Be Brave
Embrace the Apocalypse: Shotgun Tori's Call to Defy Conventions
Lyrics
You made your bed, you lie in it
You are responsible for the consequences of your actions.
That's what we're told
Society often emphasizes facing the consequences of one's choices.
But if the end of the world is coming
The possibility of an imminent apocalypse is considered.
This weekend
The end of the world is humorously suggested to be approaching soon.
There's no getting old
With impending doom, the concept of aging becomes irrelevant.
There's rules, you see
Societal rules and laws are acknowledged.
And laws we're taught, we must obey
Emphasis on the importance of following societal rules.
But if the end of the world is coming sometime today
If the world is ending, breaking rules becomes a consideration.
I'm not gonna behave
Defiance against expected behavior in the face of an imminent end.
Throw caution to the wind
Encouragement to take risks and face challenges boldly.
Be brave
Expressing the need to be brave in the limited time available.
There's no time now to be saved
There's no opportunity left for salvation; urgency is stressed.
It's too late
Repentance is too late; the time for regret has passed.
To repent
Emphasis on not worrying about obligations like paying rent.
Don't bother with the rent
Humorous reference to unconventional activities like threesomes.
There's threesomes to arrange
Last-minute decisions and chaos over minor issues.
Last minute
Suggesting starting a fight over a small amount of money.
I think I'll start a bar fight
Over short change
Acceptance of the impending doom, leading to reckless actions.
Hey, hey, hey looks like we're gonna die tomorrow anyway
Acknowledging the imminent end, suggesting a disregard for consequences.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey tonight I think I'm gonna throw my name
Considering reckless behavior as there is no future to worry about.
Now there's nowhere left to run
No escape is possible; authority figures are restricting freedom.
'Cause the fun police have come
The "fun police" represent those who enforce societal norms.
To lock up everyone
Predicting widespread imprisonment due to non-conformity.
And no saviour has come
No external savior will rescue from the impending doom.
Throw caution to the wind
Reiteration of the need to face challenges boldly and take risks.
Be brave
Emphasizing the urgency; no time left for caution.
There's no time now to be saved
Salvation is no longer an option; the opportunity has passed.
It's too late
Repentance is futile; the time for regret has elapsed.
To repent
Disregarding mundane responsibilities like paying rent.
Don't bother with the rent
There's so much still to do
Highlighting the remaining tasks and desires before the end.
Last minute I'll be like Desmond & the Tutus
Reference to the band "Desmond & the Tutus" and impulsive decisions.
And get a tattoo
Expressing a desire to get a tattoo in the final moments.
I'm gonna get a tattoo
Reiteration of the intention to get a tattoo.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey tonight I think I'm gonna throw my name
Considering reckless behavior as there is no future to worry about.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey looks like we've gonna die tomorrow anyway
Repeating the acknowledgment of imminent doom and carefree behavior.
