Bend Over
Dirtie Blonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're on a roll, roll, roll
You let him know
You proved you're way too tough
And you put on a real good show
And it was bad, bad, bad
And it's sad, sad, sad
You made a statement
But you lost everything you had

[Chorus]
I think you're a nice guy, baby
Cause you sure were good to me
And you know the apple never does fall
Too far from the tree
Oh, don't you know you got the right mind, baby
You just got strong beliefs, woah
And you know I'll never be the one to say
To say, to say what you want to hear
What you want to hear

Take it from me
Occasionally
You gotta bend over, baby
You take one for the team





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In the song "Bend Over" by Dirtie Blonde, the lyrics speak of an individual who is on a "roll" and impressing those around them, possibly through a show of toughness or strength, but ultimately they have lost everything they had in the process. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that they still believe the individual is a "nice guy" with "strong beliefs," and will not say what the person wants to hear. The song then goes on to suggest that sometimes in life, one must "bend over" and take one for the team. This could be interpreted as a message of sacrifice or compromise for the greater good.


The chorus of the song seems to focus on the idea that despite the individual's actions and their consequences, the singer still holds them in high regard. This is evident in the line "cause you sure were good to me," and the acknowledgement that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The latter statement could imply that the individual's behavior is not entirely their fault, as they may have inherited negative traits or tendencies from their family.


Overall, "Bend Over" by Dirtie Blonde seems to be a complex exploration of human behavior and the pressures we face to succeed and make tough decisions. The song acknowledges that sometimes, these decisions come with a cost, but also highlights the importance of maintaining one's values and beliefs.
