The Warning
Loco & Jam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reset the board
I'm back to my own devices
Speaking in code
Just figuring out what my life is
Rocket or not
It's gonna get hot, bring a jacket
The sky fades away
Revealing a stray cigarette
Still burning

It's too late
Your gravity's got a hold on me (It's too late)
It's too late
Your atmospheric smile (It's too late)
My radio wires
The warning light choir

It's too late
Your gravity's got a hold on me
It's too late
Your atmospheric smile
My radio wires
The warning light choir

I'll be beside you
When all the planets fade away




Stars surround you
An orbit I cannot escape

He communicates in code, trying to figure out what his new life is. There is no set plan or blueprint to follow. He is starting anew, trying to decipher and navigate his life in his own way. "Rocket or not, it's gonna get hot. Bring a jacket" means that the new journey will be intense, challenging and require preparation for the unexpected. The sky fades away revealing a stray cigarette that's still burning. They could be symbolic for the remnants of the past, or consequences of choices made in the past that still affect the singer.


"It's too late, your gravity's got a hold on me." The singer seems to have fallen into a trap or something similar, unable to escape from whatever force has him trapped. The "atmospheric smile" could be the deception that causes the singer to let down his guard, allowing himself to be entrapped. The "radio wires" and the "warning light choir" signifies that he is aware of the danger around him, but it's too late to make amendments. "I'll be beside you when all the planets fade away. Stars surround you, an orbit I cannot escape." The singer is accepting his fate, resigning himself to it.
