Bombs Away
Flying Colors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in the heavy
Trapped in the distance
Feelin' so, oh, oh, wrong

Made up of choices
And too many voices
Now it's all, all, all gone
Bombs away
Mountains are falling
Born in the thunder sky

Run by my instincts
I'm high on the freeway
And I'm scared I'll come down

Snackin' on Cheeze Whiz
Lost in the business
But I'd love to be found

Bombs away
Mountains are falling
Born in the thunder sky

I need you like I need a name
I've given up on everything
I'll give the rest of me to get to you
I need to find a way beyond
This life that I've just painted on
I'll give the rest of me to get to you

I need you like I need a name
I've given up on everything
I'll give the rest of me to get to you
I need to find a way beyond




This life that I've just painted on
I'll give the rest of me to get to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Flying Colors' song "Bombs Away" are quite enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a sense of frustration and disorientation in the midst of a chaotic world. The song starts with lines that suggest being stuck in a heavy and distant place, feeling wrong and lost. The second verse talks about being caught up in the pressures of life, represented by "choices" and "voices", and feeling like everything is now gone. These opening lines allude to a sense of hopelessness and aimlessness.


However, the chorus brings a sudden shift in tone, as if the singer has found a way to break free from all the negativity. "Bombs away" can be interpreted as a metaphor for demolishing barriers and obstacles, while "mountains are falling" can be seen as a sign of change and upheaval. The idea of being "born in the thunder sky" suggests a new beginning and an opportunity to start anew. In the bridge, the lyrics become more personal, as the singer expresses a deep yearning for connection and belonging. The repeated lines "I need you like I need a name" convey a sense of urgency and a desire to find meaning and purpose in life.


Overall, "Bombs Away" is a song that deals with complex themes such as identity, isolation, and resilience, and it uses vivid imagery and poetic language to convey a powerful message of hope and perseverance.
