Bang
Jon Waltz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I take a couple L's
I take some downers with them
I up a couple uppers
Now they are clowning with us
I get a pool of liquor
Now people drowning with us
Memories trying to picture
I'm giving sounds to give 'em
Life in a new meaning and a silhouette had me screaming
And I woke up and I was beating
And I pray to God I was dreaming
And reality hit my scream
And I'm screaming pulling that beam like
[Hook 1]:
Left my home with a dream and a cigarette
My girlfriend say a nigga's dead
Heard that pistol pop-pop, bang-bang
Head leaking on the high rocks, bang-bang
Said I'm leaving so I
Left my home with a dream and a cigarette
My girlfriend say a nigga's dead
Heard that pistol pop-pop, bang-bang
Head leaking on the high rocks, bang-bang
Said I'm leaving
[Verse 2]:
She hides from all the danger
She strains her face with make-up
She loves being stoic, so you couldn't tame her
You didn't take the advice so
Now your advice is trying to claim her
But you couldn't change her
Her bed sheets are made up
But she ain't got no shit to hide, right?
That's super when no kryptonite, right?
She drive it then she get it, right?
Life is just me and never think I'll like
So she'll leave and she probably
[Hook 2]:
Left her home with a dream and a cigarette
My boyfriend say his jigga's dead
Heard that pistol pop-pop, bang-bang
Head leaking on the high rocks, bang-bang
Said she leaving so she
Left her home with a dream and a cigarette
My boyfriend say his jigga's dead
Heard that pistol pop-pop, bang-bang
Head leaking on the high rocks, bang-bang
Said she leaving
[Verse 3]:
I hopped in my sarcophagus
Lunch is filling with toxins
Really not what I used to be
Usually I'm an honest kid
Honestly, lost my honesty
Probably my integrity
Mess with me, pull that thing
And then leave his brains
On the ? and street
[Hook 3]:
Left my home with a dream and a cigarette
My girlfriend say a nigga's dead
Heard that pistol pop-pop-pop
Heard that pistol pop-pop-pop
Bang-bang
The song "Bang" by Jon Waltz narrates the risky and dangerous lifestyle of the artist and his friends. In the first verse, he talks about taking various types of drugs and alcohol, leading to a pool of liquor, drowning people, and hallucinations. However, despite the risks, he still wonders if people would miss him if he died. He admits to finding new meaning in life but also experiences intense fear and confusion, as seen in the line "And reality hit my scream." In the chorus or hook, he describes leaving home with a dream and a cigarette but ultimately hearing gunshots, leading to his friend's head leaking on high rocks, possibly resulting in death. He leaves home, emphasizing the danger of his surroundings.
In the second verse, Jon raps about a woman who loves being stoic and doesn't want to be tamed by anyone. She wears make-up and appears to be hiding something, but the lyrics imply that she was just born to be a rebel. The man who tries to change her is too late, and she is already in love with someone else, leaving with a dream and a cigarette. The third verse is about how the artist is taking drugs and losing his integrity, leading to confronting someone with a gun.

I take a couple L's
I make mistakes
I take some downers with them
I use drugs to cope with my mistakes
I up a couple uppers
I use drugs to feel better
Now they are clowning with us
Now my friends are joining in on the drug use
I get a pool of liquor
I start drinking heavily
Now people drowning with us
Now my friends are also heavily drinking
But if I die because of that, will they still kinda miss us?
If I die from my reckless behavior, will my friends really care?
Memories trying to picture
Trying to recall past experiences
I'm giving sounds to give 'em
I'm trying to create a soundtrack for those memories
Life in a new meaning and a silhouette had me screaming
My new lifestyle has me struggling and feeling lost
And I woke up and I was beating
I wake up in a violent state
And I pray to God I was dreaming
I hope my violent state was just a dream
And reality hit my scream
I come to the realization that it wasn't just a dream
And I'm screaming pulling that beam like
I'm panicking and reaching for a gun
Left my home with a dream and a cigarette
I left home with a goal and a cigarette
My girlfriend say a nigga's dead
My girlfriend informs me that someone has died
Heard that pistol pop-pop, bang-bang
I heard gunshots
Head leaking on the high rocks, bang-bang
Someone has been shot in the head and is now lying on rocks
Said I'm leaving so I
I decided to leave the situation
She hides from all the danger
She avoids anything that could be harmful
She strains her face with make-up
She wears a lot of makeup to hide her true feelings
She loves being stoic, so you couldn't tame her
She enjoys appearing emotionless and untouchable
You didn't take the advice so
You didn't listen to what I told you
Now your advice is trying to claim her
You're now trying to give me advice
But you couldn't change her
You can't make her change
Her bed sheets are made up
Her bed appears untouched
But she ain't got no shit to hide, right?
She doesn't have any secrets, does she?
That's super when no kryptonite, right?
That's great, unless something bad happens
She drive it then she get it, right?
She goes after what she wants
Life is just me and never think I'll like
I feel like my life isn't going the way I want it to
So she'll leave and she probably
She'll end up leaving me
I hopped in my sarcophagus
I become isolated and shut myself off from the world
Lunch is filling with toxins
I'm eating unhealthy, poisonous food
Really not what I used to be
I'm not the same person I was before
Usually I'm an honest kid
I'm normally truthful
Honestly, lost my honesty
I've become dishonest
Probably my integrity
My morals and values are probably compromised
Mess with me, pull that thing
If someone messes with me, I'll reach for a gun
And then leave his brains
I'm willing to kill if necessary
On the ? and street
In the middle of the road
Heard that pistol pop-pop-pop
I heard gunshots multiple times
Bang-bang
The sound of gunfire
