Lyrics
Heading for bad weather
Indicates approaching trouble or difficulty
Hard rain is gonna come
Anticipating a challenging or tumultuous situation
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun
Everyone reacts or trembles in response to the threat of violence or danger
You might think you're clever
Suggests someone feeling smart or cunning
This thing will strike you dumb
The impending danger or threat will render one speechless or stunned
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun
Reiteration that everyone reacts or trembles in response to the threat of violence or danger
You can live forever
Suggests the potential for a timeless existence
Just like everyone
Reflection on mortality, emphasizing the universality of death
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun
Everyone reacts or trembles in response to the threat of violence or danger (death)
Bullets flying everywhere
Describes the chaos and danger of bullets flying unpredictably
What they hit they don't care
Emphasizes the indiscriminate nature of bullets, not caring what or whom they hit
A sonic sound is in the air
Highlights the pervasive and intense nature of the threatening noise
This time it's now or never
Emphasizes urgency, implying a critical moment to act
Like a rabbit on the run
Metaphorically compares individuals to hunted animals
We could live together
Suggests the potential for coexistence or unity
The time has got to come
Implies the necessity of change or action
Everybody shakes
Reiterates the idea of everyone reacting or trembling due to the threat of violence or danger
To the sound of a gun
