Bombs Away
Texas Paris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i've got a static aesthetic nihalistic prophetic everthing is a god damn lie
i want to go grab a shovel so i can dig up the devil
So I can ask him why, So I can ask him why

And I think I think and therefore I am
Hey man don't you understand
That I've got the power to ruin revolutions
What would you say
If I said bombs away that you're not, not so notorious

I'm standing up on a mountain with telescopes i'm just watching Everybody just try try try
I'm gonna reach way up high so I can pull down the sky
So I can ask him why, So I can ask him why

And I think I think and therefore I am
Hey man don't you understand
That I've got the power to ruin revolutions
What would you say
If I say bombs away

I know if I start with the finger and move to the fist
You're the first person I'll cross off my list you'll never be missed

I say bombs away
What what would you say
I say bombs away

I've got a static aesthetic nihalistic prophetic everthing is a god damn lie
I want to go grab a shovel so i can dig up the devil
So I can ask him why, So I can ask him why





And you're not, not so notorious

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bombs Away" by Texas Paris attach a powerful message to the song. The singer's disillusionment and disgust are apparent through his words, which suggest that he has lost all faith in the world around him. He starts the first verse by expressing his inability to believe in anything he sees around him, calling everything that he experiences "a god damn lie." His nihilistic perspective has left him feeling disconnected from the world, and he fantasizes about digging up the devil to ask him why everything around him is so messed up.


The chorus of "Bombs Away" takes on an ironic tone, as the singer talks about his ability to ruin revolutions and bring down those in power. The lyrics juxtapose the gritty reality of the verses with the idea that the singer holds the power to change things. The singer seems almost frustrated by the fact that he has power but doesn't know how to use it. The metaphorical reference to bombs serves as a reminder that even though the singer has the power to create change, it could come at an enormous cost.


In the second verse, the singer appears to be observing the world from a distance. He's standing up on a mountain with telescopes to watch as others try and fail to make a difference. He seems to be looking for answers to why the world is the way it is, almost like he's searching for a solution. He ends the verse by saying that he wants to ask "him," most likely referring to the devil again, why everything has turned out this way. The singer's frustration is palpable as he tries to grapple with the problems of the world.
