Invincible
Ok:Go Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They'll have to go through you first
I bet they won't be expecting that
When they finally come to destroy the earth
They'll have to deal with you first
And now my money says they won't know about the
Thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
You're invincible
That crushing crashing atom-smashing white hot thing,
It's invincible
When they finally come, what'll you do to them
Gonna decimate them like you did to me?
Will you leave them stunned and stuttering
When they finally come how will you handle them?
Will you devastate them deliberately?
Cause I'm gonna guess they won't be
Prepared for the thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes
Invincible
You're invincible
That crushing crashing atom-smashing white hot thing
It's invincible
So please, use your powers for good
Please use your powers for good
You're invincible

When I was going through chemo+radiation treatments for cancer, quite a few years ago, this song was my battle anthem. It kept me positive and strong. With the 1st lines of the song being "When they finally come to destroy the earth, they'll have to go through you first" -- what can I say? It really helped. If you ever know a rock fan who's going through cancer treatments, pass this song along. Every little thing...
