Lyrics
Flash, flash, television
Intense, quick imagery on television
Give me your new religion
Request for a new belief system
Fast, fast laser beams
Rapid laser beams, futuristic elements
Dreams of robotic screens
Desiring a life filled with technology
Dance, dance while you can
Encouragement to dance before opportunities vanish
This is your last chance
A reminder that time is running out
Bang, bang, shoot 'em up
Violent, action-oriented language suggesting intensity
This is love 2012
Labeling the experience as "Love 2012"
I'll be the one who takes all the blame
Willingness to take responsibility in a relationship
Going down, down in flames
Acceptance of a downfall or failure
You'll be the one who forgets my name
Anticipation of being forgotten by someone
Play me, playing that game
Engaging in a relationship dynamic, perhaps a game
This is me, I love myself
Expression of self-love and independence
Yeah, fuck everyone else
Rejecting others in favor of self-love
I don't need nobody's help
Asserting independence, not seeking help
'Cause this is love 2012
Reiterating the experience as "Love 2012"
Up, up on the screen
Being prominently featured in the media
I got a new disease
Metaphorical reference to a new societal issue
Cha-ching for your soul
Monetary gain at the expense of one's soul
Everything must go
Emphasizing the transitory nature of everything
Kiss, kiss on the lips
Symbolic kiss of doom
Of the apocalypse
Reference to a catastrophic event
Ring, ring, burn the cell
Symbolic act of cutting off communication
This is love 2012
Reiteration that the experience is "Love 2012"
Don't run away from what you did
Encouragement to face the consequences
I know, know what you said
Acknowledging the truth of someone's words
I've been living with the mess we made
Living with the aftermath of shared mistakes
Get out, out of this maze
Seeking an exit from a confusing situation
This is me, I love myself (myself)
Reaffirmation of self-love
Yeah, fuck everyone else
Emphasizing independence and disregard for others
I don't need nobody's help
Self-sufficiency without needing assistance
'Cause this is love 2012
Confirmation of the experience as "Love 2012"
This is the dawning of personal belonging
Beginning of a personal journey with alarms and music
With sirens and violins
Suggestive of chaos and intensity
The sky above is fallin'
Imagery of a collapsing world
This is the eve of I don't believe
Introduction to a time of disbelief and skepticism
That's all we got in common
Finding common ground in skepticism
The sky above is fallin'
Reiteration of a world in turmoil
This is the dawning of personal belonging
Continuation of a personal journey with intensity
With sirens and violins
Reiteration of chaos with sirens and music
The sky above is fallin'
Repeating the image of a falling sky
This is the eve of I don't believe
Continuation of disbelief and skepticism
That's all we got in common
Finding commonality in skepticism
The sky above is fallin'
Reiteration of a world in turmoil
