Bushwacka
Layo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's misspent
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes
Oh, where is my angel eyes
Excuse me while I disappear
The lyrics of Layo's song Bushwacka describe the internal struggles of a person who is unable to move on from a lost love. The song's opening lines say, "I try to think that love's not around, but it's uncomfortably near." This indicates that the person is attempting to convince themselves that they are over their previous relationship, but is failing to do so. Later in the song, the lyrics mention "angel eyes", which is a reference to the alluring and captivating appearance of the lost love. The singer's heart is not healing because they are still consumed by the memory of their ex-partner.
The emotions in this song are relatable to many people who have gone through a similar experience of heartbreak. The struggle to move on, the inability to forget the previous lover, and the desire to run away from the situation are all common experiences for those who have experienced a broken relationship. The lyrics of the song make the listener feel as if they are experiencing the same emotions as the singer.

When I lived in London I had the privilege of seeing these guys in their club The End a couple of times and it was always just something else. What a time to be alive!

Best Club in London that was. Don't get clubs like that in London now. The Clubbing scene has changed so much in London...its not even worth going out!
