[Favorite Song Lyrics: song “Detonation” with perfect lyrics for karaoke]

[Verse 1]

Great God, I don't believe in you
But still I will do what you want me to
Stand up and fight in the city streets
This much I know you expect of me

[Chorus 1]

And the ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth
And the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

[Verse 2]

Pale God, I had a dream of you
And how you respond when your ego's bruised
They laugh and sneer 'cause they know you're weak
But I'll make them pay with an IED

[Chorus 2]

And the ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth
And the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

[Verse 3]

Whining God, who the fuck are you?
Detonation for the greater good
Swim here, come and hear my heart
'Cause when the world breaks
You will feel the blast

FAQ & Knowledge Song “Detonation”

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    Q: “Detonation” is a song about fundamentalist terrorism, right?

    Yes, it was inspired by the Summer 2016 Florida gay club massacre. The guy who perpetrated the mass shooting shouted ‘Allahu Akbar,’ an allegiance to his God, but it seemed almost tokenism, like he was just wearing a badge to justify his own hatred and prejudice. That first line in ‘Detonation’, ‘Great god I don’t believe in you, but still I will do what you want me to,’ is about how someone can pledge allegiance to something they don’t even believe in to legitimise their actions. I believe that some people are now turning to religion as a way to disguise their own self-loathing and mental illness.
