Timebomb
Timebomb Unleashed: Exploring Life's Explosive Moments
Lyrics
It all went up I knew it would
Anticipation of a significant event or change.
The beach was black my house on fire
Imagery of destruction, chaos, and personal loss.
I would not miss it anyway
Indifference or detachment towards the impending event.
You'd wired it up like a timebomb
Comparison of the situation to a time bomb, suggesting danger.
Wired it up like a timebomb
Reiteration of the imminent danger, emphasizing the urgency.
So I got up and packaged flat
Decision to leave, possibly in response to the threat.
Left all the precious things to burn
Abandoning personal belongings to escape the danger.
They did not mean a thing to me
Emphasizing the lack of sentimental value in the possessions left behind.
You'd wired it up like a timebomb
Reiteration of the danger being set up like a time bomb.
Wired it up like a timebomb
Re-emphasizing the imminent threat and urgency.
In twenty years of afternoons
Reflection on a long period marked by routine or monotony.
An overdose of everyday
An excess of ordinary, mundane experiences.
She left in haste for something else
Someone leaving quickly for a different purpose or destination.
All wired up like a timebomb
Reiteration of the danger being set up like a time bomb.
All wired up like a timebomb
Stressing the urgency and gravity of the situation.
Would have cut it anyway
Expressing a willingness to sever ties or make a significant change.
But now's as good as any time
Any moment is suitable for making a change or taking action.
The finest thread that ever held
Reference to a fragile connection that is now under threat.
All wired up like a timebomb
Reiteration of the danger being set up like a time bomb.
All wired up like a timebomb
Re-emphasizing the imminent threat and urgency.
Our lives are wired
Comparing lives to being intricately connected or programmed.
Like our gardenias
Likening the wiring of lives to the fragility of gardenias.
Our lives are wired
Repetition of the idea that lives are intricately wired.
Our lives are wired
Repetition emphasizing the wired nature of lives.
Like our gardenias
Comparison of lives to the delicate nature of gardenias.
When all the rest of it was gone
Reflecting on the aftermath of a significant loss or change.
And I was left and scared to death
The emotional impact of being left alone in a changed circumstance.
But would not wish another way
Acceptance of the chosen path despite the challenges.
All wired up like a timebomb
Reiteration of the danger being set up like a time bomb.
All wired up like a timebomb
Re-emphasizing the imminent threat and urgency.
