Add to this Ben Shemie's breathy, paranoid sing/speak, and there are times that it seems like Suuns are about to drive over a sonic cliff. But there's actually a great sense of restraint at play. We were enveloped in Suuns' dark and thrilling post-punk from the first listen, never to return.

Bambi
Suuns Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some say once we were dreaming
And in..your name in the stones
Hey be and see in the deep
Just to get the..

..the story
Is it the forgive..from before
..and I see in a day

And never write it up.

To want to, can't you feel,
They can't you see?
To want, can't you see?
Baby.

..see in the heaven
Yeah I'm sure, 'cause when she was young
Hey and I'll be and I see in the deep
There was no heaven..

Listen on and looking for a letter
Looking on when she was
Hey and I'll be and I see in the deep
There was no heaven..

To want to can't you feel
Maybe can you see?
To want can't you see ?
Maybe they be.

Do you want to share
Do you want to share
Do you want to.. share
Do you want to ..want to share
Do you want to, want to share
Do you want to, want to share

DO you want to, want to see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Suuns’ song Bambi are cryptic and somewhat difficult to decipher, as they contain fragmented thoughts and pieces of imagery that are not always fully formed. The song appears to be about a dream or a memory, and the singer speaks of an entity called “Bambi” who may represent a lost love or a longed-for ideal. The lyrics contain many phrases that are unfinished or cut off, which gives the impression of something half-remembered or lost.

The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer and “Bambi” were once dreaming together, and that they shared a connection that is now gone. The line “in your name in the stones” may refer to some kind of memorial or monument, as though the singer is recalling a time when they visited a special place with “Bambi.” The chorus of the song seems to be an appeal to “Bambi,” asking them to open up and share their feelings with the singer: “Do you want to share? Do you want to…want to share?”

Overall, the song has a mournful and dreamlike quality, with hazy imagery and an almost hypnotic rhythm. The words seem to suggest a longing for something that has been lost, and a yearning to reconnect with a past that is fading away.
