OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM DEATH ROW JAMIE:

"You may have noticed the subtle RATM (Rage Against the Machine) reference in the title here. As my guitar skills severely trump those of Tom Morello's, I wanted to also one up the name of their excellent song, Calm Like a Bomb, by turning a mere bomb into the most destructive weapon humankind has ever witnessed: an atom bomb. This is quite a personal track in which I address not the abnormality, but the harmful trait of blind and overwhelming anger. I liken this emotion with the explosion of an atom bomb, which fucks not only with your own head, but with the heads of all those around you. Rather than a display of power, uncontrollable rage - to those more discerning - is a revelation of weakness."

~ Death Row Jamie, 2020

lyrics

An atom bomb. Giant mushroom cloud obliterates all signs of life above and on the ground.

Monochromatic vision I possess. Eyes accustomed only to red. I am unable to see reason. I am unwilling to seek understanding. I am unashamedly obnoxious regardless. I am unwise in every aspect of life. I am unnecessarily present. I am unhinged like a bomb.

Born of an atom bomb. Calm like an atom bomb. Don't mess with the shit in my head, else you is the is is the dead. Don't mess with the shit in my head. Eyes accustomed only to red. Don't mess with the shit in my god damn mother fucking head, 'cause I am unhinged like a bomb.

You challenge me? You threaten me (like a bomb). You fuck with me (like an atom bomb).

Death Row Jamie is the embodiment of teenage darkness, teenage angst, and teenage frustration. Music is an outlet for these three elements that construct his messy, hate-filled, eerie and at times beautiful mind. (written by Death Row Jamie).
