… Read Full Bio ↴Barbe-Q-Barbies is a rock band formed in Helsinki, Finland in 2002.
Barbies get every Ken on their knees!
From HELLsinki, the rock capital of Finland, comes this all-girl no-bullshit rock’n’roll band ready to conquer every corner of the planet with their ass kicking riffs and in-your-face attitude. Barbe-Q-Barbies have been touring the dirtiest rock clubs since 2002 carefully developing their pack, releasing singles and writing better and better songs. Now they are ready to let loose their debut album All Over You. The album features handful of catchy rock songs crafted by girls themselves, and to add some surprise they have recorded the old Sweet classic Wig-Wam Bam with their own signature style. Niki’s seducing vocals and Kaisa’s fiery guitar work lead the band forward as they keep on doing what they love - rock’n’roll!
Their latest album “BORROWED TIME” is full of licks and hits harking back to the glory years of AC/DC, QOTSA, KISS, and MOTÖRHEAD, but with an added fuel injection of Helsinki attitude and femme fatale vocals that'll blow your mind. With this the BARBIES have simultaneously created their own style and revitalized the genre.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't bend
Gonna draw a line and then paint it red
Don't tempt me
'Cause in the end
Making you, making you, making you pay
A throw down
In a cage
There's no doubt
When I say
Making you, making you, making you pay
So run away
Yeah, you run away
Fade in
I got scars
Taking every punch is marking me hard
I get hit
I'll survive
Living on, living on borrowed time
You remind me
I'm a loaded gun
Run for your life 'cause a round is in the chamber
So don't blame me
Won't apologize
Don't be surprised when you try to pull my trigger
Back off
I know no fear
I gone through a lot just to stand right here
And you'll be
Sorry
Giving you, giving you, giving you a count of three
Ain't nowhere safe
You can't slip away
You're living on living on borrowed time
You remind me
I'm a loaded gun
Run for your life 'cause a round is in the chamber
So don't blame me
Won't apologize
Don't be surprised when you try to pull my trigger
Unbroken
'Cause the strong survive
Lay you down in the field by the meadow
You're choking
On your wounded pride
Lay you down in the field by the meadow
So don't blame me
Won't apologize
Don't be surprised 'cause you tried to pull my trigger
Yeah you oughta know, there's nowhere to go, yeah One more, going down, going down
You oughta know there's
Nowhere to go
Run for your life 'cause a round is in the chamber
Run for your life 'cause a round is in the chamber

The lyrics express a refusal to back down and a determination to make the person responsible pay for their actions. The opening lines set the tone, with the singer declaring that they will not bend and will draw a line that will be marked by the consequences inflicted upon the one who has tempted them.
The lyrics also highlight the resilience of the singer, with lines like "I got scars" and "Taking every punch is marking me hard." These lines emphasize that despite the difficulties faced, the singer will survive and keep going, living on borrowed time. The repeated reference to being a loaded gun and the warning to "run for your life 'cause a round is in the chamber" suggests that the singer is not to be messed with. They won't apologize for their actions and won't hesitate to retaliate when provoked.
The chorus invites the listener to understand that there is nowhere to hide or escape from the consequences. The person responsible is living on borrowed time, facing the inevitable repercussions of their actions. The lyrics build a sense of empowerment and strength, encouraging the listener to stand their ground and not allow others to take advantage of them.
