Bang Bang is a song steeped in uncertainty about the future. It is about the main struggle that makes the music business seem like such an uphill climb: actually breaking out and being ‘noticed’ by the right person. At almost every performance, nearly every day, there is someone who believes they have the secret weapon to success or the “silver bullet,” as the song mentions. The reality is that few rarely do, but that’s not to say that their advice isn’t valuable - every opinion is important. We would never have grown as a band if we weren’t open to advice and critique. I suppose I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to never take for granted any advice from a stranger, good or bad. Anyone could be holding the keys to the kingdom - we must always be willing to allow them to unlock the gate.
Lyrics
Too old to cry, too young to be wise
Too sharp for this town, too dull to cut ties
Too little too late too soon
Too much attitude for you
Oh, here it comes, the silver bullet
Oh, here it comes, bang, bang!
You’ll never see it coming, nothing more that I can say
You’re just a dog in the manger, playing dream keepaway
Too bitter to swallow, too rough of a pill
Too tough to follow, but somebody will
The road too long, the path too winding
The band too loud, the lights too blinding!
Oh, here it comes, the silver bullet
Oh, here it comes, bang, bang!
You’ll never see it coming, there’s nothing more I can say
You’re just a dog in the manger, Playing dream keepaway
Oh, here it comes, the silver bullet
Oh, here it comes, bang, bang!
Too soon to quit, too late to go back
Too quick to catch, too slow to react
Never a sure shot, always a near miss
Maybe I’m not made for this
Oh, but here it comes, the silver bullet
Oh, here it comes, bang, bang!
You’ll never see it coming, there’s nothing more I can say
You’re just a dog in the manger, bang bang
