Limp were a punk rock/pop punk … Read Full Bio ↴At least two groups are named Limp.
Limp were a punk rock/pop punk band from the San Francisco Bay Area that released three albums on Honest Don's, a subsidiary label of Fat Wreck Chords, as well as an EP on Fueled By Ramen, and a 7" record of early material on Coldfront Records.
Limp's career was launched with the release of their first full length Pop and Disorderly in 1997. Hailing from the East Bay, Limp was born out of the same punk scene that brought about Rancid, Neurosis, Econochrist, and Fang. The record was well received not only because of its highly infectious content but also because the band remained on the road for over a year in support of the album.
Despite the hectic touring schedule, in 1998 Limp recorded a five-song EP for Less Than Jake's label, Fueled by Ramen, titled Fine Girl. Recorded by Ryan Greene and mixed by Kevin Army (Green Day and Operation Ivy). Fine Girl exceeded everyone's expectations. In fact, Fueled by Ramen has pressed the record over three times.
Limp released their sophomore LP for Honest Don's in February 1999. The album was titled Guitarded, and was recorded over the course of seven months in 1998 between a slew of tours. Guitarded was a huge hit on college radio and got more airplay than any previous Honest Don's record. Following up in 2002, Limp released their self-titled third studio full length, which was recorded at Motor Studios with Ryan Greene, who produced Pop and Disorderly and Guitarded. Greene is known for his work with punk bands (NOFX, Nerf Herder, Swingin' Utters, Lagwagon, etc.) as well as Cheap Trick. The self-titled album displays Limp's ability to blend catchy pop-punk with dynamic rock. Producer Ryan Greene had this to say about the record, "It's crazy. There's some insane vocal stuff going on here." Shortly after this release, Limp disbanded.
Limp has done full tours with MxPx, The Donnas, Less Than Jake, Lagwagon, Suicide Machines, Dance Hall Crashers, and the Bouncing Souls. In addition to Limp's rigorous touring schedule, they also played high-profile dates with Foo Fighters, Blink-182, The Offspring, Goldfinger, NOFX, The Specials, and Unwritten Law as well as performing on the Warped Tour and at CMJ.

Atom Bomb
Limp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'm never wrong
Don't push too hard
I said I'm never wrong
I've got a thousand fears
You will lend an ear
It sounds unfair
Let's settle the score
And shatter the sky
Such a beautiful sight
Come even this life
Let's settle the score
And shatter the sky
I'll shatter, I'll shatter
I swim the shallow end
Searching deep within
To save us all
To this there is no end
I'll make the planet shake
Based on your mistake
You'll take the fall
And then you'll kill us all
So shut in, can't get out,
These feelings, can't let out
The lyrics of Limp's song Atom Bomb invoke themes of power, fear, revenge, and consequences of one's actions. The first verse conveys the idea of immense power and how the person with the atom bomb feels they can never be wrong, which eventually leads to arrogance. The second verse talks about the fears that the person has and how they feel like nobody listens to them. They believe that they are an easy scare and nobody takes them seriously. In the chorus, there is an element of settling scores and inflicting devastation as the person talks about shattering the sky, showing the magnitude of their intentions. There is a sense of doom and acceptance of the inevitable in the lines, "I'll shatter, I'll shatter." In the third verse, the person talks about swimming the shallow end, searching for a solution to save everyone. But due to their power, they can make the planet shake based on one mistake, and that mistake could lead to the annihilation of everyone. The final line talks about feeling trapped with their emotions, which they cannot express.
Overall, the song seems to be a warning to those in power about the consequences of their actions. It shows how one's arrogance can lead to destructive tendencies that can cause the end of the world. It is a call to listen to people's fears and take them seriously, as not doing so can lead to dire consequences.

I've got an atom bomb
I have the power to destroy everything, so I am always right
So I'm never wrong
My power makes me infallible
Don't push too hard
Don't challenge me, or you'll see my power
I said I'm never wrong
I reiterate my infallibility
I've got a thousand fears
Even with my power, I am still afraid
You will lend an ear
Please listen to me, I need someone to hear me
It sounds unfair
I know it may not be right, but it is what I want
'Cause I'm an easy scare
I may use my fear to gain control over you
Let's settle the score
It's time to determine who's in charge
And shatter the sky
We'll go to great lengths to prove who's right
Such a beautiful sight
The destruction will be magnificent to watch
Come even this life
I am willing to risk everything, including life itself
I'll shatter, I'll shatter
I will destroy everything around me
I swim the shallow end
I am searching for answers in easy places
Searching deep within
I need to dig deeper to understand everything
To save us all
I have the power, but I want to use it for good
To this there is no end
My quest for knowledge and power will never stop
I'll make the planet shake
I can cause destruction on a massive scale
Based on your mistake
If you mess up, I will use my power to punish you
You'll take the fall
You will suffer the consequences of your actions
And then you'll kill us all
Your mistake will cause catastrophic consequences for everyone
So shut in, can't get out
I am feeling trapped and unable to escape
These feelings, can't let out
I have emotions that I cannot express or control
