Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sheryl Crow's song "Atom Bomb" are about a person who is deeply attracted to someone else, and is determined to pursue the relationship despite the risks. The singer sees the object of their affection walking by and feels an immediate connection, almost as if they can read each other's thoughts. They express a sense of urgency, saying that they can't waste any time and that they are ready to take things to the next level.


The singer describes their desire as an "Atom Bomb", a powerful force that is about to explode. They want the other person to feel the same way and to be swept up in the intensity of their emotions. The clock is ticking, and they feel like they need to act fast before the opportunity is lost. They are confident in their abilities and are not afraid to take risks in pursuit of their passion.


The lyrics are a mix of excitement, anticipation, and, at times, desperation. The singer is consumed by their desire for the other person and is willing to do whatever it takes to make the relationship work. The song is catchy and upbeat, but also hints at a darker side of love and desire.

The rock face of Sheryl, always quality. Good sound, excellent voice and perfect staging. As always wonderful.

TiltonBoy1963

Something old something new, something for everyone, which is what Sheryl has been delivering for 25 years. Love it when she has no instrument, just a microphone and channels her inner rock chick. No wonder the Stones love her.
