Hypersonic Missiles
Hypersonic Missiles: Unveiling a World on the Brink
Lyrics
Dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot
Dutch kids inhaling nitrous oxide balloons in the parking lot.
The Golden Arches illuminate the business park
The bright lights of the McDonald's symbolize consumerism in the business park.
I eat myself to death, feed the corporate machine
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors to contribute to the corporate machine.
I watch the movies, recite every line and scene
Escaping reality by obsessively watching movies and memorizing their lines and scenes.
God bless America and all of its allies
An ironic invocation of God's blessing on America and its allies.
I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes
A realization of being naive and not the first to be deceived.
I am so blissfully unaware of everything
The narrator is blissfully ignorant and detached from global issues.
Kids in Gaza are bombed and I'm just out of it
A contrast between the narrator's obliviousness and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The tensions of the world are rising higher
A recognition of increasing global tensions.
We're probably due another war with all this ire
An expectation of another war due to growing anger.
I'm not smart enough to change a thing
The narrator feels incapable of making a positive change.
I have no answers, only questions, don't you ask a thing
Expressing uncertainty and a lack of answers to life's questions.
All the silver tongued suits and cartoons that rule my world
Critique of influential figures and media shaping the narrator's worldview.
Are saying it's a high time for hypersonic missiles
Reference to the promotion of hypersonic missiles as a solution to problems.
When the bombs drop darlin' can you say that you've lived your life
Questioning the meaningfulness of one's life when facing imminent danger.
Oh, this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
Reiteration of the promotion of hypersonic missiles as a solution.
Cities lie like tumors all across the world
Cities compared to tumors, symbolizing the destructive nature of urbanization.
A cancer eating mankind hidden in our blindside
A metaphor for societal problems hidden from public awareness.
They say I'm a nihilist
The narrator is labeled a nihilist for not seeing a clear purpose in life.
'Cause I can't see any decent rhyme or reason
Expressing a lack of understanding for the challenges faced by humanity.
For the life of you and me
There seems to be no apparent reason for the struggles of life.
But I believe in what I'm feeling
The narrator believes in their emotions and feelings despite the lack of understanding.
And I'm firing for you
The narrator is committed to a person despite the world's impending end.
This world is gonna end
Recognizing the eventual demise of the world.
But 'til then, I'll give you everything I have
Promising to give everything to a loved one until the world ends.
I'll give you everything I have
A repetition emphasizing the commitment to giving everything.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Repeating the urgency and high time for hypersonic missiles, possibly as a satirical commentary.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (come on)
-All the silver tongued suits and cartoons that rule my world
Reiteration of the influence of media promoting hypersonic missiles and questioning life's purpose.
Are saying it's a high time for hypersonic missiles
-When the bombs drop darlin' can you say that you've lived your life
-Oh, this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
-They all do the same, only their names change honey
Highlighting the commonality among influential individuals, suggesting elitism.
You can join their club if you're born in to money
Joining an exclusive club is easier for those born into wealth.
It's a high time for hypersonic missiles
Emphasizing the proclaimed high time for hypersonic missiles and the critical state of the world.
You know this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
-You know this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
-Oh, this is a high time for hypersonic missiles
Final confirmation of the urgent need for hypersonic missiles.
