Nuclear Fusion
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look into the sky and see the pattern
Reflecting in your eyes from a distance
Mirror in disguise of [?]
Mix it up like a cocktail

The devil's inside of the detail
The devil runs wild under veil
Coming together in the pattern
Fit tightly like a dovetail

Nuclear fusion
All the programming couldn't break us
Exponentially heightened power
We're essentially one being
All the programming couldn't tear us
From eventually giving tightly
We're essentially one being
Nuclear fusion

Ocean like a [?]
Separating me from restoration
My spirit leaves my body in frustration
Flying through the world in radiation

The devil's inside of the detail
The devil runs wild under veil
Coming together in the pattern
Fit tightly like a dovetail

Nuclear fusion
All the programming couldn't break us
Exponentially heightened power
We're essentially one being
All the programming couldn't tear us
From eventually building tightly
We're essentially one being
Nuclear fusion

All that I ever see is nuclear fusion




All that I ever hear is nuclear fusion
(Nuclear fusion)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nuclear Fusion" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are quite interesting and abstract. The first verse talks about looking into the sky and seeing a pattern reflecting in one's eyes from a distance, which could be a metaphor for the unity of the universe in everything around us. The mirror in disguise could represent how we view ourselves and our perception of the world. The line "Mix it up like a cocktail" could be a reference to the mixing of different elements to create something new and powerful.


The chorus talks about the power of coming together and creating something greater than oneself. The devil, which is often associated with chaos and destruction, is inside the detail and runs wild under the veil, emphasizing the importance of taking notice of the smaller details to create something greater. The song then goes on to describe the frustration of being separated from restoration, possibly referring to the healing power of coming together and the frustrations of being apart.


The second verse describes the spirit leaving the body in frustration, yet flying through the world in radiation, which could be a reference to the power of radiation and energy. The chorus repeats the message of coming together and creating something greater through nuclear fusion.


Overall, "Nuclear Fusion" encourages the idea of unity and the power of coming together to create something greater than oneself. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the underlying message of the song is clear.

Look into the sky and see the pattern
Reflecting in your eye from a distance
Mirroring the stars are the atoms
Mixing up like a cocktail

The devil's inside all the detail
The tittle runs wild under veil
Coming together in the pattern
Fit tightly like a dovetail

Nuclear fusion
All the bonds that be couldn't break us
Exponentially in fine feather
We're essentially one being
All the bonds that be couldn't tear us
From eventually fusing tightly
We're essentially one being
Nuclear fusion

Ocean like a moat fortification
Separating me from restoration
My spirit leaves my body in frustration
Flying through the world in radiation

The devil's inside all the detail
The tittle runs wild under veil
Coming together in the pattern
Fit tightly like a dovetail

Nuclear fusion
All the bonds that be couldn't break us
Exponentially in fine feather
We're essentially one being
All the bonds that be couldn't tear us
From eventually fusing tightly
We're essentially one being
Nuclear fusion

All that I ever see is nuclear fusion
All that I ever hear is nuclear fusion

I'm quite confident I've heard every version of this song on the internet and on CD. Thus, I can say quite confidently that this is the best version of this song.

mrktrb

it all because of "nuclear fusioyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyon"

sgtpepper6379

Every song they play on kexp seems to be the best version of that song

Paul Reynolds

Totally.

Corbinisms

@Cole Fisher Well, yeah, live-in-person is going to generally be way better than any recording. If you only include the versions that have been recorded and posted online, I have to agree that this is the best version.

Cole Fisher

Saw them live last night. It was better. The throat singing intro sounded like the album but went for even longer. They are amazing.

ShadowKirito

They should put this version on Spotify

Lolo

and still sound like shit but in ogg, naaahh. Just stay in hi-compressed mp3 or get the FLACS

Omar Shahnawaz

Oh yeah definitely

JustARandomDude
