Retreated
Bullet Bane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unjustly and unfairly
Cheated in my hopes
Discontent and rebellious
Against an affront
I feel that the situation is hopeless
Vigorously resist the things that are unpleasant
I try to protect myself against anything
That might make me feel neurasthenic

Retreated to stay
Cautiously away from other
Retreated to stay far away

Lights go out
Lights go out
The disappointments have made me
Suspicious waiting to see
It took me to an isolated departure
Forcing me to focus on myself

But when I have nothing
I look into the sky
It's mine and greater
Than anything
And when you have nothing
Just look into the sky
It's also yours

Retreated to stay




Cautiously away from other
Stay cautiously away from other

Overall Meaning

The song "Retreated" by Bullet Bane speaks about feeling cheated and discontented, and the subsequent need to retreat from the world to preserve one's mental and emotional health. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been wronged in some way and has become rebellious against this affront. They feel that the situation is hopeless and vigorously resist anything that is unpleasant. The singer tries to protect themselves from anything that might make them feel anxious or neurasthenic (a condition characterized by chronic fatigue and/or anxiety).


Feeling isolated and suspicious, the singer retreats from the world in order to focus on themselves. They emphasize the importance of looking to the sky when they have nothing, as it is greater than anything else. The repetition of "retreated to stay cautiously away from other" shows that the singer believes that they cannot be around other people without risking their emotional well-being.

a bateria ta muito paradona, parece um robo tocando, da p ver q o cara tem habilidade, mas precisa de mais pratos e elaboração e menos tatatatatatatata. o vocal é muito bom, mas tem que melhorar a estrutura dos versos, as rimas n tão colantes e daoras. a guitarra ta muito background, dá pra entender um solo no meio dos versos e refrões mas nada que alguem consiga perceber direito, a banda tem talento pra caralho, só precisa de mais ESTRUTURA.
