If the Skrillex worship of this album wasn’t obvious to everyone by this point, hopefully “Lightning Bolt” reveals this in spades. It interpolates elements of Skrillex’s “Rock n' Roll” and “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.” I thought it was appropriate to quote the final line of “Scary Monsters” in...
[Intro]
(You're all that remains, finish the mission)
[Verse 1]
Lightning in the sky, could it be a sign?
Devil on her knees, reach for the divine
Nonbeliever on the palace steps
I'll do anything, lay me to my rest
[Build]
(Rank up!)
(Sergeant of the master sergeants most important person of extreme sergeants to the max!)
(I-I-It's another one!)
[Drop]
(Piece of—)
(Piece of shit!)
(Piece of—)
[Refrain]
(The music never stops, no!)
Poltergeist
I'm a coward too
You don't need to hide my friend
For I am just like you
[Verse 2]
Well, lightning strikes when you least expect
Cinders burn another aspect
As the renegade heeds penance
The dormant self cries out
[Bridge]
Save me from myself, can't see the end
Idol is a bitch, in me; no friend
That shooting star was missed, as I looked back
Falling from disgrace in the attack
[Build]
(Rank up!)
(I-I-It's another one!)
[Drop]
(Piece of shit!)
