Bambi
Hippo Campus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear to God, I wasn't born to fight
Maybe just a little bit, enough to make me sick of it
But I can read between the lines
I want to run from everything
But my legs won't work, it's clear to me

I haven't been much myself
And I feel like my friends are being put through this hell I'm feeling
I think that I'm living, if you could call it living
So brash and unforgivin'
Ruled by the vibe I'm bringing
Serving myself
Serving myself

The timing's poor, I know it's never right
It's hard to see this time of night
Hard to know the reasons why I fucked it up again
Still I breathe a sigh
It doesn't seem so lucky now
Maybe I can figure out why

I haven't been much myself
And I feel like my friends are being put through this hell I'm feeling
I think that I'm living, if you could call it living
So brash and unforgivin'
Ruled by the vibe I'm bringing
Serving myself
Serving myself

Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now, to where I got to be
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now, to where I got to be
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now to where I got to be
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now to where I got to be

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Bambi" by Hippo Campus, talks about the singer's reluctance to engage in conflicts. He said he was not made to fight, but maybe just a little bit to make him sick of it. He reads between the lines, suggesting that he's perceptive and can discern underlying issues in certain situations. The singer, however, wants to run away from everything, but his legs won't work. These lines could be interpreted to mean that he's tired of fighting and wants to give up, but he's unable to. He's stuck in his current situation.


The pre-chorus talks about the singer feeling like he's not himself, and the situation he's in is affecting his friends. He also says that he's living, but it's not really living. He's unforgiving and brash, governed by the vibe he's bringing. He's serving himself, which suggests that he's being selfish and not thinking about others.


The chorus talks about the singer acknowledging that the timing is poor, but he's unsure of why he keeps messing things up. He says that maybe he can figure it out why. The second verse is similar to the first, but it ends with him saying he'll make his way, and he'll be where he needs to be.


Overall, "Bambi" by Hippo Campus could be interpreted as a song about someone who wants to escape from a situation but feels stuck. They're going through something that's affecting the people around them but unsure of how to fix it. The singer is self-aware of his behavior but unsure of how to change it.
