Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground




Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Jungle Shot Me Down" by David Guetta and Skylar Grey tell a story about two children, a boy and a girl, who used to play together. They used to ride on horses made of sticks - a simple childhood game that they both loved. The girl wore white while the boy wore black, and the boy always won their fights. However, one day, their game turns tragic when the boy shoots the girl down with his imaginary gun. The girl falls to the ground, and the song repeats the refrain "Bang Bang, my baby shot me down." It seems that this event leaves a lasting impact on the girl, as evidenced by the solemn and haunting tone of the song.


The song explores the theme of violence, which is an unfortunate reality of our world. In the song, the violence is not explicitly done with real guns, but the message still resonates with the listener. The line "that awful sound" refers to the sound of the girl being shot, which could be interpreted as the sound of violence in general. The song is a reminder of how violence can affect us all, especially when it is unexpected and comes from someone we love.
