Lightning
B.I.O.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd rather go there then go straight to hell
And hell when I'm headed
With the gun full of lead
A Cadillac bed and a pocket full of dip
All my 12 friends came to party
They can't help it, they ain't hungry
I got something, they ain't like me
Rain, rain, go away
Please don't bring me down today
Sometimes all there is to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
These motherfuckers don't have no class
Done everything but drunk them off and wipe their ass
Living in a town full of smoke and mirrors
We real ass hoes and fake superheroes
We get up from way down under
All this talk just makes me wonder
They just always sound like thunder
But here comes the lightning
Rain, rain, go away
Please don't bring me down today
Sometimes all there is to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (But here comes the lightning)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
So when the waters calm and the sun comes out
Doesn't it seem like they're always around?
Watch 'em all scurry as they run for cover
We used to stick together and look out for one another
(Hey hey) We gotta try to live every day (day)
And nothing is common so see ya, see ya, see ya
So here comes the lightning
Rain, rain, go away
Please don't bring me down today
Sometimes all there is to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Rain, rain, go away
Please don't bring me down today
Sometimes all there is to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way
Here comes the lightning, here comes the lightning
The lyrics to B.I.O.S.'s song "Lightning" convey a sense of rebellion and defiance against societal norms and expectations. The opening lines, "A 9 to 5 ain't ringing my bell, I'd rather go there then go straight to hell," express a dissatisfaction with the conventional idea of working a traditional job and conforming to societal expectations. The singer expresses a desire for a more exciting and unconventional lifestyle, symbolized by phrases like "a Cadillac bed and a pocket full of dip." The mention of "12 friends" coming to party suggests a close-knit group of like-minded individuals who share this rebellious spirit.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Rain, rain, go away, please don't bring me down today," speaks to the desire to defy any obstacles or challenges that life may bring. The singer refuses to let anything dampen their spirits or hinder their pursuit of a more fulfilling life. The line, "Fuck it, bring that storm my way," further emphasizes their determination to embrace challenges and obstacles with an unyielding attitude.
The second verse criticizes those who lack authenticity and class, referring to them as "fake superheroes" living in a town full of illusion and deception. The singer contrasts themselves as "real ass hoes" who are honest and genuine. The mention of "way down under" implies that they have overcome struggles and adversity, adding to their authenticity. The phrase "they just always sound like thunder, but here comes the lightning" suggests that while others may talk boldly and make noise, the singer is the one who takes real action and makes an impact.
The bridge reflects on the fleeting nature of relationships and how people tend to show up and support each other only in times of need. The line "we used to stick together and look out for one another" highlights the singer's nostalgia for a time when unity and support were more prevalent. However, they also acknowledge the need to live each day to the fullest, suggesting a determination to make the most out of life regardless of the lack of communal support.
Overall, "Lightning" is a song that celebrates individuality, defying societal expectations, and embracing challenges with resilience and determination.
Line by Line Meaning
A 9 to 5 ain't ringing my bell
Working a regular job doesn't excite me
I'd rather go there then go straight to hell
I'd prefer going there (to work) rather than experiencing hell
And hell when I'm headed
And when I'm headed towards hell
With the gun full of lead
Carrying a gun loaded with bullets
A Cadillac bed and a pocket full of dip
Having luxury and indulgence
All my 12 friends came to party
All my twelve friends came to join the celebration
They can't help it, they ain't hungry
They can't resist it, they aren't craving anything
I got something, they ain't like me
I possess something that they don't have, they aren't like me
So here comes the lightning
So now comes the sudden and powerful force (transformation)
Rain, rain, go away
I wish for the rain to go away
Please don't bring me down today
Please don't bring me sadness or negativity today
Sometimes all there is to say
Sometimes there is nothing else to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way
Disregard it, bring that challenge or difficulty my way
These motherfuckers don't have no class
These individuals lack proper manners or sophistication
Done everything but drunk them off and wipe their ass
I have done everything for them except taking care of their basic needs
Living in a town full of smoke and mirrors
Living in a place full of illusion and deception
We real ass hoes and fake superheroes
We are genuine and authentic individuals, not pretentious superheroes
We get up from way down under
We rise up from difficult circumstances
All this talk just makes me wonder
All this conversation just makes me curious or skeptical
They just always sound like thunder
They always sound powerful or intimidating
But here comes the lightning
But now comes the sudden and transformative force
So when the waters calm and the sun comes out
So when things settle down and positivity returns
Doesn't it seem like they're always around?
Doesn't it appear that they are always present?
Watch 'em all scurry as they run for cover
Observe as they hastily seek shelter or protection
We used to stick together and look out for one another
We used to support each other and watch each other's backs
(Hey hey) We gotta try to live every day (day)
(Hey hey) We must make an effort to live each day fully
And nothing is common so see ya, see ya, see ya
And nothing is ordinary, so goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So here comes the lightning
So now comes the sudden and powerful force (transformation)
Rain, rain, go away
I wish for the rain to go away
Please don't bring me down today
Please don't bring me sadness or negativity today
Sometimes all there is to say
Sometimes there is nothing else to say
Fuck it, bring that storm my way
Disregard it, bring that challenge or difficulty my way
Here comes the lightning, here comes the lightning
Now comes the sudden and transformative force, now comes the sudden and transformative force
