Lorn Lyrics

Daylight
And bad dreams
In a cool world
Full of cruel things
Hang tight
All you
Nothing like a big bad bridge
To go burning through

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lorn's song "ACID RAIN" are cryptic and open to interpretation. The singer appears to be talking about a world that is full of difficulties and challenges, all of which seem to conspire to create a dark and difficult reality. The opening line of the song, "Daylight and bad dreams," suggests a contrast between the light of day and the terrors of the night. The cool world that the singer describes is one that is full of cruel things, suggesting a place that is inhospitable and hostile to human life.


The final line of each verse, "Nothing like a big bad bridge to go burning through," suggests that there is a way to cross over to the other side, but it requires a great deal of courage and a willingness to take risks. The image of the burning bridge is a powerful one, suggesting that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything to reach their goal. Overall, the lyrics of "ACID RAIN" are dark and brooding, reflecting a world that is full of uncertainty and danger.

Høuston? More Like SPØØPston.
As you seem well informed, I'd like to ask :
-Is that your own interpretation of what you hear or have you read it somewhere ?
-Do we know who is the voice ?
-Is she the same voice as on the "Soft Room" track ?
-Are these the same effects on her voice ?
-The lyrics seem to have been written by the same person too, did Lorn write them or the mysterious voice lady ?

I just love the mood in those two tracks.

Ibogaine rewires the brain.
Alters receptor sites.
Within 48 hours the pain and misery is no longer a feature of opiate withdrawal.
People can quit dignity and quality of life.
Since the brain doesn't get signals for weeks that the only way to make misery end is to relapse, recidivism rate plummets dramatically.

Ibogaine is the way forward out of this opioid epidemic.
Opiate use is the #1 factor that adversely affects our political structure, our GDP, our national security.
Henry Kissinger and George Soros are at the head of this.
I caught both of them last year.
Less than a month after going public with catching Henry Kissinger, he declared himself dead via his consulting firm.
He pinged hard today.
Vatican City.
With clarity.
He's apparently quite the high-value target, then.
I'm typically the highest value target in this country for a minute now.

@@user-zv3iy4zo4p ibogaine, kids.
Ibogaine.
Look it up.
Changes the receptor sites for opiates within 48 hours, I understand.
Alters withdrawal symptoms to make it more like kicking caffeine.
It is the way forward for addressing the opioid epidemic.
And the opioid epidemic is the biggest factor by far that adversely affects our intelligence community, our political structure and national security.

F-ck opiates and f-ck opiate traffickers.
Ibogaine will reduce their market share considerably.
It's the way forward.

this disorganized dog-and-pony show is retarded.
get your sh-t together, collectively, those who are responsible for my funding coming through.
I don't give a f-ck about your stupid operational discretion protocol.
you guys have f-cked this thing up for five years now.
make my funding happen.
it has been available for five f-cking years now while you guys work on having the meanest patty-cake game in town or whatever the f-ck you pussies do.

Figure it the f-ck out.
Your games are stupid.
Mine are effective.

How Lorn made a sound from the deep dark depths of the abyss is amazing.

Edit: I made this comment specifically about Lorns deep, moody artistic style which can be found in all his productions. From this song, to 'Anvil,' to 'Timesink,' to 'Sega Sunset.'

Where he pulls from a depth of emotion that is visceral and moving.

I wasn't mentioning anything religious or kabbalistic, no. Nothing strange... no nonsense. Innocent comment.

This art is just real, raw emotion that we universally experience. Speaking to the ineffable transience of life, and the courageous acceptance of it.

Some Native American traditions believe that when Death comes you have the chance to dance your last dance and Death has no choice but to watch. The wooden Native American looking into the distance is a tell tale sign of this artistic vision.

@dilligaf1009

plus, we are watching the last dance, which makes us death. mind slightly blown.

@WavveBoi

Superweinerschnitzel oh holy shit.

@hillaryclinton823

I was just pondering of the significance of this dance. Thanks, people.

@dimitrilagos6176

I'm completely blown away. Like so when the two girls leave through the kitchen, Death is like "alright cool let's go" and then the kitchen ghost girl is like "nah dude we still have more to show you." This gives me the chills.

@zzz6758

I love how as the song progresses, the main cheerleader slowly gets more and more "dead" looking. The first half, she only has a few bruises, scuffs and cuts. Once she rejoins her team, she's as dead as the rest of them. It's so bittersweet from her realization that she too has died in the crash. So bittersweet that it literally makes me choke up and want to cry for them.

@BYToady

Feels like the beat is her heart slowing down as she dies.
