Click Click Boom
Saliva [gen-thylon] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'mon c'mon, c'mon c'mon
On those Saturdays when kids go out and play,
Yo I was up in my room I let the stereo blaze,
Wasn't faded, not jaded
Just a kid with a pad and pen and a big imagination.
All this, I seek,
I find I push the envelope to the line,
Make it, break it, take it
Until I'm overrated.

Click, click boom.
I'm coming down on the stereo,
Hear me on the radio,
Click, click boom.
I'm coming down with the new style and you know it's buck wild.
Click, click boom
I'm on the radio station touring round the nation,
Leaving the scene in devastation.

I can see it in my mind,
I can see it in their eyes.
It's close enough to touch it now,
But far away enough to die.

What the hell is wrong with me?
My mom and dad weren't perfect,
But still you don't hear no cryin' ass bitchin' from me,
Like there seems to be on everybody's CD
So just sit back and relax and let me have your head for a minute,
I can show you something in it,
That has yet to be presented,
Oh yeah!

Click, click boom.
I'm coming down on the stereo,
Hear me on the radio,
Click, click boom.
I'm coming down with the new style and you know it's buck wild.
Click, click boom
I'm on the radio station touring round the nation,
Leaving the scene in devastation.

Why have I clouded up my mind,
Why's my mother always right,
And will I make it to the end?
Or will I crawl away and die?

Click, click, boom.
Click, click boom.
Click, click boom.
Click, click boom.

On those Saturday when kids go out and play yo I was up in my room
I let the stereo blaze on Saturdays
When kids go out and play, I was up in my room
I let the stereo blaze
It's all inside of me
It's all inside of me
It's all inside of me
It's all inside of my head.
It's all inside of me
It's coming over me.
It's all inside of me
It's all inside my head, yeah!
Click, click boom
I'm coming down on the stereo hear me on the radio.
Click click boom
I'm comin' down with the new style you know it's buck wild.
Everybody, everybody come on (C'mon, c'mon)
Everybody come on (C'mon, c'mon)
Click click boom




C'mon, c'mon, everybody c'mon, click click boom
Click click boom!

Overall Meaning

The song "Click Click Boom" by Saliva is an energetic rock anthem about the ups and downs of chasing success in music. The lyrics describe lead singer Josey Scott's childhood spent dreaming of rock stardom, and the setbacks and doubts he faces as an adult artist. Scott describes himself as a determined and creative kid with a wild imagination, who now challenges himself to constantly push the limits of his potential as a musician. He implores listeners to let him take control of their heads, promising to deliver something new and exciting that they've never heard before.


The chorus of the song is a confident declaration of Saliva's talent and success, as Scott sings "Click, click boom. I'm on the radio station touring round the nation, leaving the scene in devastation." However, the verses reveal that this level of success doesn't come without personal sacrifice and self-doubt. Scott acknowledges that he's not perfect, but refuses to complain or make excuses like he hears on other artists' songs. He wonders if his dreams are truly achievable, or if they will always be just out of reach. The repetition of the song's title in the chorus creates a sense of urgency and excitement, while also reflecting the sound of a camera shutter or trigger being pulled - a fitting metaphor for the explosive power of Saliva's music.
