Bambis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She be comin to get ya
This is all worth lots
She was a bad word taken...
With all of her thoughts
Comin comin to get me I'm a dead man now I'm a dead...
Jump up get high
Or move and get by
She's creeping so slowly
Her ghost is so holy
Yeah give into the want now now
These signs are so controlling
And she don't care
That's how she loves
Just gives it away
To the locks of love
We've been pulled into her black hole
Vacuumed to feed the suck
This love is upon us
Whether we want it or not
Come on down
Come on
Shake it off
She be comin to get ya
It's all done now
She's sticking her fingers
Inside of her mouth
Comin comin to get me I'm a dead man now I'm a dead man
Jump up get high
Be a slave unto the movement
Or move and get by
She's creeping so slowly
Her ghost is so holy
Yeah give into the want now
The signs are so controlling
And she don't care
That's how she loves
Just give it away
To the locks of love
We've been pulled into her black hole
Vacuumed to feed the suck
This love is upon us
Whether we want it or not
Come on down
The lyrics to Bambis's song "If This Is Love" seem to depict a toxic and destructive relationship. The singer is unable to shake off the presence of this person who keeps coming back into their life. The singer acknowledges that despite the difficulties and pain, this connection feels valuable or worth pursuing. The line "She was a bad word taken... with all of her thoughts" suggests that this person has a troubled or negative outlook on life. The repetition of "Comin comin to get me I'm a dead man now I'm a dead..." indicates a sense of inevitability or powerlessness in escaping this person's hold.
The chorus reflects the dichotomy of being caught in this unhealthy dynamic. On one hand, the singer is encouraged to embrace the intensity and energy of this relationship, becoming a slave to its movements. On the other hand, there is the option to move on and find a way to live without this person. The line "She's creeping so slowly, her ghost is so holy" suggests that this person's influence is insidious and has a strong hold over the singer. The signs mentioned in the lyrics may refer to the red flags or warning signs that this relationship is unhealthy.
The repeated phrase "And she don't care, that's how she loves" implies that the person in question is indifferent to the consequences of their actions and has a callous approach to love. They give their love away freely but it comes at a cost, trapping others in a metaphorical "black hole." The line "Whether we want it or not" suggests that this love is inescapable, whether the singer desires it or not.
Overall, the song portrays a tumultuous and destructive love affair in which the singer feels helpless and trapped.
