Bang!
I.C. Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They claimed responsibility for the executions
Described as severely mentally disturbed
It appears to show another hostage executed by the terrorist group
Deserve to be annihilated
I get my kicks and I want to start a rager
I want to dance like I'm on the video
I'm sweating bullets like a modern Romeo
Bang, bang, give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain (oh)
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead, I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head (oh)
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
I testify like a lullaby of memories
Broadcasting live and it's on my radio
I got my photo bomb, I got my Vietnam
I love a lie just like anybody else
Bang, bang, give me fame
Shoot me up to entertain (oh)
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
You're dead, I'm well fed
Give me death or give me head (oh)
Broadcasting from my room and playing with my toys
I want to be a celebrity martyr (oh)
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
I wanna be like the soldiers on the screen
It's my private movie (Holy war)
Oh, baby, baby, this is Viva Vendetta
Oh, this is love or it's World War Zero
I wanna be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
I wanna be a celebrity martyr (oh)
The leading man in my own private drama
Hurrah (bang bang), hurrah (bang bang) the hero of the hour
Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier
The lyrics to I.C. Green's song "Bang!" paint a disturbing picture of a person who is deeply consumed by a desire for attention, fame, and notoriety through violent means. The opening lines of the song allude to the chilling reality of executions being broadcast in videos and the claim of responsibility by a terrorist group for these heinous acts. The mention of the execution of a hostage by the group and the notion that they "deserve to be annihilated" sets a dark tone for the song.
The singer of the song expresses a desire to "start a rager" and engage in violent and reckless behavior to feel alive and exhilarated. The imagery of dancing like they're in a video and sweating bullets like a modern Romeo suggests a twisted fascination with violence and danger. The repeated cries of "Bang, bang, give me fame" indicate a craving for attention and recognition, even if it comes at a deadly cost.
The theme of loneliness and detachment runs throughout the lyrics, with references to being a "semi-automatic lonely boy" and seeking death or sensationalism for gratification. The singer is portrayed as a twisted individual who craves the spotlight and thrives on the chaos and intensity of their actions, even likening themselves to a celebrity martyr in their own private drama.
The song delves further into the singer's warped mindset, as they fantasize about being like soldiers on screen and romanticize the idea of being a celebrity martyr. The references to "Viva Vendetta" and "World War Zero" blur the lines between love, war, and fame, highlighting the singer's distorted values and glorification of violence. The repeated notion of being "Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier" underscores the destructive influences that have shaped the singer's psyche, leading them down a dangerous path of seeking validation through destructive means.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bang!" by I.C. Green paint a chilling portrait of a disturbed individual driven by a desperate hunger for fame, even if it means resorting to violence and manipulation. The song serves as a poignant commentary on the toxic allure of celebrity culture and the destructive consequences of seeking validation through destructive and harmful actions.
