Bombs Away Lyrics

Oh, the pressure builds when we're not flying
A target for all that ails
I've got a way to keep them swimming
A spark that never fails
Bombs away, they never understood

Oh, acres blushing green just waiting
You're gonna take your pill
Gallons and gallons with embers fading
You're gonna get your fill
Bombs away, they never understood

Throw your hands in the wind as the fire begins
When it feels like rain
Are you still the same?
Grass on the hills and a garden of pills
Take the last flight out
Live to burn another day

Nobody knows the fires that I've set
They pay me to put them out
All I needed was a pilot's licence
I still hear them shout
Bombs away, they never understood

Oh, all we really need is to get some land
And find something to build
The rest of it can just burn away
With the cultures that we've killed
Bombs away, they never understood

Throw your hands in the wind as the fire begins
When it feels like rain
Are you still the same?
Grass on the hills and a garden of pills
Take the last flight out
Live to burn another day

Throw your hands in the wind as the fire begins
When it feels like rain
Are you still the same?
Grass on the hills as the bomber refills
Take the last flight out
Live to burn another day

Bombs away
Bombs away

What is the Meaning of Bombs Away?

When life gives you turbulence, sometimes you just need a pilot’s license and a carefree attitude! Big Wreck's tune captures the essence of looking at life’s chaos and seeing a chance to either douse the flames or stoke them higher. It's a sonic tale about dealing with pressure, whether you're swimming in it or letting it burn in a pyrotechnics display of defiance. With landscapes of blushing acres and pill-filled gardens as metaphoric backdrops, it’s a call to embrace change with nonchalance. “Bombs away” is more than an escape; it’s an anthem for those who thrive on wreaking havoc only to rebuild anew. Fly high, let the world misunderstand, and live to ignite another day!
