Bully
Gold Class Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should look
Away
I'm terrified

My lips won't obey
Drunk on the air
Of being with you
Bully like hers [?]

You can mess
With me
Skinnier now
Hungry to be
A spark in the night
A muck on my luck
Bully like hers [?]

Bully
Bully

Tryna catch your eye
You've been around
Making elegance thrive
The kind that I want
Acknowledge and lust
It's busting me up

Here you are
With me
Clear in the [?]
Of a vague history
A hundred slow days
Just wishing to find
A bully like hers

Bully
Bully
Bully

Like a [?]
We can run this place
Why don't you come back home
For a raging grace
It's a quiet [?]
On a wild [?]

Bully
Oh bully
Bully

Here you are
With me
Clear in the [?]
Of a vague history
A hundred odd days




Just wishing to find
A bully like [?]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gold Class's song "Bully" reflect the singer's complex emotions towards a love interest whom they fear but desire simultaneously. The opening line sets the tone of fear and intimidation, with the singer asking the other person to look away. This fear could be attributed to the love interest's dominating personality that resembles a bully. However, the singer cannot help but feel drunk on their presence, which is contradictory to their initial fear.


The following verse makes it evident that the singer has a history with this person, and they have been bullied before. This experience leaves them vulnerable, making them easily manipulable. The lyrics "Skinnier now, hungry to be, a spark in the night, a muck on my luck" suggest the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to get the love interest's attention, even if it means compromising their self-esteem.


The chorus of the song repeatedly says "Bully" as if to emphasize the theme of domination and control. The remaining lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to take risks to be with this person, but their fear remains intact. The lyrics "It's a quiet [?]/ On a wild [?]" highlights the contrast of the love interest's demand for silence and control, and the singer's inner turmoil and passion.
