Cripes, just listen to that desperation mixed with a wild joie de vivre. That doesn't come out of nothing. They'll be able to hear that a massive eruption once rocked the world and scattered pain and passion in it's wake.

About This Quote

The quote above is a classic example of a lyric from a rock song. It is a line from Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," which was released in 1971. Most people know that this song was written about a volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1883. In this case, the expression "cripes" is an expression of surprise. The idea is that there must have been some significant event that caused the eruption, and if people were still alive after the eruption, then they would be surprised to hear that there had even been an eruption at all.
