With 7 albums, 1 EP and 2 live DVDs under the belt, the band built an expanding carreer around their timeless style. The receipe is easy as ABC : a powerful and groovy rhythm section, groundshaking riffs, backed by two amazing vocalists : one digging deep into the abyss while the other one is flirting with hysteria.
Black Bomb A played more than 1000 gigs (among which 2 Hellfest shows in 2012 and 2018) which left hordes of fans drained of their blood, and totally devoted to the band. The interchange of energy between BBA and its audience is one hell of an amazingly contagious live experiment,
The band will be back on October 12, 2018 with a new album produced by Francis Caste, simply titled « Black Bomb A ». Enough said, when the band’s monicker itself is already synonymous with headbutt.
Double
Black Bomb A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see truth,love,
hate inside of you and me
can feel inside of you
Feel my flame, your flame
That burns inside of you and me
And I hope from you
I hope honesty, condolence
And I want from you
I want trust, no more distrust
for you and me
to give to receive, you know that,
nothing is free.
Everything has a price
Hard to find a compromise
Roads part easily everyone
Everyone makes its own way
Brothers tear apart
To feel unique
Friends destroy themselves
Just to end up lonely
Brothers tear apart
To feel unique
Friends destroy themselves
Just to end up lonely
We looked for our common points to find each other
in our opposites, we even laid bare ourselves
to carry masks.
But there's nothing true anymore
everything's stopped,
The story is over
I shall not forget, I've learnt.
I want to live all your experiences.
I want to be with you during the bad days.
And to delight myself in your enjoyments,
but Love is a self-sacrifice.
Lovers hate each other
Just to feel free
races kill each other
not to be outcasts anymore
Lovers hate each other
Just to feel free
Even races kill each other
not to be outcasts anymore
Like a double I can see yourself in the mirror
I can see truth,love,
hate inside of you and me
Close your eyes I know where we're goin'
my flame, your flame
That burns inside of you and me
Why do you suddenly go away from me
I hope from you
I hope honesty, condolence
Like a double I can see yourself in the mirror
I want trust, no more distrust
for you and me
I could not be the reflect of
someone else
I could not be the reflect of
someone else
I don't wanna love anymore
if we are separated
I don't wanna give my friendship
to be betrayed
I can't feed my roots anymore
my heart has become dry
I could not be the reflect of
someone else
Lovers hate each other
Brothers tear apart
Friends destroy themselves
Races kill each other
I live and let myself one more chance…
…to love stronger even if I know it can open
those old but still living sores one more time
…to trust my friends again, those who had
hurtfull words when I wasn't there
…to take up blood ties - I need to know
where I come from
…to accept my fellow whoever he is
And wherever he comes from
Coz like a double
I see myself in you
Lovers hate each other
Double, Double
Races kill each other
Double, Double
Brothers tear apart
Double, Double
Friends destroy themselves
Double, Double

"Double" by Black Bomb A is a powerful song that reflects on the complexity of human relationships, both at an individual and societal level. The lyrics express the singer's desire for honesty, trust, and compassion in relationships, while also acknowledging the destructive tendencies that often tear people apart.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer looks within himself and others to find the truth, love, and hate that lies inside. The next lines, "feel my flame, your flame, that burns inside of you and me," suggest a shared experience of passion and intensity within relationships.
The chorus reveals the singer's hopes and desires for more honesty, trust, and less distrust within relationships. The image of looking in the mirror and seeing oneself as a double suggests a deep connection and understanding between two individuals, but also the potential for conflict and division.
The second half of the song turns to a broader societal perspective, as the lyrics explore the ways in which people tear each other apart to feel unique, or to avoid being an outcast. The repetition of "lovers hate each other, brothers tear apart, friends destroy themselves, races kill each other" drives home the destructive nature of such behavior.
In the final lines of the song, the singer expresses a desire to love stronger, trust friends again, accept others for who they are, and ultimately find a sense of connection and reflection between themselves and others.
Overall, "Double" is a thought-provoking and emotional song that speaks to the complexity of human relationships and the challenges of navigating them.

Sadly, some people become enemies with the ones they love just to attain autonomy. Similarly, people belonging to different races turn against each other to evade societal discrimination

if we are separated
I don't wanna give my friendship
to be betrayed
I can't feed my roots anymore
my heart has become dry
I could not be the reflect of
someone else
If we are going to part ways, I don't want to love, and if you break my trust, I don't want to be friends. I'm emotionally exhausted, and I can't fake being somebody else.
Lovers hate each other
Brothers tear apart
Friends destroy themselves
Races kill each other
People who love each other become hateful, brethren become foes, friends become self-destructive, and society exhibits discrimination based on race.
I live and let myself one more chance…
…to love stronger even if I know it can open
those old but still living sores one more time
…to trust my friends again, those who had
hurtfull words when I wasn't there
…to take up blood ties - I need to know
where I come from
…to accept my fellow whoever he is
And wherever he comes from
Coz like a double
I see myself in you
I'll give one more chance to loving more fiercely even though it may lead to old wounds resurfacing. I'll be more trusting of my friends, despite their past hurtful actions. I'll reconnect with my ancestry to gain clarity on my heritage. Lastly, I'll welcome everyone for who they are regardless of their background, as I see myself in them.
Double, Double
