Flags On Fire
B.O.L.T. Warhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're better dead than off to serve their fucking cause
Allegiance baptism, how they molest the young
Never will you be free to live until you learn to
Set fire to your flag
Set fire to your flag
Set fire to your flag
Set fire
Injustice, enslavement
The masters of society
Corrosion, oblivion
Fuck you and your reality
Religious decisions destroy the lack of liberty
Conforming corrosion, they're killing victory
Set fire to your flag
Set fire to your flag
Set fire to your flag
Set fire
Set fire
With an eye on the floor
Spin around 'til you're inside out of you
...And you're still looking for more
No way to stop the bleeding from your wound
The bleeding from your wound
You can never ever stop bleeding from your wound
You can never stop bleeding from your wound
You can never ever stop bleeding from your wound
You can never stop bleeding from your wound
Wound
The song "Flags On Fire" by B.O.L.T. Warhead is a scathing commentary on society's blind devotion to nationalistic symbols and the atrocities that often accompany them. The lyrics urge the listener to set fire to their flag - a powerful metaphor for rejecting blind allegiance to a system that perpetuates injustice and enslavement. The chorus reinforces this idea, repeating the command to "set fire to your flag" over and over again.
The second verse takes aim at religious institutions, which are often complicit in the corrosion of individual liberty. The use of the word "conforming" suggests that those who blindly follow religious doctrine are sacrificing their own ability to think critically and make their own decisions. The final lines of the song, "With an eye on the floor/Spin around 'til you're inside out of you/...And you're still looking for more/No way to stop the bleeding from your wound," suggest that even when we reject blind allegiance to a cause, the damage it has done to us personally may be irreversible.
Overall, "Flags On Fire" is a powerful song that challenges the listener to think critically about the symbols and systems that permeate our society.
