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.

Alone Again
Bugs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I walk around the streets of home
I start to feel more self absorbed
Iʼm alone again, but it must be more that
As I trod along the track of life
I get tripped by fear, burn out my light
And Iʼm alone again, but it must be more than that
And I could loan a friend, but Iʼd still be feeling flat

Cause Iʼm alone again
On my phone pretend
Seven day weekend
Iʼm my own best friend
Cause Iʼm alone again
Every night at ten
I get lonely when
Iʼm alone again
And it sucks

Itʼs a puzzle piece and I must find
The part of me that I donʼt mind
Get a donor, lend something
That you just canʼt bye
But youʼre alone again
All these questions, asking why

Cause Iʼm alone again
On my phone pretend
Seven day weekend
Iʼm my own best friend
Cause Iʼm alone again
Every night at ten
I get lonely when
Iʼm alone again

Cause Iʼm alone again
On my phone pretend
Seven day weekend
Iʼm my own best friend
Cause Iʼm alone again
Every night at ten
I get lonely when
Iʼm alone again

Cause Iʼm alone again
Cause Iʼm alone again
Cause Iʼm alone again

Cause Iʼm alone again
And it sucks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bugs's song "Alone Again" depict a sense of isolation, introspection, and a struggle with loneliness. The singer of the song is walking through the streets of their hometown, feeling increasingly self-absorbed and disconnected from others. They express the feeling of being alone, but also acknowledge that there must be something more to it than just physical solitude.

As the singer continues their journey through life, they encounter obstacles such as fear and uncertainty, which seem to extinguish their inner light. They mention that even if they were to have a friend by their side, they would still feel empty and unfulfilled. The chorus emphasizes their loneliness, pretending to be occupied on their phone, and feeling like every day is a never-ending weekend. They rely on themselves, becoming their own best friend, but still experience a deep sense of loneliness.

The second verse suggests that the singer is searching for a missing piece within themselves, something they don't mind about themselves. They allude to the idea of borrowing or lending something that can't be bought, symbolizing a desire for connection and understanding. They express frustration with constantly feeling alone and question the reasons behind their circumstances.

Line by Line Meaning

As I walk around the streets of home
As I wander through familiar surroundings

I start to feel more self absorbed
I become increasingly lost in my own thoughts and emotions

Iʼm alone again, but it must be more than that
I am by myself once more, and there is a deeper underlying reason

As I trod along the track of life
As I journey through the path of existence

I get tripped by fear, burn out my light
I stumble due to fear, extinguishing my inner flame

And Iʼm alone again, but it must be more than that
And I find myself isolated once more, with a deeper significance

And I could loan a friend, but Iʼd still be feeling flat
Even if I were to borrow someone's company, I would still feel empty inside

Cause Iʼm alone again
Because I am once again in solitude

On my phone pretend
Engaging in pretense and distraction on my cellphone

Seven day weekend
Enduring an extended period of monotony and routine

Iʼm my own best friend
I have become my only source of companionship and support
