From 1979 till 1983, there was the Amsterdam, the Netherlands punk band The Bugs. Including originally: Simone, bass; Ronald, vocals; Alex and Peter on guitars. Carlo Edel, the editor of Razorblade fanzine, became guitarist later. Drummers changed a lot.

Australian Noise/Pop duo formed in Brisbane, mid-2014. The group draws from pop-punk / surf grunge influences to create a uniquely lighthearted sound; laden with intimate lyrical content and sing-along hooks. Formed as a solo side project from his Sunshine Coast band 'Pro Vita' - songwriter Connor Brooker created the moniker 'Bugs' after releasing a slate of self-produced bedroom EP's in 2014. Met with industry acclaim and national radio rotation in 2015 - Connor was joined by drummer Brock Weston permanently in January that year. The following debut mini-LP 'Too Fast For Satan' (2015) is 'Bugs' most recent music release.

Brazilian psychedelic band formed in Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte.
Bugs started with an conversation between bassist Paolo Bruno and drummer Joab Quental, on the 2002 reveillon with the intention to make a band with influences of rock, cinema, psicodelism and literature. Paolo called cousin Denilton Falcão for playing guitar. On the spring of the same year, the band started to make shows in the city, with some recorded material. At the end of the year they released their first EP. In 2003 they returned to the studio to record their first album, 'Bugs' with 13 tracks, acclaimed by some critics as one of the best Brazilian indie albums of that year. In 2004 they played on the Porão do Rock Festival, one of the most important rock festivals in Brazil, and had received good critics. In the middle of this year drummer Joab left the band, being substituted by Automatics' drummer Augusto, and later Dead Funny Days' guitarist Dimetrius joined Bugs. They had also released a new EP called Exilio by indie label Mudernage Diskos.

About You
Bugs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the only one who ever meant a damn to me
I am free and I will be until I die
I never cry
I laugh and kiss goodbye
All those suckers who thought they knew me..

And then there's you
The only peace I know

The glow that keeps me one with you
And then there's you
You make me so I see
The me that's now a part of you

I thought I'd never be anybody's one and only
No one could ever hold me down for the 1, 2, 3
I'm dazed, not confused
Abused and battered bruised
Losing nothing
Needing nobody to hold my hand
I am the only one who ever meant a damn to me
I am free and I will be until I die

And then there's you
The only peace I know
The glow that keeps me one with you
And then there's you
You make me so I see
The me that's now a part of you

And then there's you
(And I'm the only one)

Overall Meaning

In Bugs's song About You, the lyrics suggest a sense of independence and self-reliance. The singer declares that they are the only one who ever meant anything to themselves, and they are not moved by the opinions or judgments of others. They are free to live their life and die on their own terms, without shedding a single tear. However, there is someone who brings peace into their life, someone who makes them see the part of themselves that is now a part of that person. This person seems to complete the singer, bring them joy and comfort that they thought was unattainable.

The lyrics also hint at a past where the singer was deemed unattainable by others, untouchable in a sense. They were not looking for someone to hold their hand, and no one could hold them down. However, despite their self-sufficient approach to life, they seem to have found someone who now means the world to them. Someone who gives them peace and brings out the best in them.

Overall, the lyrics suggest that while the singer values their own independence and freedom, they have found someone who complements them, making them feel complete and content.
