Bomber
Headgirl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He came from the East
They called him a beast
This King of terror insane
Neutron Ronnie
The people would whisper his name
Dangerous and mad
A torch in his hand
Spread fire by the light of the moon
Ooh, pyrotechnical wizard of doom
Oh no, here comes Ronnie
Oh, the bombers insane
Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes
Oh no, no, here comes Ronnie
Oh the bombers insane
Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes
A phantom so cool
A midnight would rule
And Molotov cocktail would rain
Babies screamin'
And house would go up in flames
When next Ronnie goes, nobody knows
But inside him's where Lucifer hides
Ooh, he's the boy with the bombs at his side
Oh no, here comes Ronnie
Oh, the boy with the flame
Ah, his life has been burning inside
Oh no, no, here comes Ronnie
Oh, the bombers insane
Ah, till he dies the burning in his eyes
Oh no, here comes Ronnie
Oh, the boy with the flame
Ah, his life has been burning inside
Oh no, no, here comes Ronnie




Oh, the bombers insane
Ah, till he dies the burning in his eyes

Overall Meaning

The Headgirl's song "Bomber" is a powerful rock and roll tribute to a pyrotechnical wizard of doom known as "Neutron Ronnie". In the first verse, we learn that Ronnie came from the East, and that he was widely regarded as a beast and a King of Terror. The next few lines tell us that he was both dangerous and mad, and that he often spread fire by the light of the moon. The chorus repeats "Oh no, here comes Ronnie / Oh, the bombers insane / Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes", emphasizing his reputation as a fierce and unstoppable force of destruction.


In the second verse, the lyrics take a darker turn. We learn that Ronnie is a phantom who rules at midnight, and that he rains Molotov cocktails down on buildings while babies scream and houses go up in flames. The chorus repeats again, and we are left with the ominous lines "When next Ronnie goes, nobody knows / But inside him's where Lucifer hides". Overall, the song is a thrilling and terrifying exploration of the destructive power of one man's obsession with fire and explosions.
