Thunder & Lightning
Gamma Lyrics

[M&L: Edlund]

Your blood is cold as ice in the summer
And you're steaming hot in the winter
You lived your life on Baphomet's throne
And you are so much like me
You hide away from the light
And that's how it begins
Forget the sunshine for awhile
And dance with me into night
Celebrate
The thunder and lightning
Raise your glasses high
To the thunder and lightning
Thank God
For the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight
Now smoke is going down
And snow is falling outside
Through lasers, stroboscopes
I see your face in there
Through rain and stormy weather
With black boots of leather
You're the flame, you're the fire
Fully equipped with dark desires
The rain, the dusk, the dirt, the dark
And the thunder and lightning
To the south and the north and the east and the west
For the thunder and lightning
Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood




And for the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gamma's song Thunder & Lightning reflect on the dark side of an individual's personality. The opening lines, "Your blood is cold as ice in the summer, and you're steaming hot in the winter" portrays the person as being paradoxical and unpredictable. The following line, "You lived your life on Baphomet's throne," reveals that the person has lived their life in the dark side and has been influenced by the demonic forces. The lines "You hide away from the light, and that's how it begins, forget the sunshine for a while, and dance with me into the night" shows that even though the person tries to hide from the light, they are still tempted by it but they give in to the darkness.


The chorus of the song encourages the individual to celebrate the darkness and to raise their glasses for thunder and lightning. The lines "Thank God for the thunder and lightning, celebrate tonight" shows that the person has accepted their dark side and is rejoicing in it. The second verse of the song uses imagery to highlight the individual's core personality traits. The lines "Through rain and stormy weather, with black boots of leather, you're the flame, you're the fire" show that the person is passionate and has a fiery personality. The song concludes with the lines "Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood, and for the thunder and lightning, celebrate tonight" implying that the darkness is an inherent part of the person's being, and therefore, they should embrace and celebrate it.


Line by Line Meaning

Your blood is cold as ice in the summer
You're emotionally detached even during happy times


And you're steaming hot in the winter
You're filled with passion even during tough times


You lived your life on Baphomet's throne
You were unafraid to embrace darkness and bizarre practices


And you are so much like me
We share many traits and characteristics


You hide away from the light
You avoid revealing your true self to others


And that's how it begins
This is where our journey together starts


Forget the sunshine for awhile
Leave behind happiness and embrace the darkness


And dance with me into night
Join me in exploring the mysterious and unknown


Celebrate
Enjoy and embrace


The thunder and lightning
The intense and powerful forces of nature


Raise your glasses high
Let's make a toast to this experience


To the thunder and lightning
May we appreciate and enjoy the storm


Thank God
Expressing gratitude


For the thunder and lightning
For the experience of embracing darkness and intensity


Celebrate tonight
Live in the moment and enjoy this experience


Now smoke is going down
Smoke is becoming visible and present


And snow is falling outside
The natural world is still present and active


Through lasers, stroboscopes
Amidst the flashing lights and sensory overload


I see your face in there
I am drawn to and focused upon you


Through rain and stormy weather
Despite difficult circumstances and situations


With black boots of leather
You are unapologetically yourself and embrace a certain aesthetic


You're the flame, you're the fire
You are the source of passion and intensity


Fully equipped with dark desires
You thrive on embracing the mysterious, taboo, and intense


The rain, the dusk, the dirt, the dark
The less glamorous and perhaps more challenging parts of life


And the thunder and lightning
And the intense and powerful forces of nature


To the south and the north and the east and the west
Embracing and experiencing intensity from all directions


For the thunder and lightning
Being grateful for the experience of storms and intensity


Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood
Being grateful for having darkness and intensity within ourselves


Celebrate tonight
Live in the moment and enjoy this experience
