Bang!
AJR AJR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
So I got an apartment across from the park
Put quinoa in my fridge, still I'm not feelin' grown
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due
Do my password begin with a one or a two?
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Metronome)
Man, I'm up to something (up to something), ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
Thank you all for comin' (all for coming), I hope you like the show
'Cause it's on a budget, so ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
Yeah, come on here we go, yeah, come on (here we go)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!)
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Here we go)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang (come hang)
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Here we go)
(Bang! Bang!)
The song "Bang!" by AJR is about the desire to change and grow as a person, even if it means leaving behind old habits and comfort zones. The lines "Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to grow" and "I'm way too young to lie here forever, I'm way too old to try, so whatever" suggest a feeling of stagnation and a need to move forward. The singer of the song wants to make a statement and go out with a bang, hence the title.
The song also touches on the idea of presentation and how people mask their true selves in social situations. The lines "Put your best face on, everybody, pretend you know this song, everybody" suggest a lack of authenticity and a need to conform to social norms. The use of the metronome in the background and the repetition of the word "Bang" create a sense of urgency and a need for action.
Interestingly, the song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with the more introspective lyrics, creating a bittersweet tone. The use of unconventional instruments such as a toy piano and a washing machine also adds to the song's quirky vibe. Overall, "Bang!" is a thought-provoking and fun song that encourages listeners to embrace change and be true to themselves.
