Fallout
Severed Fifth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
walls inside are sound,
Never found the riot seige, as the
time to kill counts down,
Feed the fear as my blood runs
clear, and the sweat begins to
pour,
And then the doors they open,
As you follow me, feel you
breathing,
Beyond heaven's fields, god is
kneeling,
As you tighten me, pain forever,
Rip apart my soul, feel the hate
control.
Fallout!
Fallout!
Fallout!
Everyone hit the ground.
Fallout!
Fallout!
Fallout!
Fallout!
As you follow me, feel you
breathing,
Beyond heaven's fields, god is
kneeling,
As you tighten me, pain forever,
Rip apart my soul, feel the hate
control.
The song "Fallout" by Severed Fifth tackles the theme of war and its devastating effects on humanity. The first stanza talks about the darkness that envelops the singer and the soundness of the walls around him, which could be a metaphor for the sense of safety and security that he feels despite being in the middle of a warzone. The line "Never found the riot seige, as the time to kill counts down" could also imply how the singer is trying to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, but time is running out for him.
The second stanza talks about the fear and anxiety that the singer feels as he senses the impending danger. He is sweating profusely, listening to the sound of doors opening, and he knows that a bloody war is about to begin. The chorus "Fallout! Fallout! Fallout! Everyone hit the ground" could be interpreted as a warning or an instruction for everyone to take cover and brace themselves for impact.
The last stanza repeats the same lines as the previous one and adds a few more descriptive phrases. The lines "As you follow me, feel you breathing, beyond heaven's fields, god is kneeling" could mean different things depending on how the listener perceives it. It could be a message to his loved ones to keep following the path that he took even after he's gone, or it could be a sarcastic comment about the futility of religion and faith during times of war. The line "Rip apart my soul, feel the hate control" could suggest the internal struggle that the singer feels as he tries to reconcile his hatred for the enemy with his own humanity.
Overall, "Fallout" is a powerful song that reflects the reality of war and how it affects people on a personal and emotional level.

As the darkness covers me, the walls inside are sound,
I feel enveloped by darkness, but I can rely on the strength of the walls around me to protect me.
Never found the riot seige, as the time to kill counts down,
I haven't encountered any uprising, but time is running out and tensions are rising.
Feed the fear as my blood runs clear, and the sweat begins to pour,
My fear is growing and my body is responding with physical reactions like sweating.
And then the doors they open, and they reek of bloody war.
The doors reveal a harsh reality of violence and destruction.
As you follow me, feel you breathing, Beyond heaven's fields, god is kneeling,
I'm aware of your presence following me, and I acknowledge that even beyond the realm of life, there may be a higher power.
As you tighten me, pain forever, Rip apart my soul, feel the hate control.
Your grip on me is causing endless pain, tearing at the very fabric of my being and allowing hate to take over.
Fallout! Fallout! Fallout! Everyone hit the ground.
The situation has escalated to a dangerous level, and everyone needs to take cover.
Fallout! Fallout! Fallout! Fallout!
The repetition of 'Fallout' emphasizes the urgency and gravity of the situation.
As you follow me, feel you breathing, Beyond heaven's fields, god is kneeling,

what would be cool is if in the story line how the giant ghoul is mutated is from dozens of glowing ones, and hundreds of ghouls.
all forming together piling onto each other to create legs, then a torso, then arms neck head...
For this giant ghoul to have a sort of eco to ghouls across miles of where it is, and for the ghouls to become part of the giant ghoul.
The goal being for you to kill the beast and to kill all the ghouls.
what would also be cool is if charged glowing ones had an odd physical property to them, to where they would merge with or absorbed a regular glowing one. and then once a glowing one had absorbed one glowing one. it had an eco that reached for a few hundred feet... maybe to where a regular ghoul just makes it bigger and a glowing one makes the eco reach further distances.
it gets bigger and bigger until its 300 feet tall consuming hundreds of ghouls, and you could stumble upon one of these ghouls in any stage of their size. anywhere from a charged glowing one. all the way to where it is 300 feet tall and it has hundreds of powerful ghouls fallowing it.
you could also make it to where after is has reached 300 feet and the end stages. all of the ghouls within its will i guess you could call it. all act under one consensuses so the hundreds of ghouls all act as one.
to where the ghoul has to eat other ghouls or other mutated organisms to maintain its size.
Now that would be cool

The most nightmarish thing about fallout 5 is the wait for it to actually come out. Taking bets. 10 years from now? Ish
@weedGato
I'll release the game once i beat saints row 5
@zzzzz329
Todd Howard said it was next after Elder Scrolls and he did say 5 to 8 years for each was his goal so 10 years isn't a far off guess, could be 16 years or more if he doesn't rush, he said he didnt wanna take 10 years again on one game but would if he felt like it needed it so who knows though
@Cam-qf6mx
Gonna retire and have kids while waiting
@andrewbain8831
Giving it 15-20 years
@raiogelato6921
I think that if starfield is as good as they promise it might be more bearable.
@MEEEEOOOOWWWW738
I wanna see more nightmare mutants like Centaurs! The always freaked me out in fallout 3 and the series is missing pure nightmare fuel since.
@WrathKing47
I agree, Fallout needs more nightmare fuel.
@aussiekola2370
Yes! More muties!
@Beansforvavle
If you haven't tried them, Fallout 1 and 2 have other nightmare fuel mutants that haven't appeared in a canon game since! Stuff like floaters. They just creep me out!
