Bionic Jive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody take flight from this stage to the crowd below
And expose a bloody nose from the the flows of your elbows
No crowd control
This is no holds barred, we gonna brawl
Until you knocked out, sprawled
In your socks and draws with the paramedics involved
Engage the mosh pit and lose control until the stage fold
Because bionic ain't leaving until you suffocatin' in the front row
I wanna see shoulder blades ricochet off the ribcage
This is new age, stress age for boogie down renegades in rage
You wanna body bang, this is insane
War games with nothing to gain but pain
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
This section is reserved for those hard to kill
So shove him in his chest hard enough to turn his lungs to gills
Dislocate your shoulder is the quota
These blows send your head to nova scotia
When animalistic impulse take over
Mosh monster, behold the head trauma, get down
No do si doe, this is the true essence of the underground
From sunshine or rain, we toss on asphalt terrain
Till we levitate over the crowd with your eye balls gouged
You wanna body bang, this is insane
War games with nothing to gain but pain
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
I'm goin' insane
I feel the temperature rise but can I maintain?
All the pushin' and shovin', it's like we gang bang
It's a thin line between livin' and dyin'
I'm goin' insane
I feel the temperature rise but can I maintain?
All the pushin' and shovin', it's like we gang bang
It's a thin line between livin' and dyin'
You wanna body bang, this is insane
War games with nothing to gain but pain
You wanna clash with it? We can clash with it
And see who be the last man to stand with it
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
If you ready for war then hit the the floor, everybody come on
You're in the swarm, you're in the swarm
You wanna bang, let's go, bring the pain, let's go
You hit 'em high, high, I hit 'em low, low
The lyrics to Bionic Jive's "Swarm" describe a chaotic scene where the audience and performers engage in a violent mosh pit. The first verse describes the desire to see someone get hurt from the aggressive elbows thrown in the pit, with no control over the crowd. The chorus repeats the invitation to engage in the chaos, with an emphasis on inflicting pain. The second verse is particularly graphic, with lines about dislocating shoulders and causing head trauma. The bridge suggests that the intensity of the experience could be overwhelming, with the singer questioning whether they can maintain their sanity amid the frenzy.
The song appears to be an ode to the aggressive and chaotic energy of mosh pits at punk and metal shows. The lyrics describe pain and violence as integral parts of the experience, and encourage the listener to take part. However, it is also possible that the song is a criticism of violence in mosh pits, with lines like "It's a thin line between livin' and dyin'" suggesting the dangers of the activity. Ultimately, the lyrics are open to interpretation and could be seen as a celebration or a critique of mosh pit culture.
