Bonkers
Armand Helden & Dizzee Rascal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I gotta get a grip
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Bonkers
I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Bonkers
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Bonkers
I wake up everyday it's a daydream
Everythin' in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Bonkers
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just livin' my life
There's nothin' crazy about me
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
In "Bonkers," Armand Helden & Dizzee Rascal describe a life filled with contradictions. The lyrics suggest that their life is both a dream and a nightmare at the same time. While they describe themselves as being "in too deep," they also claim to be "just living their life" without doing anything crazy. Furthermore, they acknowledge that while everyone around them insists that they need to get a grip, they ignore the advice and continue to live the way they want to.
The song also describes a preference for experiences that are dangerous or edgy. The lyrics reference heavy basslines and describe sex and violence as being the only things that matter. However, they also suggest that these experiences are not just driven by a need for thrills - the singer claims that they get these experiences for free, suggesting that they come naturally.
Overall, "Bonkers" depicts a life that is both exciting and confusing. The singer seeks out dangerous experiences and seems to have lost touch with reality, but they are unconcerned with what others think of them and are content to live as they please.

This song is crazy live. Everyone is bouncing in sync, so dope.
Dermacrosis
Was the pun intended? ;)
I wish I could have been there, bouncing is about all I can do properly. You really do not want to see me dancing.
Cammy Little
