Bang!
AJR feat. Rivers Cuomo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up, I get down and I'm jumpin' around
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!)

(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!)

Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AJR feat. Rivers Cuomo's song "Bang!" speak to the desire for growth and change in one's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been enjoying the excitement and chaos of their current lifestyle, but now they feel it's time to move on and mature. They have acquired an apartment and attempted to adopt healthier habits, but they still don't feel like they have fully grown up.

The chorus encourages everyone to put on a happy face and act like they know the song, as if they are all participating in a grand farewell. The repetition of "bang" throughout the song represents a cathartic release and a desire to go out with a bang, to make a memorable exit from their current state of being. The lyrics reflect the conflicting emotions of feeling too young to remain stagnant but also too old to make significant changes, suggesting a sense of frustration and uncertainty.

Ultimately, the song captures the longing for something more, for growth and transformation in life. It expresses a need for change and a desire to leave a lasting impact before moving on to the next chapter.

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Hello, hello
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I hope that you're missin' me
'Cause it makes me feel young
Hello, hello
Last time that I saw your face
Was recess in second grade
And it made me feel young

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I wanna feel somethin' again
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (Oh oh oh oh)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
"Goodbye, goodbye"
I said to my best-est buds
We said that we'd keep in touch
And we did our best
All my new friends
We smile at party time
But soon we forget to smile
At anything else

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I want to feel somethin' again
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (Oh oh oh oh)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?

[Post-Chorus: Jack Met]
How's it go again? (Go again, go again, go again…)

[Bridge: Rivers Cuomo]
My favorite color is you
You're vibratin' out my frequency
My favorite color is you
You keep me young and that's how I wanna be
My favorite color is you
You're vibratin' out my frequency
My favorite color is you
You keep me young and that's how I wanna be

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
Hello, hello
I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I hope that you're missin' me
'Cause it makes me feel young
Hello, hello
Last time that I saw your face
Was recess in second grade
And it made me feel young

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
And I want to feel somethin' again
I just wanna feel somethin' again
How's it go again?

[Chorus: Jack Met]
Won't you help me sober up?
Growin' up, it made me numb
And I want to feel somethin' again (My favorite color is you)
Won't you help me sober up?
All the big kids, they got drunk
And I want to feel somethin' again (My favorite color is you)
Won't you help me feel somethin' again? (My favorite color is you)
Can I finally feel somethin' again?
How's it go again?

This reminds me of my friend.

We were friends in first grade, until he moved to Conneticut. We said we’d keep in touch, but I never heard from him.

Turns out he was killed in Sandy Hook.

Not a day goes by I don’t miss him.

Rest In Peace, Chase 💚

I love how in the first chorus when he sees the "inner child" in some dude's sunglasses, he isn't even embarrassed (or at least doesn't show it) when he realizes he was just awkwardly staring deeply into another stranger's eyes. He's just so amazed to see his inner child reflection. So many little things in this song that I love!
This song is so relatable too. At first he realizes he's still a kid at heart, and his first reaction - as an adult - is to try and get rid of it by moving reflection to reflection really fast. When he does lose his inner child, he feels lost and looks everywhere trying to get it back.
Definitely one of AJR's best music videos on top of one of their best songs imo

edit over a year later: I was just cleaning out my email inbox and saw a bunch of emails from YouTube because people responded to this. Didn't realize this reached so many people! It really warms my heart to see people of all ages relating to this sentiment <3 I'm 24 now, done with graduate school and feel like my life is just beginning. it's a paradoxical but peaceful feeling. Keep trekking, friends, and find that space to live in the moment. I believe in you. :-)

I doubt anyone will see this, but I'm starting to realize that NOW is the time to enjoy life, no matter how wonderful the past might seem. Live in the moment.
This song came out during my freshman year of college, when I felt like I was getting so old. It resonated with me a lot, the idea of growing up making me numb. Going off to college and turning 18 in the same year just made me feel like I was super old and couldn't enjoy the things I used to anymore. Everything felt too serious and too fast. I'm getting my master's degree now and feel like I'm getting even older. When I look back on my freshman year of college, I tell myself I was so young and had so much to enjoy about the world back then and kick myself because, back then, I was too caught up worrying about the past instead of just enjoying the moment. In another 5 years, I'm probably gonna still feel too old but look back on graduate school and wish I had just lived in the moment more instead of feeling like growing up was taking my enjoyment away. Dwelling on the past wishing I would have enjoyed it more "back then" takes away from the only thing I really have in this world - which is time in the moment. Yes, growing up unequivocally sucks, but it's part of life, and we don't have a choice. However, we do have a choice with how we spend our time living in the moment.
So, if anyone's reading this, take a deep breath. Come back to right now. It's OK to be nostalgic about the past from time to time, but don't let that get in the way of the beauty of the present moment. If there's one thing I'm sure about in life, it's that time is the most precious thing we have.

I'm working a job I don't like, living with people (family) who don't make me happy (after the only dear person from the bunch had passed away), having friends who don't reciprocate anything or who just do the bare minimum, I've never felt love with a woman, or similar belonging...

The song says "all the big kids, they are drunk", but I feel that's the only way to cope :/

Oh and I'm writing this after a great vacation with a couple of real friends. So basically while I'm feeling "better than usual". Ah. What a tedious journey, this 'life'.

This is my favorite AJR song. It’s gotten me through some dark times, and reminds me that sometimes, yeah, maybe I do need to sober up. While listening, I was cleaning out my closet and saw my old Girl Scout uniforms, Daisy to Cadette. The memories came flooding back, and I realized just how drunk I was, and that I needed to feel something again, feel that bright carelessness of childhood. I’m growing up now, sometimes a little too fast, and need to remember all those memories every once in a while. Thank you, AJR.

This is the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard. Being the youngest in my family, and moving around a lot when I was younger, this really hits hard. Most of the time when I’m around family I’ve run out of emotions to their antics or I’m just the stupid younger brother. Then I try and find friends who can help me feel alive and my age again, but then they end up being more of a burden than I intended. One day I hope to finally be able to feel like I was when I was younger and had my major emotions.

Damn. I think others have already spoken but this song really relates to teens. None of the angst or anything but they fear of losing your childhood.

While I love the reference, describing someone as your favorite color when referencing frequencies is fairly scientifically sound. The perception of color has to do with the frequency of the light waves and how those light waves bounce off of an object and to our eyes.

I heard this song and it reminded me of my best friends back home a few states away. I got this sinking feeling right there that I was going down the wrong path, the “professional” path I never wanted to. I buried my feelings and finished the training and I was Assistant Director for a while miserable year. I kept this song close to my heart until I was finally ready to put in my 2 weeks and pursue my real love of writing. Growing up really did make me numb, and AJR helped me sober up.

I can’t wait until I’m done so I can get back to writing my own stuff. Right now I’m working on a writing course to teach others who want to write their own novel.

I listened to this song as a young teenager, coming right out of my preteens. Didn't know what life had in store for me, and listening to this song on the radio was great, but I didn't understand every bit of it. Six years later, and as a guy pretty close to his early twenties, I can echo the sentiments of this song: I don't know where I'm supposed to be, and I'm trying to search for the older parts of myself in order to feel young

@Jessica-xz5zp

I can't remember exactly how I found this song, but I remember finding it when I was in middle school and it always meant so much to me. I'm now done my first year of college, and I think it's safe to say this song has stuck with me through good and bad times. It always gave me a weird sense of nostalgia and longing for something I couldn't truly explain - but now, about 5 years later, after everything I've been through, I think I'm starting to finally get it, and it's just giving a deeper love to this song I didn't even know was possible

This song reminds me of my friend Kendra. She was an excellent artist. Really liked cats, especially mine. I've never met anyone who believed in me as much as she did.

She moved, but we still talked online. Eventually we lost touch from even that. She didn't show up online for a long time.

Turns out she died eight months ago in a car accident. She was 15. The last thing she ever texted me was how she wanted to meet up soon.

The line “my favorite color is you” brings back a very distinct memory for me. I used to have such interesting and meaningful conversations with a friend. She hated small talk and so we would often try to have more meaningful conversations. One day we were talking about liking AJR, and we mentioned this song and somehow we both sang this line at the same time. It was just so nice to share that moment and to be friends. We have drifted apart which is why I see this line as such a sad one personally. It reminds me of those conversations and how I wish I could relive some of those moments.
