Bombs Away
Age of Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spun out of control
And Ive got the scars to prove it
Your name is tattooed on my brain
Theres no one else to blame
And now Im about to lose it all
Youre a one man wrecking ball
Youre a big screen drama queen
Wind her up and watch her scream
So cold but so hot
Youre no class white trash
Royal pain right in the ass
But Im here to stay
So bombs away
Make the pleasure worth the pain
Ive figured out your game
And Im addicted to it
So raw a rebel with a cause
Youre breaking every law
But I can see right through it all
Youre a one man wrecking ball
Bombs away
Youre a big screen drama queen
Wind her up and watch her scream
So cold but so hot
Youre no class white trash
Royal pain right in the ass
But Im here to stay
So bombs away
Bombs away
I dont really understand it
Youre a habit thats hard to break
All I know is that I have to have it
Pleasure worth the pain
So this is how you roll
Spun out of control
And Ive got the scars to prove it
Youre a one man wrecking ball
Bombs away
Youre a big screen drama queen
Wind her up and watch her scream
So cold but so hot
Youre no class white trash
Royal pain right in the ass
But Im here to stay
So bombs away
Bombs away (repeat)
The lyrics of "Bombs Away" by Age of Days talk about a dysfunctional relationship between two people, where one of them is a wrecking ball causing chaos, but the other person is addicted to the thrill of the drama. The verses describe the pain caused by this person, with the singer having scars to prove it, and the addiction to the chaos. The chorus paints an image of this person being a big screen drama queen, no class white trash, and a royal pain in the ass, but the singer is here to stay, hence "bombs away." The bridge states the difficulty in understanding the attraction to this person, but that the pleasure is worth the pain.
The song has a very upbeat and catchy melody, which contrasts with the theme of the lyrics. It speaks to the idea of being addicted to chaos and drama, even when you know it's not good for you. The chorus is particularly memorable and makes you want to sing along. The imagery of a "big screen drama queen" and a "one-man wrecking ball" is vivid and creates a clear picture in the listener's mind.
