Hundred Days
The Bengsons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want
A hundred days
Of bright light

A hundred days
You're my man
Of bright light
Away, away

HEY

We are young
We meet for the first time

The first time

We look up and find we've never had it any better

And when we find
He'll never get better

We build the world and fight the time

I will never die
I make America
I, I am a universe
I, I'll never go away

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I am a universe
I, I'm your man
I'll never go away
Away away HEY

You say no
You don't believe us

We'll break the hearts and say goodbye

You will never die

I want
A hundred days
Of bright light

Hey Hey away
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

A hundred days
You're my man
Of bright light
Away away HEY

I make America
I want
I, I am a universe
A hundred days
I, I'll never go away
Of bright light
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey Hey away
I am a universe
A hundred days
I, I'm your man
You're my man
I'll never go away
Of bright light
Away away

We are stars
We can burn forever
Before we're gone
Before we're gone

BANG BANG BANG!

Never coming back again
Kiss and wave and
Never coming back again
Nod and smile
Never coming back again
And hug explain and lie
Never coming back again
And bye bye bye bye bye

Never coming back again
Kiss and wave and
Never coming back again
Nod and smile
Never coming back again
And hug explain and lie
Never coming back again
And bye bye
I'll hold all of the shards That make her whole

On and on
On and on

I'll hold all of the shards that make her

I want
A hundred days
Of bright lights

A hundred days
You're my man
Of bright light
Away away HEY

I make America
I want
I, I am a universe
A hundred days
I, I'll never go away
Of bright light
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey Hey away
I am a universe
A hundred days
I, I'm your man
You're my man
I'll never go away
Of bright light
Away away




A way
Hey

Overall Meaning

The song "Hundred Days" by The Bengsons is an emotional and passionate expression of the desire to experience love and happiness. The repeated phrase "A hundred days of bright light" is a symbol of the desire for a period of time, a moment in which everything is perfect and illuminated, and nothing can overshadow it. The song also talks about the excitement of young love, the feeling of invincibility that comes with it, and the desire to build a perfect world together.


The lyrics also touch on the fear of loss and the fragility of relationships. The lines "We'll break the hearts and say goodbye / You will never die" shows the anxiety about the possibility of separation, but also the hope that even if the relationship ends, the feelings and memories will still be alive.


The repeated use of the words "I am a universe" and "I make America" suggest that the song is about more than just one relationship, but about the desire to create something bigger, to be a part of something grand and meaningful. The song culminates in the powerful refrain of "I'll never go away" expressing the desire for eternal love and happiness.
