The Rumbling
Sim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rumbling, rumbling, it's coming
Rumbling, rumbling

Beware

Coming for you

All I ever wanted to do was do right things
I never wanted to be the king, I swear
All I ever wanted to do was save your life
I never wanted to grab a knife, I swear

Tearless, fearless
Burning, burning

You tell me what have I missed
Still wandering in the deep mist

If I lose it all, slip and fall
I will never look away
If I lose it all, lose it all, lose it all
If I lose it all outside the wall
Live to die another day
I don't want anything
I'm just here to

Beware

All I ever wanted to do was know what's out there
I refused to lose without a fight (oh oh yeah, I, oh, oh)
We're just too young, ignorant and innocent
Like kids stay up all night in a tent (oh yeah, I)
How do you see me? (oh yeah, I)
Am I who I used to be?

Beware

Nobody knows what's inside of me
Nobody knows what's inside of me
Nobody knows what's inside of me, ah

If I lose it all, slip and fall
Will you laugh at me?
If I lose it all, lose it all, ah

If I lose it all, slip and fall
I will never look away
If I lose it all, lose it all, lose it all
If I lose it all outside the wall
Live to die another day
I don't want anything
I'm just here to

Beware (rumbling, rumbling, it's coming)
Rumbling, rumbling




Coming for you (rumbling, rumbling, it's coming)
Rumbling, rumbling

Overall Meaning

The song "The Rumbling" by Sim is a reflection of anxiety and the feeling of impending danger that can sometimes creep up on a person. The repeated use of "rumbling" and "beware" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency, as if something ominous is on the horizon. The lyrics suggest that the singer has always tried to do the right thing and protect others, but now feels vulnerable and unsure. The lines "If I lose it all, slip and fall, will you laugh at me?" and "Am I who I used to be?" demonstrate a fear of losing oneself and being judged by others. The repeated line "nobody knows what's inside of me" further emphasizes this sense of internal turmoil and isolation.


The imagery in the song also adds to the feeling of danger and unease. The use of words like "tearless" and "fearless" suggest a certain level of numbness or detachment, while the line "burning, burning" speaks to the intensity of the emotions that are roiling beneath the surface. The mention of being lost in the "deep mist" implies a sense of confusion or disorientation, as if the singer is struggling to find their way.


Overall, "The Rumbling" is a powerful exploration of anxiety and the sense of impending danger that can sometimes be difficult to escape. The repeated use of certain phrases creates a feeling of urgency, and the introspective lyrics provide a glimpse into the singer's mindset.
