Bobaflex is an odd beast, a bracing mix of heavy riffage, hip-hop-inspired beats and alternately growling and soaring vocals. There are four singers in the band, so the angle of attack constantly shifts, which is partly why the bands songs careen around your brain far longer than hard rock's usual offerings.
BOBAFLEX released their 6th album CHARLATAN’S WEB on BFX RECORDS on September 10, 2013. The long anticipated follow up to 2011’s HELL IN MY HEART that featured the singles BURY ME WITH MY GUNS ON, CHEMICAL VALLEY and THE SOUND OF SILENCE. The first single off the album BAD MAN recently entered the charts at #38, their highest ranking for a single in their history.

Bobaflex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'd crawl inside my head and I'd find me a safe place
You don't know how it feels, if ya'll need me,
I'll be out in left field
When I was young, I went unsung,
I tried to fit in but the world wouldn't
Give in I kept spitting imagination,
Master equip me with the skills I need to fulfill
[Chorus]
I need your guidance, I won't be defiant
Gift goes unnoticed, unless you stay focused
I will go stronger, will never wonder
This is the path that I've chosen to take till the end
When I was young I was labeled a space case
So I'd crawl inside my head and I'd find me a safe place
You don't know how it feels, if ya'll need me,
I'll be out in left field
You don't know how it feels
Silent one in the back, they thought he was slow
This child contains a universe, the world may never know
A thinker, his mind actually moved faster
He was able to move the masses with enhanced mental factors
[Chorus]
You like to think that you can escape,
But precious is the time that you
Waste When you're running from your destiny
Made ya, my mind ripped,
But I remember your face
