Dessa - Bombs Away Lyrics

Dessa Lyrics

"Bombs Away"

Bombs away
On belay
I repel
Heard the call
Of the falls
And I fell
Threw my voice in the noise
Threw myself with the coin
If this thing works
I'll land first
Live to tell

Look what my future's gone and done
Couldn't get the car keys off her
Took the money and run
But time will retrieve me
Wouldn't leave me here in space out of reach
With no signs and no reasons
To hold myself in place
But time can make the future settle
Will stand us back to back
Can melt us back together
Fuse to the future to the past

Bombs away
On belay
I repel
Heard the call
Of the falls
And I fell
Threw my voice in the noise
Threw myself with the coin
If this thing works
I'll land first
Live to tell

I repel

Bombs away
Live to tell

Bombs away
On belay

"Bombs Away" is the second single from Dessa's "IDES", a series of singles that the artist was releasing on the 15th of every month in 2021. She told that this song was about "the feeling of surrender, leaning in and letting go". Dessa also explained in a press release, "As a control enthusiast, uncertainty and ambiguity unsettle me. But this year wasn't designed to cater to our preferences. I recorded the demo for this one in Minneapolis, in the middle of a very hard 2020."

This song features production from Andy Thompson, Lazerbeak, and Dessa. The trumpet section is performed by Cameron Kinghorn.
