Bomb to Drop Lyrics

Dreams of the dark embracing me
These thoughts I can't control
Searching for light to set me free
From my troubled soul
Good against evil battles in my mind
The fighting never stops
Man, I've struggled with temptation and sin
In my darkest thoughts

When will this nightmare ever stop
I'm waiting for the bomb to drop...

I walked through the valley of the shadow of death
How did I survive
I stood at the flaming gates again
As the flames grew higher
What have I done to deserve this fate
What have I become
Though dark have been my dreams of late
I just need to be strong

I'm going down, its my last shot
I'm waiting for the bomb to drop...

I'm on my knees and I'm praying for these dreams to cease
I'm screaming at the sky to open up my eyes!

I'm in too deep and I'm headed for eternal sleep
I'm screaming at the sky, I'm running out of time

For the bomb to drop
I'm waiting...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The track explores the constant neverending inner battle between good and evil, temptation, and the struggle to find redemption, and focuses on a protagonist dealing with constant turmoil and who's searching for salvation. They're consumed by dark thoughts, feel trapped by their own mind, and are longing for a glimmer of light to guide them away from their troubles. They are waiting for a "bomb to drop," which signifies a drastic change and possible release from their inner torment.
