Napalm Lyrics

Bury me under this.
It's a stable doom.
50 strings carry me
to the smallest room.

Napalm flies through these lungs.
I will watch the flame.
We collapsed.
We stepped in all my traps and forgot the aim.

How do I get back to never changing you?
How do we get back what we set out to do?
Breaking through.

Bury me under this.
It's a stable doom.
See me burn, self-concern.
I will not resume.
Dark veneer what comfort brought you here?
Are you glad you came?
We collapsed.
We stepped in all my traps and forgot the aim.

These traces are islands dreaming in silence.

Cover art for Napalm lyrics by Vola

First let's define 'Napalm' which is a chemical compound - an incendiary mixture of a gelling agent plus a volatile petrochemical - & its use in warfare has a long history. The effect was not always purely physical as napalm had psychological effects on the enemy as well. I think this song thematically describes failed relationships, on a societal scale — the friction between leaders and followers, which is caused by the misuse of power.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Napalm lyrics by Vola

It seems to me that this song is about self destructive tendencies in relationships, romantic or otherwise. Trying to pigeonhole people into what you want them to be, and reacting violently when it doesn\'t fit into what you wanted.\n\nThe line "Napalm flies through these lungs" implies some sort of incindiary statement or comment, while "I will watch the flame" implies the subject is watching the relationship go up in flames after saying whatever it was they said.\n\nIt\'s a beautiful song about ugly relationships.
