Bombs Away
Navigating Existential Turbulence: Bony Macaroni's 'Bombs Away' Insight
Lyrics
It's not hard learn to love the bomb when it ain't right above your head
It's challenging to accept the presence of danger (the bomb) when it's not directly threatening.
Hear a cartoon falling noise increasing in pitch, shadow's getting bigger like everywhere
Perceiving imminent danger with escalating tension, likened to a cartoonish, dramatic situation where the threat looms larger.
There's a big red X right in front me and I think I could make it out and the sirens say "you'll end up in a ditch if you don't get the hell out of there and make mommy proud"
Feeling confronted with a clear warning sign (the big red X), indicating impending danger or consequences if one doesn't heed the alarm (sirens) and leave to make a positive impression.
So, the hell out of there and make mommy proud
Reiteration of the urgency to leave the threatening situation and gain approval or pride from a parental figure.
And it said "bombs away" before I begged for it to work me to the bone
A phrase ("bombs away") indicating an impending dangerous situation, while the individual feels compelled to work excessively hard despite begging not to.
And, whatever is left of me can't not look at my phone and satisfy a craving for deeper understanding
Even after significant personal loss, the remnants (whatever is left) cannot resist the urge to seek distraction (checking the phone) to fulfill a longing for deeper comprehension.
Why do I feel so alone?
Questioning the reason for feeling isolated and disconnected from others.
Sometimes I wish I was in the dark
Expressing a desire to remain ignorant or oblivious to the truth or reality (being in the dark).
I could've bought in to the lie
Regretting not succumbing to a false belief or illusion that could have led to material success.
Made it in some miraculous turn of events, earned 6 figures and died
Reflecting on a missed opportunity for extraordinary success and wealth followed by an untimely death.
I could've given you all that you're missing now
An acknowledgment of not providing everything that someone currently lacks.
I wouldn't let the world decide whether you truly deserve happiness
Refusing to let external judgment determine someone's entitlement to happiness.
Whether things are gonna be alright
Questioning the certainty of a positive outcome or if things will eventually improve.
So, get the hell outta there and make mommy proud
Reiterating the urgency to leave and make a parental figure proud.
And it said "bombs away" before I begged for it to work me to the bone
Similar to earlier, a phrase ("bombs away") indicating impending danger, despite pleading not to be overworked.
And, whatever is left of me can't not look at my phone and satisfy a craving for deeper understanding
Even with only remnants of oneself remaining, the persistent urge to seek deeper understanding through distractions like a phone persists.
Why do I feel so alone?
Questioning the cause of feeling isolated and disconnected.
It's been 12 years since I first saw my father cry in the absence of a clear-cut explanation or a reason why
Reflecting on a past memory involving the father's emotional vulnerability without a clear explanation or justification.
Like some fucking force of nature, a certain recalibration of all things expendable
Comparing an event to an uncontrollable force that reshapes priorities and perceptions of what is dispensable.
