- Nuclear Lyrics

Standing on the edge of the crater
Like the prophets once said
and the ashes are all cold now
No more bullets and the embers are dead
Whispers in the air tell the tales
Of the brothers gone
Desolation, devastation
What a miss we made, when it all went wrong

Watching from the edge of the circus
For the games to begin
Gladiators draw their swords
form their ranks for armageddon

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child
Standing on the edge of the underworld
Looking at the abyss
and I'm hoping for some miracle
To breakout to escape from all this
Whispers in the air tell the tales
of a life that's gone
Desolation, devastation
What a mess we made, when it all went wrong

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child

I'm nuclear
I'm wild
I'm breaking up inside
A heart of broken glass
Defiled
Deep inside
The abandoning child

The words express inner suffering and vulnerability through the iteration of the phrases, 'I'm nuclear, I'm wild' which portray a sense of disorder and rejection in the person. The lyrics of Nuclear mainly point out the negative emotions of angst, heartbreak, despair, reflection, and anger. Moreover, the song highlights both desolation and devastation on the one hand, and on the other, inner turmoil and conflict, loss and longing for escape. The lyrics discuss the issues of desolation, devastation, and emotional turmoil, which are possibly not appropriate for kids below 13 years.
