Lyrics

Smash it up again, I'll bounce off the wall

Expressing a desire to disrupt or destroy something, with the speaker rebounding energetically.

Shouting, "Enough's enough, this place has to fall"

Voicing frustration, declaring that the current situation must come to an end.

Breaking out again like an animal

Comparing the speaker's actions to that of an untamed creature, breaking free.

At the speed of sound, I run from it all

Describing a swift escape from everything, possibly using speed as a metaphor.


Boiling up on the edge, losing grip

Feeling intense emotions, struggling to maintain control.

What was up is down, welcome to ghost town

Experiencing a topsy-turvy reality, entering a place devoid of life or activity.

So where'd you go when there is no tomorrow?

Pondering where to go in a situation where the future seems uncertain.

Gotta get back to something better

Expressing a determination to return to a more positive or preferable state.

Gotta get back to something better

-

We're taking back tonight, all the dreams we left behind

Declaring the intention to reclaim the current night by retrieving forgotten aspirations.

We're taking back the dawn before the light

Extending the theme of reclaiming lost dreams to include the moments just before daylight.


Here we go again, we'd heard it before

Referencing a familiar cycle, as if the speaker has been through a similar situation before.

Like a shotgun knocks you down to the floor

Comparing an impactful event to a shotgun blast, causing a sudden and forceful impact.

Wind me up again, I'm ready to roll

Expressing readiness to face challenges again, likening the speaker to a destructive force.

I'm a wrecking ball that's out of control

Describing the speaker as an uncontrolled force causing significant damage.


Boiling up on the edge, losing grip

Reiterating the feeling of intense emotions and loss of control on the edge of a situation.

What was up is down, welcome to ghost town

Reaffirming the chaotic state, describing the current environment as a ghost town.

So where'd you go when there is no tomorrow?

Pondering where to go in a situation with an uncertain future, echoing line 8.

Gotta get back to something better

Reiterating the determination to return to a more positive or preferable state.

Gotta get back to something better
