Bäng
Blur Lyrics

Sitting in a SDT
The singer is waiting for something to happen while in a state of ennui and boredom.

Waiting for an underground train
The singer is waiting for something mundane, like public transportation, to provide a change of pace or a sense of purpose.

To rumble underneath my feet
The singer wants some kind of physical, visceral sensation to break up the monotony of everyday life.

Bang goes another day
Another day has slipped by without anything meaningful happening.

Where it went I could not say
The artist is not sure how time passes so quickly without anything of substance occurring.

Now I'll have to wait another week
The wait for something more exciting or fulfilling must continue.

When all is said and all is done
Reflecting on the end of a period of time, the singer realizes they haven't accomplished much.

What was said was never done
Plans or intentions were discussed, but nothing ever came of them.

Don't panic, it's not really worth your while
The artist advises against worrying too much about unfulfilled expectations because it won't solve anything.

In and out of one ear
The artist describes their experience of something passing them by without leaving any lasting impact, almost as if they were not paying attention.

Everybody's doing it, so do it too
The singer observes a sense of conformity or lack of originality among people in their society and reacts with resigned acceptance.

I don't need anyone
The artist is independent and self-sufficient.

But a little love would make things better
The singer admits that despite their independence, they long for emotional connection with someone else.

Sitting on the early bus
The singer is commuting to their daily routine.

Passing through the morning rush
The singer describes a busy and stressful part of the day for many people.

It makes no difference that I'm not with you
The artist acknowledges the absence of someone important in their life, but also implies that it doesn't change the overall monotony.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
This is a vocable, or a vocal sound without a specific meaning. It may connote feelings of boredom, frustration, or urgency.

But a little of your love can make things better
The singer repeats their wish for emotional connection, emphasizing the importance of that fulfillment.
