Are You Nervous?
Rock Kills Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All your fault
How are you doing with it?
Hey, are you nervous?
Everything that you've
Ever known
Will go up in flames
Tell me, are you nervous?
And the sky will fall
Down on you
And the world still turns
Round round round
And the sky will fall
Down on you
As your life goes on
Down down down
Everything that you've
Ever done
Will come back to haunt you
Tell me, are you nervous?
Now you know that it
Is for sure
How are you taking it?
Do you deserve this?
And the sky will fall
Down on you
And the world still turns
Round round round
And the sky will fall
Down on you
As your life goes on
Down down down
And the sky will, fall down
On you...
And the sky will fall
Down on you
And the world still turns
Round round round
And the sky will fall
Down on you
And your life goes on
Down down down
And the sky will fall
And the world still turns, round
And the sky will fall
And your life goes on
Down down down
In "Are You Nervous?" by Rock Kills Kid, the lyrics speak to the theme of consequences and accountability. The song is a warning to the listener that their actions have consequences and they must prepare for the aftermath. The phrase "Now you know it's all your fault, how are you doing with it?" implies that someone is realizing the full weight of their actions and is now starting to feel the guilt and anxiety that comes with it. The chorus repeats the phrase "And the sky will fall down on you" which is a metaphor for the consequences that will come crashing down on them.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that nothing is permanent and that everything that one has ever known, including their life, will eventually come to an end. This is symbolized by the imagery of things "going up in flames" and the repetition of "down, down, down" in the chorus. The question "Do you deserve this?" suggests that the consequences that are to come are a form of punishment. Overall, the song is a message to the listener that they must be prepared for the consequences of their actions, as they will eventually come crashing down on them.
