Na Ah

Blood Red Sun's song 'Na Ah' explores themes of defiance, detachment, and self-preservation. The lyrics convey a sense of moving at an incredible pace, 'faster than the speed of light,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the rapid changes and overwhelming experiences in life. The mention of 'snare drum pass' and 'wicked sins' suggests a chaotic and possibly morally ambiguous journey. Despite this, the repeated assertion that 'we don't look too guilty' and 'we don't crave too much' indicates a deliberate choice to remain unaffected and unburdened by these experiences.

The chorus, with its repeated 'ooh, you're calling, ooh-ooh, but I'm not gonna save you (nah ah),' emphasizes a strong stance of emotional detachment. The narrator refuses to engage with or rescue someone who is reaching out, highlighting a boundary that has been set. This refusal to 'talk to you' or 'feel you' underscores a desire to maintain distance and protect oneself from potential emotional harm. The use of 'nah ah' as a refrain reinforces this rejection and the determination to stay detached.

The song also touches on broader existential themes, as seen in the lines 'Planetarium wisdom, teach us 'bout life, blood streams, DNA and genders, there must be much more to this ride.' Here, the lyrics suggest a search for deeper meaning and understanding beyond the superficial aspects of existence. However, the repeated refrain of not feeling guilty or craving too much implies a resistance to getting too deeply involved or affected by these larger questions. The final lines, 'there's no need for screaming, 'cause you're not us, you're out of touch,' further emphasize a sense of separation and self-preservation, suggesting that the narrator and their group are distinct and self-contained, unwilling to be drawn into the chaos or needs of others.
