Nagasaki
Tzimis Panousis Mousikes Taxiarhies Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Nagasaki" by Tzimis Panousis Mousikes Taxiarhies. The song speaks about the remnants and consequences of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki during World War II. The first verse mentions "sunsets in the underworld" and "snipers with uniforms," which can be interpreted as the destruction and chaos caused by war. The reference to "cart-postcards" and "video tapes with Dalara" suggests the relics and reminders of the past that are left behind, such as images and recordings that capture the devastation.

The second verse describes a sense of fear and persecution, as the singer feels hunted like mice and tormented by nightmares. The birds and cicadas are gone, replaced by radioactive rocks, reflecting the aftermath of the atomic bombing. The following lines talk about people being buried together with atomic heads, referring to the victims of the bombing and the nuclear warheads. The mention of "Pershing and Cruise" refers to the Pershing II and Tomahawk Cruise missiles, which were part of the Cold War arsenal.

The last line of the song suggests that the singer's roommate still enjoys socialist missiles, indicating a dark sense of humor that finds amusement in the destructive power of weapons. The term "nagasaki" is used metaphorically to represent any street or alley where similar destruction can occur.
