Timebomb
Ohgr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

spoken:
The witch is the mother of my dreams
Suicide flies against the backdoor screen
Sex with a witch, psst psssaht
Bestiality among consenting adults
Think gods feel good when applied with cream?
Throw caution to the wind, let the games begin and all but Hubert complain
Can we talk while we're getting hurt?
Suicide flies in a Barbarella cartoon
Brazier hung from a chandelier

There's time to get those involved ...?
Out of the slime and darkness it comes to inflict its life-destroying poison on the careless, the unwary, the unprotected.
No sane person would deliberately expose themselves to its venom.
No intelligent person would venture within striking distance of its fangs.
Yet today, young people are flirting with a poison every bit as deadly....  :done speaking


My name is smokey
Your favorite chokey
Come on and check me out
Friendship is fun
When you're on the run
From everything I'm about
Some say it's silly
Some say familiar
Wanting to be let out
I've dealt with billions
Of your resilience
Come on and let me out

My favorite fear is there in the air
I feel a time bomb ticking closer to my house
And you're free to go if you care
Closer to the way I come before you in my heart

And if I'm choking
While you're still smoking
Watch what the bird left out
Seldom the sum of
What I have done
Will leave you an empty house
Some say I'm a virus
Even the liars
Waiting to spread me out
I spent your millions
Taking the chill on
Come on and let me shout

My favorite fear is there in the air
I feel a time bomb ticking closer to my heart
And you're free to go if you care
Closer to the way I felt before you in my heart

My favorite fear is there in the air
My favorite fear is there in the air




My favorite fear is there in the air
Closer to the way I come before you in my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ohgr's "Timebomb" are abstract and difficult to interpret. The spoken introduction is particularly puzzling, with references to a witch, suicide flies, sex with a witch, and bestiality. The lyrics in the main part of the song are equally cryptic, but there seems to be a general theme of fear and danger. The singer, "Smokey," sings about his favorite fear, which is a ticking timebomb that is getting closer to his heart. There is a sense of urgency and impending doom in the lyrics.


The chorus repeats the line, "Closer to the way I come before you in my heart," which is open to interpretation. It could refer to a past relationship or a simpler time before the fear and danger set in. The line, "And you're free to go if you care," suggests that others may not share Smokey's fear and may be able to escape the danger. However, the song ends on an ambiguous note, with the repeated line, "My favorite fear is there in the air," leaving the listener unsure of whether there is hope or despair.


Overall, the lyrics to "Timebomb" are a complex and enigmatic exploration of fear and danger. The song's meaning is open to interpretation, and different listeners may find different layers of meaning in the lyrics.

I have it on CD and it is excellent. I used to have a nice 5.1 surround sound system and the bass sounded really good with that 2 ft cube Subwoofer!
