“The Bomb” is a song about Florence’s commitment to loneliness and instability (see her interview with Radio X). Its placement on the album follows the fairytale storyline of Dance Fever; Florence struggles through the process of wondering whether she wants to stop touring (see “King”), but on this...
The Bomb Lyrics
[Verse]
You said this could have been the best thing
That ever happened to you
So you decided not to do it
Now you come back every summer
Like a carnivorous flower
And I stare at your hands in the heat and I
Think they are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
But if I was free to love you
You wouldn't want me, would you?
Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
[Chorus]
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastatе me
Come herе, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb
Buildings falling is the only thing that turns me on
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate me
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb (Oh, oh, oh)
I let it burn, but it just had to be done (Oh, oh, oh)
And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along?
Sometimes, you get the girl, sometimes, you get the song

What did Florence + the Machine say about "The Bomb"?
Florence Welch:
There’s a lot of nods, I think, to the previous records. All three of them are in this album, which is nice. Because I feel like somehow I’m bridging the gaps between all of them on this record, like all the things I’ve been interested in. This song is nodding to what I was thinking...
