Bang My Head
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was bound, was tired
Hadn't seen a light so long
Thought I lost my fight
Couldn't find my way back home
And I felt the light stepping out of me
I was bound, and tired
Waiting for daylight (Daylight daylight, and I)
Bang my head against the wall
Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I felt light headed
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rose above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang my head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Instead I rose above it all
(Bang my head against the wall)

When you think you're giving up, just know
You might think you're dying but you won't
And you feel the life stepping out of you
But when you think of giving up, don't (Oh)

Bang your head against the wall
You may feel light headed, but you won't crawl, no, you won't fall
You will rise above it all
You'll find what you're searching for
And you may feel light headed
You think you're gonna hit the floor
Instead you rise above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang your head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Instead you rise above it all
(Bang my head against the wall)

I have broken wings
I keep trying, keep trying
No I won't give up
Oh I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Bang my head against the wall
Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I felt light headed,
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rose above it all

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang my head against the wall
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bang my head against the wall (Ooh)




Bang my head against the wall (Ooh)
Instead I rise above it all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Guetta’s song Bang My Head depict the feeling of being exhausted and wanting to give up. The singer shares his experience of feeling bound and tired, as if he had lost his fight and could not find his way back home. He expresses the sensation of the light stepping out of him, which could be interpreted as him losing hope. However, as the chorus comes in, he starts encouraging himself and others to keep going, to not give up. The repetition of “Bang my head against the wall” symbolizes the idea of pushing through obstacles, of persevering even when things seem difficult.


The chorus also highlights the importance of finding what you are searching for. The singer talks about his own experience of feeling light-headed and thinking he was going to hit the floor, but he rose above it all instead. The idea of rising above is a common theme throughout the song, as it provides a sense of hope and resilience. The second verse continues with this theme and introduces the idea of broken wings and trying to fly. It’s a metaphor for the challenges one faces in life, but also the determination to keep trying.

I was bound, was tired
I felt trapped and exhausted


Hadn't seen a light so long
I hadn't seen hope or positivity in a while


Thought I lost my fight
I believed I had given up and lost my will to continue


Couldn't find my way back home
I was lost and couldn't find my direction or purpose


And I felt the light stepping out of me
I felt like I was losing my energy and hope


Bang my head against the wall
I will persevere and keep going despite the obstacles


Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall
Even though I feel weak, I have the strength to keep going and will not give up


I will rise above it all
I will overcome my struggles and succeed

When you feel like you can't continue, remember

You feel like you're losing your energy and hope

But don't give up, keep going

I was bound, was tired
Hadn't seen a light for son
Thought I lost my fight
Couldn't my way back home
And I found daylight stepping out of me
I was bound, and tired
Waiting for daylight

Bang my head against the wall
Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I feel light headed
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rose above it all

Bang my head against the wall
Instead I rose above it all

(Bang my head against the wall)

When you think you're giving up
Just know, you might think you're dying but you won't
And you the feel the love, something out of you
But when you think of giving up, don't

Bang your head against the wall
You may feel light headed
But you won't crawl, no, you won't fall
You will rise above it all
You'll find what you're searching for
And you may feel light headed
You think you're gonna hit the floor
Instead you rise above it all

Bang your head against the wall
Instead you rise above it all

I have broken wings
I keep trying, keep trying
No one get out
Oh I'm flying, oh I'm flying

Bang my head against the wall
Though I feel light headed, now I know I will not fall
I will rise above it all
Found what I was searching for
Though I feel light headed
I should have failed, and nailed the floor
Instead I rose above it all

Bang my head against the wall
Bang my head against the wall
Bang my head against the wall
Instead I rise above it all



@alexmiller8487

+ultramode94 Yeah he TOTALLY is! Lets list the reasons why he is "The best"
1. He proposes a tax system which will increase the US government's
already massive budget deficit significantly.
2. He hates practically every minority and spreads rumors about them to
make his campaign more popular
3. He is opposed to vaccines and says that they cause illness and death,
when in fact, they prevent millions of deaths annually.
4. He is sexist and thinks that men are superior to women.
5. Even though he says he is fervently opposed to illegal immigration,
he has been involved in about three scandals involving illegal alien
labor, and says he will deport 11 MILLION illegal immigrants shortly
after taking office (I detect LIES).
6. He says that the world is cooling instead of warming, because the US
had recently had one of the coldest winters in American history, even
though the rest of the world experienced some of the hottest summers in
history.
7. He wants to put import tariffs on China and other countries to
"Increase the economy in the US", even though that would actually strain
the economy because the US relies on imports to fuel its primarily
commercially based economy, and decrease companies' earnings.
8. He has switched partied multiple times in the past which shows that
he may not be truly committed to the values of the republican party.
9. He is the most hypocritical candidate I know, saying that anyone with
even just one foreign born parent can't run for president EVEN THOUGH
HIS MOM IS SCOTTISH!
10. This list could go on forever, but it would be a waste of my time.
If you want clarification on the topics, sources, or any more reasons
why he is awful, just ask.

(I already posted this, but it was likely that you would not see it, as it is very far down in the comments, so I decided to re-post it)
