about

With A Bang sounds like the theme song from a spy film. It's about two ex-lovers who are out for revenge. With a neo-western, disco-twang stomp, it explores the feeling of short and cataclysmic, quick-burn relationships; those that are doomed from the very start. The song celebrates them as spontaneous, messy, chaotic fun.

lyrics

I blew you a kiss
You blew me away
I taught you to hunt
You made me the prey
Lips like venom
Always leaving me drained
I’m crawling back
Looking somewhat deranged
Can’t find the lock
Must we really be chained?
No matter what they try
We can’t be tamed

You say it wouldn’t be this way forever
But now it’s clear that it doesn't stop
You keep on saying’ now or never
I’ll be waiting here till I drop
Now the final act is up
Of the terminal lovers

So let’s go out with a bang (bang)
Let’s go out with a bang (bang)
llt’s go out with a bang (bang)

At each other throats
With a bloody bouquet
Love is the drug
And we medicate
Always gotta be right
Make problems larger than life
Rattled and ready to fight
Bringing out my dramatic side!
He’s got a few loose screws
She obsessed with her blues
They got opposing views
Celebrating nothing to lose


You say it wouldn’t be this way forever
But now it’s clear that it doesn't stop
You keep on saying’ now or never
I’ll be waiting here till I drop
Now the final act is up
Of the terminal lovers

So let’s go out with a bang (bang)
Let’s go out with a bang (bang)
Let’s go out with a bang (bang)

Go ahead take a bite
Surviving purely out of spite
One last prick of your fangs
If that’s all there is
Let’s go out with a bang!

So let’s go out with a bang (bang)
Let’s go out with a bang (bang)
Let’s go out with a bang
Bang, bang, yeah
