Discover the story of the song > Lightning Man – Nitzer Ebb

The song talks about a story that doesn't make sense and a song that doesn't sing. The protagonist spells out A, B, and C and talks about how he went from nothing to something and from no one to someone. He emphasizes the importance of never letting oneself down and being careful out in the world as others may try to bring you down, but the only way out is to keep moving forward. The last part of the song mentions a lightning man who people are waiting for, and the protagonist repeats the phrase "Easy You shove it back where it came" several times.
