Bumbklaatt
Soulfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see what it takes
To be a real man
Talking shit all your life
No integrity or pride
Fucking mind full of lies
You fake
You waste
You bumbklaatt
Now I know why
I turn my back on your life
And watch your envy arise
Now it's been so long
Yeah, you still won't grow up
And you never belong
So fuck you and your friends
I got time for revenge
And you ain't got tomorrow
So fuck you and your friends
Cause they still are the same
And your bullshit remains
The lyrics of Soulfly's Bumbklaatt convey an intense message of frustration and disdain towards someone who is immature and lacking integrity. The opening lines "Grow tha fuck up you waste, can't you see what it takes to be a real man" are direct and confrontational, indicating a deep level of disappointment with the subject's character. More than anything, the song speaks to the experiences of those who have had to deal with the negative implications of being associated with such a person.
The lines "Talking shit all your life, no integrity or pride, fucking mind full of lies" drive home the point that this person's behavior is destructive and has no place in the life of the singer or anyone else. The chorus is a strong indictment of the subject, calling them out as a "fake", a "waste", and a "bumbklaatt". The lyrics seem to be centered around a feeling of betrayal, which is evident in the lines "now I know why I turn my back on your life, and watch your envy arise".
Overall, Bumbklaatt is a compelling song that conveys intense emotions and is widely appreciated for its raw lyrics and intense guitar riffs. It is a reflection of a complicated relationship and the consequences of the actions people take in life.

Curiosidade: Em "Bumbklaat', aos 2:30' , Jimmy Cliff aparece falando muitos palavrões em "ingles-jamaicano(patois) ', extraído do filme 'Balada Sangrenta (The Harder They Come)', de 1972'."
