Bang The Drum
Ashley Wallbridge feat Audrey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have always been
Behind closed doors
And all of your words
Still mean nothing
I choose to ignore
Little brave one
Brave to the core
They only feel real
This sound of drums
Can kill the fear
See how they run
When I bang the drum
You can see what they become
When I bang the drum
These lyrics from "Bang The Drum" explore themes of hiding and fear, as well as the power of music to help overcome those emotions. The singer notes that someone has always been hiding behind closed doors, and despite their words, they don't really mean much. The singer chooses to ignore those words and instead focus on their own inner bravery. The sound of drums is described as being able to "kill the fear", and the chorus celebrates the transformation that occurs when the singer "bang[s] the drum". Those who were once running from their fears become visible, perhaps even transformed, by the power of the sound.

Still hiding when you
Even though it's been some time, you're still avoiding true honesty
Have always been
This has been your pattern for as long as time can remember
Behind closed doors
Your struggle with vulnerability is nothing new and you choose to keep it hidden
And all of your words
Everything you say falls on deaf ears because it lacks authenticity
Still mean nothing
Your attempts at communication remain empty and superficial
I choose to ignore
I'm making a conscious choice to disregard your words because they don't ring true
It's always been me
From the start, I've been the one facing fear head-on while you bury it
Little brave one
Though I may not be the strongest, I choose bravery in the face of fear
Brave to the core
My courage is something that comes from deep within and defines who I am
They only feel real
Everything else fades away in the presence of a heartbeat-pulsing drum
This sound of drums
The relentless beat of a drum has a power like nothing else
Can kill the fear
In the midst of pounding percussion, fear ceases to be a factor
See how they run
Those who are usually gripped by fear are now fleeing
When I bang the drum
The sheer force of the drumbeat is what's causing their reactions
You can see what they become
The effects of the drumbeat are uncovering the true colors of those around me
When I bang the drum
The power behind the drumbeat is still prevailing

04:04 - 04:47 is my favorite part. That specific snare and drum beat I'm always very fond of. And that trippy organ sound of course.

Omnia's track is so special... He has wonderful complementary sounds that... well, it's a matter of feeling it.

I've been listening to him since 2008. he is still as great as before. I love his sounds so much.. he and the Blizzards have a unique style that you can't find in any other Trance DJs.

The "break" in this track beats any "drop" in dubstep. This song is hot!

I love the way he use that particular synth since 2008... his collabs with The Blizzard are absolutely insane! He has a very powerful style in Trance scene.
