Death from Above
Norwegian Radio Orchestra/Turbonegro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to know where the bodies lie
I don't give a fuck if your life has died
It's just karma, bad karma
I don't really care if you're engulfed in flames
I don't really care if you don't look the same
I don't really care if you don't catch the train
It's just a
Death from above
Death from above
Death from above
It's just a
Death from above
Death from above
Death from a
Flying in on the wings of destruction
With freedom in our eyes
It's a death from above and everybody dies
I don't even care if your house is in pieces
I don't even care if you cry for Jesus
When you find yourself in a storm of feces
Of feces, a storm of feces
Let the flag of destruction fly
From the top of the mountain high
From the chateaus to the plateaus
In the shadows, the shadows
It's just a
Death from above
Death from above
Death from above
It's just a
Death from above
Death from above
Death from a
Flying in on the wings of destruction
With freedom in our eyes
It's a death from above and everybody dies
Dies!
Dies!
Death from above
The lyrics of "Death from Above" by Norwegian Radio Orchestra/Turbonegro speak of a disregard for consequences and an embrace of destruction. The singer does not want to be involved in the consequences of illegal acts ("I don't want to work for the FBI / I don't want to know where the bodies lie"), nor do they care about the well-being or appearance of others ("I don't really care if you're engulfed in flames / I don't really care if you don't look the same"). The repetition of the phrase "death from above" reinforces the idea of a sudden, destructive force coming from nowhere, with no regard for what is in its path or who it affects.
The lyrics also touch on themes of power and freedom, with the idea of flying in on "wings of destruction" and the call to "let the flag of destruction fly / From the top of the mountain high." The idea of a "storm of feces" adds a jarring element to the lyrics, suggesting a no-holds-barred attitude towards causing chaos and destruction. Overall, the song presents a vision of a world where destruction and chaos reign supreme, with little regard for the consequences.
