Description
This song is about that desolation you feel after the end of something substantial - a relationship, a job, an era... - and that one beautiful thing that draws you back and reminds you that there is a reason to go on.
Lyrics
After the bomb As I recall I don’t remember much There were fires burning everywhere Fires burning everywhere I couldn’t put them out And honestly I don’t know if I would When the ashes Started falling Blocking out the sun Amid the smoking ruin Of our once so pretty city A fallout flower Growing in the rubble and the dust. Beautiful fallout flower Saved my life When I couldn’t imagine tomorrow A beautiful fallout flower Saved my life After the bomb As I recall It could have gone quite differently I can’t believe what might have been If I hadn’t, in my hour of grief, Stopped to smell the roses And found a piece of Heaven in the thorns Beautiful fallout flower Saved my life When I couldn’t imagine tomorrow A beautiful fallout flower Saved my life When all the world is heating up around us And Gemini was just the first to fall When Don Quixote’s tilting at his windmills And carbon plays the villain to us all The Prophet’s on a wander The Nazarene has died Descendants of Apostles make a play to kill the Bride The Returning King is late and Descending into hate and And there between the battle lines A tiny blossom grows It was after the bomb As I recall Beautiful fallout flower Saved my life When I couldn’t imagine tomorrow A beautiful fallout flower Saved my life Saved my life Saved my life
