Propane Nightmares
Pendulum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something's tearing me down and down
And I can't help but feel it's coming from you
She's a gunshot bride as the trigger cries
I just wonder what we've gotten ourselves into

In a trail of fire I know we will be free again
In the end we will be one
In a trail of fire I'll burn before you bury me
Set your sights for the sun

Mind is willing, soul remains
This woman cannot be saved
From the draw into the fire

Mind is willing, soul remains
This woman cannot be saved
From the draw into the fire

Anything to bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home

Much to weak to jump yourself
Heal the wounds or crack the shell
Lift yourself from once below

Much to weak to jump yourself
Heal the wounds or crack the shell
Lift yourself from once below

Praise the anger bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Bring it on home

In a trail of fire I know we will be free again
In the end we will be one
In a trail of fire I'll burn before you bury me
Set your sights for the sun

Bring it on home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pendulum's song "Propane Nightmares" convey a sense of desperation and uncertainty, with the singer feeling torn down and unable to escape the situation they find themselves in. The opening lines suggest that the source of their troubles might be someone close to them, with the singer feeling as though this person is somehow responsible for their current state of distress. The imagery of a "gunshot bride" adds to the feeling of danger and volatility, and the repeated refrain of "bring it on home" suggests that the singer is seeking some sort of resolution or closure to this chaotic situation.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract and metaphorical, with the singer expressing a desire to be free and whole again, and to find a way to lift themselves up out of their current state. The repeated refrain of "mind is willing, soul remains, this woman cannot be saved, from the draw into the fire" suggests that the singer is struggling with some sort of inner conflict or turmoil that they feel unable to escape from. However, they remain determined to keep pushing forward and to set their sights on the sun, even if it means burning up in the process.


Overall, "Propane Nightmares" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the universal human experience of facing challenges and struggles, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. The lyrics suggest that in moments of darkness, we must look within ourselves and find the strength to keep moving forward, even when it feels impossible.
