The song “Black Box” has meaning and definition. The song brought fame to his name. The starting beats of the piano are very powerful and instantly hook you into the song. The first line “Sending out a mayday, we’re going down” refers to a plane disaster but can also be referred to a relationship breaking up. Everything refers to the mainline “There’s a little black box, yeah”. Stan Walker has been smart with the words he chooses. The song can have two meanings - failed relationship or a plane disaster. Almost every line has something to do with the both of them. An example of this is “It’s a little black box, a record of emotion” this can refer to a disaster as a black box records everything said including you emotion or can be referred to a relationship breakup and all the emotions and great times they had.
