Girls With Bangs
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause we are safe there
We are girls with bangs
The lyrics of Tiesto's "Girls With Bangs" are quite metaphorical in nature. The line "Under my hair, the rain can't follow us" suggests that the singer is trying to hide themselves, or some aspect of themselves, from the world. They are filtering out anything uncomfortable or unpleasant that may come along with it. The safety they feel under their hair could symbolize comfort or familiarity, which they are trying to hold on to.
The second line, "Cause we are safe there," reinforces the idea of safety and security. It seems that the person the singer is addressing in the song (possibly themselves) is finding refuge in their own identity. The third line, "We are girls with bangs," refers to a physical feature of these girls. This line could mean that these girls are trying to present a specific image to the world, and the safety they feel under their hair is allowing them to maintain that image.
Overall, these lyrics suggest that everyone has a part of themselves that they keep hidden from the rest of the world. Some people may feel more comfortable in their own skin than others, and some people may go to great lengths to protect themselves from the harsh realities of life.

At first - when I bought the album - I was like: "eew... that's no more Tiesto!" Now, having listened to the CD for a couple of times, I am like: "Nice to hear, his style has actually evolved." ____ Summary: This is just one of the great Tracks on that CD! One will only like it, if their taste has evolved in the past years, too.

I totally agree, when my husband and I were really into what was out there back in 99 people literally made fun of us. I used to blast it in my truck and I will never forget a guy that pulled up next to me and was like, "uh, yeah, gotta rave goin on in yer car huh", he thought it was really funny, hmmmmm, seems that techno is everywhere now, and in everything. I absolutely love it, we knew a long time ago what was good and what wasn't, lots of people get to eat big fat CROW now............:):)

This is a great style of music, but i would never get tired of his old style, let us not forget that old tiesto was FAR OUT, with Tiestos - Eternity (not the armmin edit.) one of the greatest songs ever made, Just Be, He is a pirate Summer Jam Beautiful things I will never get tired of his old music!!! I wish he still mixed it up once ina while like he used to, These songs were the definition of trance music
