STATUE
Bonnie Banane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I start thinking about you
I cant stop (I can't)
I cant stop thinking about you, baby
What we had
Why it ended
You got dust in your eyes
I' m probably the best you ever had
I m probably the best you ever had
I m probably the best you ever had
I m probably the best you ever had
All the fun we had
All the lies you said
That night you were scared to talk about the attacks
All the doubts
All the trials
That summer when we travelled across the south
All the rules you set
All the shame I felt
That final day when you betrayed me so nasty
How you gonna live with that?
Karma gonna get back at you
How you gonna miss me now?
Karma gonna get back at you
At last I realised
That man wont have my back
Before it' s too late I
Managed to step aside
Never gon to rely
On you -Trust - I decline
Expected a reply
You failed so I goodbyed
Your ashes
Your ashes
Your ass is wrong -
Your ashes
Your ashes
My back is thrown /
Im probably the best you ever had!
Im probably the best you ever had!
Im probably the best best best
(I'm not sure but)
Im probably the best
And soon we gonna bump eachother on the street
And you wont recognize me
You gon be like:
"Is that you looking like a statue?
Is that you looking like a statue?
Out of reach
Out of reach"
Im looking like a statue while you passing by me...
Im looking like a statue while you passing by me...
The lyrics of Bonnie Banane's song "Statue" explore the aftermath of a breakup and the singer's mix of anger, regret, and a desire for revenge. The song's opening lines establish the singer's preoccupation with their former lover: "When I start thinking about you / I can't stop." The repetition of "I can't" in this line implies a feeling of frustration and being unable to move on. The singer then lists different aspects of the relationship, from the good times to the fights and betrayals, but the refrain "I'm probably the best you ever had" is repeated throughout the song like a mantra. This could be interpreted as a statement of confidence or a form of resistance against their former lover's betrayal.
The song's mood shifts in the final verse as the singer looks towards the future and their ex's eventual regret: "And soon we gonna bump each other on the street / And you won't recognize me." This line suggests that the singer has grown and changed, perhaps for the better, while their ex remains stuck in the same patterns of behavior. The final line, "I'm looking like a statue while you passing by me," is repeated and seems to suggest that the singer has now achieved a kind of emotional detachment from the relationship. They are no longer consumed by thoughts of their ex, but rather observe them from a distance, like a statue.
Overall, "Statue" is a complex and introspective exploration of the messy emotions that can follow a breakup. The song acknowledges the pain and hurt, but also the potential for growth and liberation that can come from moving on.
