Bassline Junkie
Dizzee Rascal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Dirty, dirty stinkin' big
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Base, base, base
I don't need no heroin, no thanks
I don't want no coke
You can keep your Ketamine
I'm a bassline junkie, what?
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I don't like it funky
I'm a fiend for a big day bassline
When I hear one I have a great time
A bit of bass' all what I require
I let the bassline take me higher
My friends think that it's a bad habit
But I'm just like fuck you, damn it
If you take my base away
I'll blow your fucking face away
You might think I'm over the top
But when I hear that bassline drop
I just can't control my actions
But I still feel satisfaction
So don't come around here whinging
I just wanna hear the bassline rinsin'
Or we can just skank out all day
If not get the fuck out my way
I don't need no speed, no
I don't need no heroin, no thanks
I don't want no coke
You can keep your Ketamine
I'm a bassline junkie, what?
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I don't like it funky
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Dirty, dirty stinkin' big
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Base, base, base
You ever doubt, go the other day I got an asbo order
And I think it's well out of order
All my neighbours throwing the fifth
So I told them suck my dick
And I told them I got the power
And I turn the music up louder
All night till 6 in the morning
Old bastards, they just boring
You know me, I'm the bassline father
Nobody can tell me no other
And the police turned up and they took me
We drove out to the nick and they booked me
When they said they'd give me a caution
If I didn't give them no distortion
But I said don't bother, I'm guilty
I'm a bassline fucking filthy
I don't need no speed, no
I don't need no heroin, no thanks
I don't want no coke
You can keep your Ketamine
I'm a bassline junkie, what?
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I'm a bassline junkie, tell them again
I don't like it funky
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Dirty, dirty stinkin' big
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Big dirty stinking base, dirty stinking base
Base, base, base
Base, base, base
Base, base, base.
The song "Bassline Junkie" by Dizzee Rascal is a celebration of the power of electronic dance music (EDM) and its ability to move people. The lyrics are an unapologetic statement of the singer's love for bass-heavy music, which they describe as "big dirty stinking base." The repetition of "dirty stinking base" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and excitement that mirrors the rush of the music itself.
The singer declares that they don't need drugs like speed, heroin, or cocaine to experience a high because they are a "bassline junkie." They crave the intense physical sensation of the bassline and the way it takes them to a higher level of consciousness. The singer says that when they hear a bassline, they can't control their actions but they still feel satisfied. They reject the idea that their love for EDM is a bad habit and tell anyone who tries to take it away from them that they'll "blow your fucking face away."
In the bridge, the singer describes how they got an ASBO order (an anti-social behavior order) for playing their music too loud, but they refuse to be silenced. They see themselves as the "bassline father" and are willing to face the consequences of their actions to continue living life to the fullest.
Overall, "Bassline Junkie" is a celebration of the transformative power of music and its ability to bring people together. The singer's love for bass-heavy music is a declaration of their identity and a symbol of their refusal to conform to society's expectations.
