Lyrics

You've got clueless commentators

You have commentators who lack understanding.

Telling folks to stay inside

These commentators advise people to stay indoors.

You've got light investigators

There are investigators seeking truth and illumination.

Pulling shades and terrified

They are scared and closing themselves off from the world.

You've got powers of the darkness

Forces of evil are spreading darkness to obscure truth.

Blowing smoke to dim the skies

They're using deception to cloud reality.

Your psychics look a little anxious

Psychics or those claiming supernatural insight seem uneasy.

Anybody out there wonder why?

There's a question posed about whether anyone questions this state of affairs.


I've got a bottle rocket

The singer emphasizes having something powerful akin to a 'bottle rocket' multiple times.

I've got a bottle rocket

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

Got a little light to testify

They have a small but impactful light to bear witness or speak the truth.

No power's gonna block it

No force can hinder its expression.

No darkness gonna stop it

Darkness cannot obstruct its impact.

I've got a bottle rocket

Reiterating the possession of this impactful 'bottle rocket.'

Gonna let it fly

Expressing the intent to release it, to let it be seen.

Let it fly

Reiteration of the intention to let the 'rocket' fly.


You've got experts on retainer

There are paid experts preparing for anticipated threats.

Bracing for the next attack

People connected and aiding in reducing visibility, possibly metaphorical.

You've got allies dimming lights

From influential figures in entertainment to medical professionals.

From Hollywood to Doctor Jack

There's an intentional suppression of positive news.

You enact a Good News blackout

Belief that they are winning against the opposition.

Think you've got us on the run?

A reference to a biblical book, indicating hope and strength in adversity.

Well read the book of Acts and weep

Declaring the invincibility of Jesus' light against all odds.

The light of Jesus can't be overcome!

Stressing the possession of a potent 'bottle rocket.'


I've got a bottle rocket

Repetition and emphasis on owning and releasing this powerful metaphorical 'bottle rocket.'

I've got a bottle rocket

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

Got a little light to testify

-

No power's gonna block it

-

No darkness gonna stop it

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

Gonna let it fly

-

Let it fly

-

Light

An assertion about the nature of light.

Isn't light

When it's confined or constrained.

When it's found

The state of being contained within a bottle.

Bottle bound

Reiteration of possessing and expressing a potent 'bottle rocket' light, emphasizing its unstoppable nature.

I've got a bottle rocket

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

Got a little light to testify

-

No power's gonna block it

-

No darkness gonna stop it

-

I've got a bottle rocket

-

Gonna let it fly

-

Let it fly

Reiteration of the intent to let this impactful 'rocket' shine.
