Based in San Diego, the band was on the horizon of a change in the music industry. At the time the catch phrase was “Grunge.” The band was eager to take a different path. With their backgrounds in Punk/Metal bands, Reggae bands and 2nd wave Ska bands, Buck-O-Nine had the formula for what was to become a new mutation of sounds. Inspired by the early founders of this new sound, Buck-O-Nine admired the works of Fishbone, Operation Ivy, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and the Voodoo Glow Skulls.

Buck-O-Nine has released several albums including Songs in the Key of Bree, Barfly, Twenty-Eight Teeth, and Libido.

Currently Buck-O-Nine still plays shows for fun. They have re-connected with the positive, fun vibe that the band originated from.

Ah Yeah
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

all of out lives and
All our dreams
Seems to come
Apart at the seams
But in the night
We dream of better
Things to come

there's gotta be
A better way
We tend to fantasize
Even though reality
Will open our eyes

why do we push our dreams aside
We must open our hearts
And then our minds
If it was all left to me
Then we would all live in a dream

but when we try to find another reason
All we find is displeas'in
It's a wonder we don't lose
All hope and faith
And if we could dream all day

We'd pray for things to go our way
And all our lives would see a happy day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Buck-O-Nine's song "Ah Yeah" speak to the struggle between our dreams and reality. The first stanza sets the tone by acknowledging the challenges we face in life, and how it can often feel like everything is falling apart. Despite this, however, the chorus suggests that in our dreams we hold onto hope for something better. The second stanza poses a question about why we tend to push our dreams aside, when in reality, we should embrace them by opening our hearts and minds. The lines "If it was all left to me, then we would all live in a dream" exemplify the idea that dreaming is a positive and necessary aspect of life.

The third stanza flips the script by pointing out that chasing our dreams can lead to disappointment and frustration. Despite this, the ultimate message of the song is that we should never give up on our dreams, even if they don't always come to fruition. The final lines "We'd pray for things to go our way, and all our lives would see a happy day" suggest that holding onto our dreams and maintaining a positive outlook can ultimately lead to a fulfilling life.

Line by Line Meaning

all of out lives and
Throughout our entire lives

All our dreams
All our hopes and aspirations

Seems to come
Often appear

Apart at the seams
To be breaking apart or failing

But in the night
During the night

We dream of better
We imagine and hope for better things

Things to come
What is yet to happen in the future

there's gotta be
There must be

A better way
An improved method or solution

We tend to fantasize
We often imagine or dream about things that may not be possible

Even though reality
Despite the truth or facts

Will open our eyes
Will make us see things as they truly are

why do we push our dreams aside
Why do we ignore or suppress our aspirations

We must open our hearts
We need to be open and vulnerable

And then our minds
And then our thoughts and ideas

If it was all left to me
If I had complete control

Then we would all live in a dream
Then we would all live in a perfect existence

but when we try to find another reason
but when we attempt to discover another explanation or justification

All we find is displeas'in
All we discover is unpleasantness or dissatisfaction

It's a wonder we don't lose
It's surprising that we haven't given up or lost hope

All hope and faith
Every ounce of hope and belief

And if we could dream all day
If we could daydream for hours on end

We'd pray for things to go our way
We would hope for things to turn out according to our desires

And all our lives would see a happy day
And our lives would be filled with joy and contentment
