Overall Meaning

The song GB City by Bass Drum of Death is a reflection on a relationship that is clearly not working out. The singer is trying to make sense of the situation, trying to decode what is happening between them. The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer feels that he and his partner have been in the relationship for too long, and that things are not working out. The phrase "you might like to make me think it's wrong" suggests that the partner is trying to blame the singer for the relationship problems, and is trying to make him feel guilty. The phrase "kill in time it's I need to breathe" suggests that the singer feels suffocated in the relationship, and that he needs to break free to find himself again.


The title of the song, GB City, is a reference to the band's hometown of Oxford, Mississippi. The lyrics describe the pain that the town has caused the singer, and how he feels like he needs to get away from it all. The repetition of the phrase "GB City" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the town is at the heart of the singer's problems.


Overall, the song is a reflection on a relationship in crisis, and the singer's need to break free from it. The repetition of the phrase "Oh I got you, oh baby you got me" throughout the song suggests a kind of codependency between the two partners, and the need to find a way to break free from it.
