Bandits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just to tell you the truth
Yeah, we know it's not new
But we're here from the start
And that'll break you apart - uuuhhh...
You've got to light a candle to be with me
'cause you know I am so high above you, I can't see
I can show you where the wind blows
It's allright ...
Let's go, the wind has changed, it blows so wild
Now hit the fear and sing a song, yeah, sing it like a child
Don't you see, we are flying like batman
We are going to the promised land
It's allright ...
We're on the way to somewhere, we don't know
but the time will show us where we stand, where we can go
Don't you see we are burning like the sunball
Yeah, we like it when the rain falls
It's allright ...
In the opening lyrics of Bandits’s song “It’s Alright,” the band reassures listeners that they're here for them, ready to speak the truth even if it's not new. The lyrics suggest that the truth can sometimes be difficult to accept and that hearing it can break a person apart. However, the band seems to be emphasizing that this is necessary for personal growth and to move forward in life.
The following lines "You’ve got to light a candle to be with me. 'Cause you know I am so high above you, I can't see" can be interpreted as a metaphorical image of two people on different levels. The idea is that the person speaking is above the other, but if they light a candle, they can meet on the same level. They have to make an effort to meet halfway in order to see the same things the other sees. The lyric "I can show you where the wind blows" suggests that once they are on the same level, the person speaking can offer guidance, direction and support.
The chorus “It’s Alright” suggests that things may be changing, but there is no need to worry. The band encourages listeners to embrace the change and let go of their fears. "Let’s go, the wind has changed, it blows so wild. Now hit the fear and sing a song, yeah, sing it like a child. Don't you see, we are flying like Batman. We are going to the promised land” encourages the audience to face their fears with a childlike, innocent perspective, which could help them overcome them. The band suggests that these changes are leading them somewhere new, somewhere they don't yet know, but that over time, they will find out where they stand and where they can go.
