Intermission
Upon a Burning Body Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it down
Line 'em up so they can get knocked down
This room is up in smoke, I'm gonna fucking choke
Welcome to the jungle
The daily ritual has begun
Let's blow the roof off this motherfucker and get loose
Bounce, 'til the break of dawn
The wheel of death has come for everyone
This is a real song about our real lives so put your drinks up cause tonight
Were gonna party like its 1999
This party's done but the next one has just begun
Not drunk is he who from the floor can rise alone and still drink more
Blackout
This is the anthem of our new generation
So let's take it all down
This is our anthem, get down
Here's to you, here's to me
The best of friends well always be
But if we should disagree
To hell with you and here's to me
Take it down
Now were falling, the ground keeps calling
Set 'em up, knock 'em down
The song “Intermission” by Upon a Burning Body is a party anthem that mostly focuses on the wild, raucous and rebellious lifestyle of its target audience. The song starts with the lines “Steady from the ground up, take it down, line 'em up so they can get knocked down,” which can be interpreted as a reference to drinking alcohol or taking drugs. The line “This room is up in smoke, I'm gonna fucking choke,” could also be interpreted as being in a smoke-filled room or a reference to the lifestyle of the party-goers.
The line “Welcome to the jungle, the daily ritual has begun” is a nod to the chaotic nature of life, and how everyone is doing the same things every day. The vocalist encourages the audience to “blow the roof off this motherfucker and get loose” and to party until the break of dawn. The song is primarily focused on the wild lifestyle, but the line “This is a real song about our real lives, so put your drinks up because tonight / Were gonna party like it’s 1999” seems to indicate that it’s all about living life to the fullest and enjoying the present moment.
The overall message of the song is that life is fleeting and should be enjoyed, but it also has some underlying nihilism to it. The line “Blackout, this is the anthem of our new generation” appears to suggest that the generation that the song is targeted towards is characterized by binge-drinking and partying. The song seems to be a celebration of excess and wild living.

Steady from the ground up
We have a strong foundation to build upon
Take it down
Let's break it down
Line 'em up so they can get knocked down
We're putting everything in place for destruction
This room is up in smoke, I'm gonna fucking choke
The atmosphere is suffocating and overwhelming
Welcome to the jungle
We're in for a wild ride
The daily ritual has begun
Our regular routine has started
Let's blow the roof off this motherfucker and get loose
Let's break free and have a wild time
Bounce, 'til the break of dawn
Keep dancing all night long
We will be going strong
We'll keep the party alive
The wheel of death has come for everyone
Destruction and chaos is inevitable for all
This is a real song about our real lives so put your drinks up cause tonight
This is an authentic representation of our lifestyle, cheers to that
Were gonna party like its 1999
We're going to party like there's no tomorrow
This party's done but the next one has just begun
The current event is over but there's more to come
Not drunk is he who from the floor can rise alone and still drink more
The measure of sobriety is not being able to stand but being able to continue drinking
Blackout
We will drink until we can no longer remember
This is the anthem of our new generation
This song represents the values and lifestyle of our youth
So let's take it all down
Let's break it all apart
This is our anthem, get down
This is our rallying cry, let's party
Here's to you, here's to me
Cheers to us
The best of friends well always be
We will always have each other's backs
But if we should disagree
If we have conflicting opinions
To hell with you and here's to me
I don't care about your opinion, I'll drink to myself
Now were falling, the ground keeps calling
We're losing control and heading towards destruction
Set 'em up, knock 'em down
We'll keep putting things in place just to tear them apart
