Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll be gone like a bat out of hell
Far as I been told, you ain′t nothin but a
Stone cold steppin' stone
Bet you never though that I could be the one to let you down
So go on, use me up
Every line you cross is another one to bear the D down
Ooh, ooh
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you've had enough
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you′ve had enough
Separate my heart from my head
When it′s beat up with a clean cup
So come on read my will, and I'll pay no mind
Just the way I like it
Bet you never though that I could be the one to let you down
So go on, use me up
Every line you cross is another one to bear the D down
I like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you′ve had enough
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you've had enough
Uh-uh baby, not so fast
I cant eat again the table in the past
Uh-uh baby, not so fast
I cant eat again the table in the past
Ooh, ooh
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you′ve had enough
Like it when you play too rough
Ooh, ooh
So tell me when you've had enough
The song "Bully" by Black Pistol Fire appears to be about the dynamic between two lovers, with one character being portrayed as the "bully" in the relationship. The opening lines, "Far as I can tell, I don't know, You'll be gone like a bat out of hell" suggests that the singer is aware of their partner's tendency to leave abruptly. The line "Far as I been told, you ain't nothin but a stone cold steppin' stone" implies that this partner is not someone easily trusted, and may not have good intentions.
However, despite being aware of their partner's tendencies, the singer admits to enjoying it when their partner "plays too rough." The line "Every line you cross is another one to bear the D down" suggests that the partner's actions could potentially put a strain on the relationship. Yet, the singer admits to taking pleasure in these actions.
The final lines, "Uh-uh baby, not so fast, I can't eat again the table in the past" may suggest that the singer is hesitant to move forward in the relationship due to past experiences. Overall, the song seems to explore the complicated emotions that can exist in a toxic relationship, where one partner may be both drawn to and destroyed by the other.

@jasondidgeridoo1367
Indeed. A new fav. I often wonder how I've gone so long before discovering the bands I've come to love so much. Like, why didn't someone tell me sooner. I need new friends. Can you imagine going back to listening to the radio?

Okay I JUST realized the drummer was synthesizing. Yes, I'm a huge fan of Zeppelin, but this kind of talent to put out this level of sound with only TWO people? You guys made your way into my zep playlist. Keep on jamming. Incredible.

I was wondering where the bass came from. And now I'm like wow, even more than previously.
