THE NUKE
Echoes of Lost Heroes: A Journey Through Chaos
Lyrics
As I rest my head on the mountainside
Reflecting on a mountainside, finding a moment of peace
With no warning
No prior indication or alert
Yeah yeah
Expressing affirmation or agreement
The bomb fell it really did
A literal or metaphorical bomb has fallen
Say the world was burning
Describing a world in chaos or crisis
Yeah Yeah
Reiterating acknowledgment of chaos or crisis
As I rest my head on the ocean bed
Finding solace or contemplation on the ocean floor
I feel the tide turning
Sensing a shift or change in circumstances
Yeah yeah
Repeating affirmation or agreement
A flower blooms in a really dark room
A metaphorical flower thrives in adversity
A flower blooms in a really dark room
Reiteration of the resilience of the metaphorical flower
You were my hero and my best friend
Acknowledging someone as both a hero and a close friend
Yeah yeah
Repeating affirmation or agreement
We used to be one and the same
Former unity or closeness between two individuals
Yeah yeah
Reiterating the past connection
But now my hero's gone and left me here
The departure of the hero, leaving the speaker alone
To play this wicked game
Facing challenges or difficulties alone
As I lay my head on the mountainside
Returning to the mountainside, perhaps a place of contemplation
I read the paper today
Gaining insight from current events through reading the newspaper
Am I living in a western world
Questioning the cultural context of one's existence
Cause my idle mind would drift away
Mind wandering into thoughts of luxury and distraction
I'd idolize about the fancy clothes and
Idolizing materialistic aspirations
the flashing lights but
Recognizing the allure of fame and attention
Never work a single day
Rejecting conventional work and responsibilities
In my fucking life
Expressing frustration with life experiences
My fucking life
Repeating frustration for emphasis
Yeah fucking right it's my fucking life
Asserting ownership and control over one's life
Yeah
Reiterating a claim about personal autonomy
