much of the crappy, 'popier' stuff out there.  The epitome of "meh"?

I just love this song. I have it on a CD in my Sidekick, and whenever it plays, I have to listen to it over and over. I never seem to get bored with it. Maybe I'm simple. Maybe I'm lame. But I know what I love, and I love this song.
