Atom Bomb
The Str!ke Lyrics

We're counting down we're getting ready for lift off
Preparing for something big and exciting to happen, like a rocket launch countdown.

The ground is shaking and you're bringing the pain
The force of this person's energy is causing a destructive impact.

You got your target on the heart of the dance floor
This person is focused on causing chaos and destruction in the center of the party or gathering.

I'm taking cover gettin' out of this place
Trying to distance oneself from this dangerous and destructive situation.

You're bearing down you're like a locomotive
This person's energy is coming at full force like a powerful train engine.

You're bearing down you're like a cannonball
Their energy is unstoppable and explosive like a cannonball.

and though my head is telling me I should run now my heart has got me planted where I stand
Despite knowing the danger and wanting to flee, a strong emotional attraction is making it difficult to leave.

Cuz when it came down to you I I never could fight the feeling to want you
This person is so irresistible, despite the harm they cause, that resistance is impossible.

Oo you're an atom bomb Falling to earth to destroy us all Set off the night, set it on fire
Comparing this person to a bomb causing widespread destruction, and setting the night ablaze with their chaotic energy.

I came out to catch you Baby you just refuse To understand that we are bound we use The light of the sun, sound the alarm Baby react
One person is trying to save the other from the destructive path they're on, but the other is refusing to see the harm they cause and how they are connected.

She hit the floor we had to brace for the fallout We had stop, we had to rock, and roll And then a voice in the commotion it called out Run for your life before we're bout to lose all control
Things have escalated to a point where people are trying to brace themselves for impact and avoid the fallout, with a voice ringing out to flee from the situation altogether.

I think this girls about to radiate Bout to explode about to deviate clear out the room it's time to (e)vacuate This girl is looking to annihilate
This person is reaching a breaking point and is about to self-destruct, causing severe damage to those around them.

Come on react to me I know you feel it burnin' I know how you love a thrill Come out and dance
Trying to incite a reaction from the other person and get them to join in the destructive behavior.

OHH you're an atom bomb Falling to earth to destroy us all Set off the night set it on fire I see you, come and dance Baby you just refuse To understand that we are bound we use The light of the sun, sound the alarm Come on baby react! OH!
Repeating the comparison of the person's energy to a bomb set to destroy everything, repeating the theme of attraction despite the harm they cause, and urging the other person to react and join in the destructive behavior.
