Bomb
8otto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ありのままに神にこの身を委ね言う
君のプライド焼けるくらいどう?
We got a Bomb.
愛のままに音にこの身を委ね言う
ありのままに俺にこの身を委ね言う
君のそのプライド焼けるくらいどう?
You Got A Bomb.
I got to feel.
それを
身を賄したプライド
理を蹴ったVibe.
歪んだモノ、金、つらい?
愛のままに音にこの身を委ね言う
ありのままに神にこの身を委ね言う
君のプライド焼けるくらいどう?
We got a Bomb.
"I wanna be their slave."
"I wanna be their slave."
They are on the water slide.
Stay.
Grab your fear.
Don't know how.
We all cross the line.
We all crush the line.
They do. Don't know lots of Bomb!
The lyrics to 8otto's song Bomb are quite elusive and open-ended. The opening lines, "愛のままに音にこの身を委ね言う ありのままに神にこの身を委ね言う" seem to be a surrendering of the self to the power of love or a higher power. The repetition of "身を委ね言う" emphasizes the idea of letting go and trusting in something beyond oneself. This is followed by the lines, "君のプライド焼けるくらいどう? We got a Bomb." Here, the lyrics take an unexpected turn. The singer asks the listener if they are willing to let their pride burn, followed by the phrase "We got a Bomb." This could be interpreted in a myriad of ways - perhaps the singer is suggesting that by shedding one's ego, they are able to unlock a powerful force or revelation.
The second verse has conflicting messages. On one hand, the lyrics describe a sense of pride that, "身を賄した" - or "pays for their being" - and a "理を蹴ったVibe" - or a vibe that rejects logic. However, the lines "歪んだモノ、金、つらい?" suggest that this pride and vibe have led to a distorted perception of reality. The repeated line "You Got A Bomb" is also intriguing, as it is not entirely clear what the bomb refers to. It could be a metaphor for a suppressed emotion or the unleashing of an explosive force.
Overall, the lyrics of Bomb invoke a sense of surrendering to the unknown, shedding one's ego, and embracing the power of vulnerability. The use of the bomb metaphor lends an air of danger or destruction to the song, but it is ultimately up to the listener to interpret what that bomb represents.
