Bullet
moe. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are all waiting
For the main event

Would you recognize it
If it came to you in the middle of the night?
Would you recognize it
If it jumped up and bit you in the ass?
We are all waiting
For the main event

Would you recognize it
If it came to you in the middle of your back swing?
Would you recognize it
If it came speeding like a bullet from a gun?

Would you recognize it
If it came to you in the middle of the night?
Would you recognize it
If it jumped up and bit you in the ass?

Would you recognize it
When it came across town in a Ford Econoline?




Would you recognize it
If it came speeding like a bullet from a gun?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to moe.'s song "Bullet" present the idea that we are all waiting for a significant event in our lives, one that has the potential to change everything. The repetition of the phrase "We are all waiting for the main event" creates a sense of anticipation and expectation, while also emphasizing the idea that this event is something that everyone is waiting for.


The song then poses the question of whether we would recognize this event if it were to happen suddenly and unexpectedly. The line "Would you recognize it if it came to you in the middle of the night?" suggests that the event may not come in a predictable or conventional way and may require attentiveness and awareness to identify it.


The next line, "If it jumped up and bit you in the ass?" adds a sense of urgency and hazard to the scenario, implying that the event could be painful or dangerous but also necessary. The subsequent lines extend the same theme of unpredictability, culminating in the final line where the event is likened to a bullet speeding from a gun, which adds an element of violence and finality to the idea.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that while we all may be waiting for something significant to happen, we may not necessarily recognize it when it does happen, and it may not come in a convenient or safe way.
