Bombs Away
Amarionette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I started giving up before I felt your touch
Ironically I don't feel a thing (you don't feel a thing at all)
Ignoring warning signs can be so dangerous
Oblivious movement through life had me hypnotized
Had me hypnotized

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
Loving me
In my faith and decay
You only took one moment

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
My mistakes
Take me handle without
But you got me round with your heart

I had my cake and tried to eat it too
(It's the only way you know how I do)
Yet blurring lines will that be fine?
Will that be fine?

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
Loving me
In my faith and decay
You only took one moment

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
My mistakes
Take me handle without
But you got me round with your

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
Loving me
In my faith and decay
You only took one moment

Bombs away
I never saw you coming
You hit me right when I need it
My mistakes




Take me handle without
But you got me right with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amarionette's “Bombs Away” invite the listener to reflect on how love can change everything in an instant. The verse begins with a sense of resignation and detachment, with the singer stating that they had given up before the person they love even arrived. Despite this, the singer admits that they didn't feel anything at all, ironically. The following line suggests that ignoring warning signs can be dangerous, but the singer was oblivious and hypnotized by their mundane life. Suddenly, like a bomb, the loved one arrives unexpectedly, and their presence is so significant that they hit the singer right when they need it. The chorus repeats the phrase “bombs away” as a metaphor for how the person's entrance into the singer's life was explosive, and they never saw it coming. One moment was enough to change the singer's perspective on life, to make them feel loved and seen.


The second verse portrays a narrator who was trying to have it all, who wanted to have their cake and eat it too, and who was asking themselves if blurring the lines between what is right and wrong is acceptable. However, the chorus comes back to state that when the person arrived, their mistakes became insignificant, and they took control of the situation; they had the singer under their spell with their heart. The lyrics of “Bombs Away” are simple, but the emotion is palpable. The song speaks about how love can come into our lives at any moment, transforming everything and offering us new perspectives. One moment can make a world of difference.

on Chloroform Rags Work On Everybody

They're running scared,
with their tails between their legs
Pride will kill the rest of them
How we got this far
will be mystery
We've cut short
on every turn...

Please think twice,
They'll be watching us!
Glittering gold to pull you...

To pull you in-
Into another lying promise you can't resist
Fooled you once wont happen again
Don't let men pull your dreams down
Block you out of destiny

Please think twice,
They'll be watching us!
Glittering gold to pull you...
Into a place where you're cornerd
Starting from inside [?]
Cut these wires
Step outside
These
lines

Ooo~
Step outside these,
Step outside these
Step outside these LINES!
They're not gonna take!
They're not gonna take me! (OH!)
They're not gonna take,
they will not take me alive!

Please think twice they'll be
watching us~!
Glittering gold to pull you~
Into a place where you're cornered
Starting from inside [?]

Cut these wires, step outside these lines

Cut these wires, step outside
these
Lines!
