FallOut
UNSECRET & Neoni Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Hush now
Dry your eyes
Fate is upon us
The changing of times
Welcome
Blood red skies
Burn in wake of
A world left behind
Can't escape the fallout
Feel the fire rain down
See the shadows rising all around
Can't escape the fallout
Fallout

Down to the ashes
Bones are left to dry
Waves of desolation
There's nowhere safe to hide

Can't escape the fallout
Feel the fire rain down
See the shadows rising all around
Can't escape the fallout
Fallout

Can't escape the fallout
Feel the fire rain down
See the shadows rising all around
Can't escape the fallout
Fallout

Can't escape the fallout
Fallout

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to UNSECRET & Neoni's song Fallout paint a dark, post-apocalyptic world full of destruction and despair. The opening lines, "Hush now, Dry your eyes, Fate is upon us, The changing of times," emphasize the inevitability of the devastation that has befallen this world, while the following lines, "Welcome, Blood red skies, Burn in wake of, A world left behind," convey a sense of acceptance of the horrors that have occurred. The chorus repeats the phrase "Can't escape the fallout" over and over, indicating the futility of trying to outrun the consequences of this catastrophic event. The lines "See the shadows rising all around, Down to the ashes, Bones are left to dry" paint a vivid picture of the aftermath of some terrible tragedy, where the survivors are left with nothing but burned out ruins and death.

Overall, the lyrics to Fallout are quite bleak, presenting a world where all hope appears to be lost. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this feeling of helplessness, as the characters in the song are trapped in a never-ending cycle of destruction and despair.
