Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ain't a baby no more baby
You ain't no bigger than before baby
I'll rub that cheap black off your lips baby
So take a swallow as I spit baby
As a fuck son, you sucked [x8]
My skin tonight is a blazing
But I don't think you're my type
What I need tonight's the real thing
I need the real thing tonight
As a fuck son, you sucked [x8]
The bigger the better
Bang bang bang
The bigger the better
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh come on
Yeah yeah yeah
What I need tonight is the real thing yeah!
I need the real thing tonight
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh
Come on alright
The song "Bang" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs is an expressive and energetic rock song that captures the intensity and rawness of a passionate encounter. The chorus of "Bang bang bang the bigger the better" is an infectious chant that is both playful and provocative, underscoring the song's themes of desire and rebellion. The song begins with the lines "You ain't a baby no more baby, You ain't no bigger than before baby," which suggest that the singer is challenging their partner's assumptions about their relationship and their own power. When the singer declares "I'll rub that cheap black off your lips baby, So take a swallow as I spit baby," they are asserting their own dominance and taking control of the situation.
The song's lyrics also suggest a longing for something real and authentic, with the lines "What I need tonight's the real thing, I need the real thing tonight" emphasizing the need for genuine connection and emotion. The repeated refrain of "As a fuck son, you sucked" is an abrasive and confrontational statement that seems to reject the idea of casual or superficial relationships. Overall, "Bang" is a powerful and evocative song that captures the complexity and intensity of human desire.
