Sonic Boom!
The Gothsicles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Micah! You look like-ah
Streetfighter!
Micah! You look like-ah
You're 16 bits on a Super Nintendo!

You spike your hair in such a way,
It's blonde and sharp and pointy
And it makes me want to say:
SONIC BOOM!

Cruc' Injection!
Entering the room,
Throwing catchy synth hooks at tremendous volume!
Spikey blonde hair that's pointy and well groomed,
You cannot withstand the industrial
SONIC BOOM!

Micah! You look like-ah
Flashkicker!
Micah! You look like-ah
You're gonna hit M. Bison with a medium punch!

You spike your hair in such a way,
I hold back for two seconds




Push forward and A!
SONIC BOOM!
