We are tempted to say not at all as the three-piece from Nijmegen, Holland surely doesn’t need any silly introductions any more. But just for the fun of it, here are some buzzwords for you: Punkrock, Energy, a charismatic female voice and great, great melodies is what Bambix is all about. Bambix certainly is one of the best female fronted punk outlets on this planet. Along with their fifth album to date “Bleeding in a Box” which will finally hit stores on February 18th the band managed to make another step forward. Songs about hypocrisy, tolerance, relationships and Tyra Banks who turns out to be a dog - they all capture the spirit that has always driven the band to keep doing what they’re doing: “All the spirit that we got just by playing our songs, all the people that we met who would gladly sing along, gave us everything we wanted and sometimes even more”. But listen for yourselves!

Eine Bandinfo über Bambix? Wir sind der Meinung, das ist mittlerweile überflüssig, denn das Punkrock-Trio aus Nijmegen, Holland hat solche lästigen Einführungen eigentlich gar nicht mehr nötig. Damit es nicht komplett langweilig wird, trotzdem ein paar Schlagworte, wie immer zum Abtippen: Punk, Energie, Leidenschaft, charismatischer Frauengesang und großartige Melodien - wirft man das alles in einen Mixer und schüttelt kräftig, dann bekommt man zumindest schon mal ein Gefühl für das, was Bambix ausmacht: Wohl eine, wenn nicht die beste Punkband mit Frau am Steuer. Nichts weniger darf man dann auch von dem bislang fünften Longplayer "Bleeding in a Box" erwarten, welcher am 15. Februar endlich in den Läden stehen wird. 13 Songs über Toleranz, Scheinheiligkeit, Beziehungen und eine Antwort auf die Frage, was Tyra Banks mit einem Hund gemeinsam hat. Neugierig?
“Bleeding In A Box”, das sind 13 Songs, die für all das stehen, was die Band am Leben hält und antreibt: “All the spirit that we got just by playing our songs, all the people that we met who would gladly sing along, gave us everything we wanted and sometimes even more”. Reinhören!

Bambix Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doing dishes and I wash my hair
There's nothing on TB
Hevn't got a date for almost 18 years
And I don't think I find one here

Can you find the way home
Can you help me to find my way back home?

Bored as hell am I. where are you?
The real fighters have all gone
Where the hell were you in '75
Alrealdy fighting to get another life

Can you find the way home
Can you help me to find my way back home?

And I'll see you again in the spotlight of the sun
The one who really turned me on and on
Put out the light

I've been alone. so many year.
The years keep raging in my ears
I am lost without the one I used tho hold
I'm cold. the house doesn't give me shelter anymore

I need to head towards the door and
Never come back again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bambix's song Spotlight delve into themes of loneliness and longing for a connection. The singer paints a picture of mundane tasks, like doing dishes and washing hair, while feeling bored and lonely. The absence of love and companionship in the singer's life is emphasized when they mention that they haven't had a date in 18 years, and they doubt they would find one where they are. The lyrics also touch on the idea of nostalgia and looking back on better times, as the singer asks "where the hell were you in '75" and comments that the "real fighters" are all gone.

The chorus of the song is a plea for help, as the singer asks for assistance in finding their way back home - both in a literal and metaphorical sense. The final verse speaks of the depth of the singer's loneliness and their desire to leave their current situation. Their home, which used to be a place of shelter, no longer provides comfort and they feel lost without the one they used to hold. The song ends with a sense of finality and determination as the singer proclaims their need to leave and not come back.
