Fission and Fusion
Bullet Bane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Radioactive mushrooms
We had a good day
Now look what they've made

Super heated gases
Burning up my skin

Go! It started out the countdown
Now! We have just ten seconds
No! There's no way to go back
So we better think twice and realize that we must
Wake up before our sun
Never comes back to shine again

The future depends on chemical agents ready to
Fission and fusion
Fissure it
Go!

This is a competition of assholes
The contest of the motherfuckers there
Who will reach the highest level?
Who will reach the space?
Top in terms of mass destruction
They are never off campaign
Never off campaign
Have you got the lesson?

Wake up before our sun...

The future depends on chemical fucking agents ready to




Fission and fusion
Fissure it

Overall Meaning

The song "Fission and Fusion" by Brazilian metal band Bullet Bane depicts the destructive power of nuclear weaponry and the devastating impacts of a potential nuclear war. The opening line, "Radioactive mushrooms," sets the tone for the rest of the song by immediately evoking the imagery of nuclear fallout. Through the lyrics, the band describes the consequences of allowing nations to possess nuclear weapons, using phrases like "super heated gases" and "burning up my skin" to concretize the horrifying effects.


The second verse features an urgent call to action, imploring listeners to "wake up before our sun never comes back to shine again." This dramatic plea underscores the severe and irreparable damage that nuclear weapons are capable of causing. The final verse is a condemnation of the arms race and the destructive competition between nations that fuels it. The lyrics speak to the dangerous and senseless pursuit of ever-more-powerful weapons and the ultimate futility of trying to "win" a war.


All in all, "Fission and Fusion" is a powerful song that offers a stark warning about the dangers of nuclear weapons and the importance of taking action to prevent their use.
