Bang!
AJR feat. Hayley Kiyoko 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 thinking 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 feeling grown
Been a hell of a ride, but I'm thinking it's time to go
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
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
So this girl's on my block, keep on messin' me up
And I gave her my keys, now I'm changin' my lock
Been a hell of a ride, but I think that it's time to grow
Time to grow, yeah (metronome)
I just want a challenge, but I'm way too stressed
'Cause I've been way off balance, tryna take these meds
To make me feel safe (feel safe), but I'm afraid it may be too late
(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) (go out with a bang)
Bang, bang, bang, (bang, bang-bang-bang-bang, bang)
Been a hell of a ride, but I'm thinking 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 (come hang)
Let's go out with a bang
Bang, 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 lyrics of AJR feat. Hayley Kiyoko's song, “Bang!” are a call to action for the listeners to live in the moment and enjoy life to the fullest. The opening verse describes the artist jumping around and feeling comfortable with the chaos of life. However, he realizes that it is time for him to grow, and he needs to move on to the next phase of his life together with his listeners, who are included in the chorus with the lines, "Let's go out with a bang," repeated several times.
The bridge of the song describes the artist's frustrations and his willingness to take action and make changes. He talks about a girl on his block who keeps messing him up, and the stress he has to undergo, which he attempts to relieve by taking meds. Despite this, he is still afraid that it may be too late for him to take action. The song ends with the chorus and the line, "I'm way too young to lie here forever, I'm way too old to try, so whatever," which could be interpreted as an encouragement to enjoy life while they still can.
