Babylon Bombs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just driving down that road to ruin
Down on my luck, feeling pretty grim
Just finished up a whole bottle of gin
A surprise, I couldn't believe my eyes
I fell down to the ground by the massive sound
Out of the blue came this shining light
When the smoke cleared, what a beautiful sight
Blackout, I'm out of my mind
If I'm awake then I'm flying
No need, no need denying
Lights out I've been starstruck
Feels like I've been hit by a truck
But I love it, love it, yes I do
Space trucking and it feels so right
We disappear into the white light
But I love it, love it, yes I do
I woke up with a headache from hell
Looks like I've slept in a prison cell
Tattered and torn, down and out
I was a god damn mess there's no doubt
Tried to walk but I couldn't even crawl
Got pushed back against the wall
Honey on my tongue, tasted so sweet
Angels touch and the devils beat
Feels like I'm going blind
Blackout, I'm out of my mind
If I'm awake then I'm flying
No need, no need denying
Lights out I've been starstruck
Feels like I've been hit by a truck
But I love it, love it, yes I do
Space trucking and it feels so right
We disappear into the white light
But I love it, love it, yes I do
The lyrics of Babylon Bombs' song Starstruck tell the story of a person who is lost and down on their luck. They are drinking heavily and driving down the road to ruin. Suddenly, something incredible happens. Out of nowhere, a shining light appears, and the person falls to the ground by its massive sound. When the smoke clears, they see something beautiful that overwhelms them. They feel like they are going blind and eventually black out. When they wake up, they have a terrible headache and realize they have slept in a prison cell. They are tattered and torn, feeling like a goddamn mess. They taste honey on their tongue, which is sweet, and they can feel the touch of angels and the beat of the devil's music.
The song's lyrics suggest that the person has been somehow transported to another place or experienced something extraordinary. They feel like they have been hit by a truck, but they love it. The experience feels like space trucking and disappears into the white light. The whole experience has transformed them in some way, and they can't deny it. The lyrics leave a lot to the listener's interpretation, but there is an overarching theme of transformation and new beginnings.
Line by Line Meaning
Some time ago, didn't know what I was doin'
In the past, I was lost and uncertain of my direction
Just driving down that road to ruin
I was blindly making choices that led to my downfall
Down on my luck, feeling pretty grim
I was experiencing a prolonged period of bad fortune and felt hopeless
Just finished up a whole bottle of gin
I had been drinking excessively and may have been intoxicated
A surprise, I couldn't believe my eyes
I was shocked by what I saw
I fell down to the ground by the massive sound
The noise was so great that it caused me to collapse
Out of the blue came this shining light
Suddenly and unexpectedly, a bright light appeared
When the smoke cleared, what a beautiful sight
Once the haze dissipated, I saw something remarkably lovely
Feels like I'm going blind
I'm experiencing a sensation of temporary blindness
Blackout, I'm out of my mind
I have temporarily lost consciousness and am disoriented
If I'm awake then I'm flying
If I am conscious, I feel like I am soaring through the air
No need, no need denying
I have no reason to deny how I feel
Lights out I've been starstruck
I have been dazzled and captivated by an overwhelming experience
Feels like I've been hit by a truck
The intensity of the experience was physically jarring
But I love it, love it, yes I do
Despite the potential negative consequences, I am enamored with the experience
Space trucking and it feels so right
I am embarking on a journey through outer space that feels like the perfect fit for me
We disappear into the white light
As we travel, we become engulfed in a bright white light, disappearing from sight
I woke up with a headache from hell
When I regained consciousness, I had an excruciating headache
Looks like I've slept in a prison cell
My surroundings were reminiscent of a jail cell
Tattered and torn, down and out
I was in a state of disrepair, both physically and emotionally
I was a god damn mess there's no doubt
I was a complete disaster, without a doubt
Tried to walk but I couldn't even crawl
I struggled to even move my body, let alone walk
Got pushed back against the wall
I faced obstacles that prevented me from moving forward
Honey on my tongue, tasted so sweet
I tasted something sweet and pleasant
Angels touch and the devils beat
I experienced both good and bad sensations
