London Thunder Lyrics

I'm on the red-eye flight to nowhere good
How about you?
I've been in the air for hours
Meteor showers by the pool
So one last drink for summer
Always leaving never you

Come back to London thunder
The sound of sorrow in my room, yeah

And now the tables turn, it's over
And with my fingers burned I start anew
And now I've come back down, I'm older
I look for something else to hold on to

There is no way to realign
Upholster skin I take back every line
Lost my mind in San Francisco
The worn out disco when tempers cooled
There is no water, there is no sound
Will you come around? Will you come around?
There is no space, there is no time
Where'd you draw the line?

And now the tables turn, it's over
And with my fingers burned I start a new
And now I've come back down, I'm older
I look for something else to hold on to

I'm on the red-eye flight to nowhere good
How about you?

What is the Meaning of London Thunder?

This poignant track seems to be a heartfelt narrative of self-reflection, regret, and the search for new beginnings. The narrator appears to be in a state of emotional turmoil, perhaps due to a failed relationship or personal failure. The references to London thunder and meteor showers suggest the presence of external forces that have caused upheaval in his life. The recurring theme of flight signifies an attempt to escape from the current situation, but with the realization that there's no real escape from one's past or feelings. The line "And now I've come back down, I'm older" indicates growth and maturity gained through these experiences. Ultimately, this song is about learning from our mistakes and finding something else to hold onto after a setback.
