Boooom !!!!
That tune still hits me hard in the nuts every time I am listening to it.
I know it is sort of uncool to think like that about your own music, but I
don´t care, I love it !
It is my favorite WWF-Song.
I think it has all a good song needs.
Drive, rawness, power, melody and almost nothing repeats, it just rolls on and on, over your head, into your ears, through your brain and when it is over you are stunned, not having the slightest clue what just happened, so you have to press the repeat button and endure again!
Plus we got our lovely friends counting in so heroically.
Facing the speed and energy people put into the world to make it faster and better functioning, like a machine, it seems they, even if they have good intentions, forget to look back, reconsider and slow down sometimes.
If you push a whatever machine to its maximum all the time, you will 100% cause an overload, power failure and blowout sooner or later.
I think the lyrics and the song capture that.
lyrics
Full speed ahead we accelerated too fast
just to come in first where there`s no last
Somewhere along the past way we must have totally went astray
and now we head, head over heels for our own decay
but some sparks inflamed a torch.
Afire ... the light is lit and we can quit to fit into this shit
We got a guiding flame out of your maze
Afire ... hearts revived by its blaze to find the final saving grace to end the...
... human's race against the human race !!!!!
Full speed ahead we accelerated too fast
just to come in first where there`s no last
(Eventually) it's always up to us to get our act together
so let's take just the next turn for the better
