Bang!
Ofln - AJR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
So I got an apartment across from the park
Put quinoa in my fridge, still I'm not feelin' grown
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due
Do my password begin with a one or a two?
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Metronome)
Man, I'm up to something (up to something), ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
Thank you all for comin' (all for coming), I hope you like the show
'Cause it's on a budget, so ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
Yeah, come on here we go, yeah, come on (here we go)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!)
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Here we go)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang (come hang)
Let's go out with a bang
(Bang! Bang! Bang!)
(Here we go)
(Bang! Bang!)
The lyrics to "Bang!" by AJR convey a sense of restlessness and a desire for change. The singer begins by expressing a sense of energy and excitement, symbolized by jumping around. However, they acknowledge that they have reached a point in their life where they feel the need to grow and move on. The apartment they describe and the presence of quinoa in the fridge are symbolic of maturity and responsibility, yet they still feel unfulfilled. This leads them to conclude that it's time for a new chapter, to "go out with a bang."
Throughout the song, there is a theme of putting on a façade. The mention of putting your best face on and pretending to know the song suggests a need to conform and fit into societal expectations. This could indicate a longing for authenticity and a rejection of superficiality. The chorus reflects a mixture of resignation and determination, acknowledging that the singer is too young to stay stagnant but too old to keep trying without progress.
Overall, "Bang!" explores themes of restlessness, the search for meaning and growth, and the tension between conforming to societal expectations and embracing authenticity. It encourages listeners to embrace change and take brave steps towards a more fulfilling life.
