Cover art for The Bomb lyrics by New Young Pony Club

here's how i see it: ("Atoll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An atoll is an island of coral that encircles a lagoon partially or completely.") peppermint girls may be refreshing, but the songwriter cautions against "test[ing] the moment" -risking wasting the connection- "when you break [out into] the sun[light]" -are touched by nutritional substance in someone to nourish one rather than make one smell as though he never needed any-.. . have you ever known someone epicly interesting who nonetheless treated people as expendable? that demonstrates profound unfulfilledness. making it onto someone's shore could save the person's heart, if he allowed it to... he has a beautifully skilled brain going to spiritual relational waste at the hands of a heart lacking the perspective to weild it otherwise, at the end of the day. the chick is laughing at him because she has come to see through him[uncertain gender, but 'him' is still grammatically correct].. - has come to see that he supposedly unpretensiously makes "love and peace" only because his attachment issues prevent him from braving their endangerment.. that it is not heroicly but helplessly- ironicly desperately, because he is most likely too cowardly to discover any better. in short, she feels sorry for the aloof womaniser, and is happy to have learned from knowing him and, having moved on to greener pasteurs, is not ashamed to embrace what she learned from being with him before she learned from losing or leaving him. (you really have to display information to discover relativity.) <3, lilian. :) p.s.~ i relate. ^_^
