![]() The whole album is about WWII, so I think it's about the detonation of the atomic bomb in Japan and the moments right after. This is obviously about more than just a relationship. So I can't really make sense of this song by itself, but this is a concept album so it is meant to be critiqued and understood as an overall album, not song by song. it just seems like a sexual struggle ending with a black eye, but I thought "Blackout" itself had something more to do with the detonation of the atomic bombs. But Shinoda's line "Floating out as colors fill the light, we look up from the ground in fields of paper white, floating up you pass us in the night, the future gazing out a past to overwrite." directly seems to be describing the bombers passing by, as a nuclear explosion lights up the "fields of paper white." The part "No you'll never get it inside, you push it back down, blackout, blood in your eye" is something I can't really relate to the rest of the song. The lyrics in "Burning In The Skies" and just the title of "Fallout" also seem to carry meaning about the nukes and Japan.
