In Cleveland, Ohio, a new group of titans are emerging and are equally as dominating. However, the Greeks are not the only ones with their set of titans. Commanding and powerful, their stories have set the ideal standard for dominance. Have a Twitter? Follow a Tumblr? Follow sundayjamsessions !įor centuries, many have been captivated with myths of the Greek titans. Sometimes that’s all you need out of a song. Instead it is a culmination of feelings and stories expressed vividly in a few chords and words. It’s not sad, it’s not joyful in reality it’s not one singular emotion. [Lyrics pulled from The delicate balance of anger, honesty, and hope produced in “Bullet” creates a real life love song that’s far from the easy going fairytales we’re told. I said, As long as you’re here then, together I can die alone. Take the time to read these lines over a few times. There’s great value in going back to repeat yourself. Not to mention that it flawlessly takes the emotional turmoil of losing control and makes it tangible by using the analogy of losing control of you car. Tying the second verse back in to the first verse with a car theme really rounds out the song, consistency wise. Still a common thread remains: picturesque or not, there’s a longing for togetherness. Then to go and call yourself “the last generation of hope” just because your love is honest instead of picturesque. Giving up on something better just to not run from a “devil in disguise” for once. Personally, I think the latter is what Antonoff is trying to get at while still acknowledging the potential of treating someone as if they are disposable. Although there is a fine line between deliberately using somebody and using someone to compliment you. You may call it right, wrong, or selfish, but it’s true. People use others to fill the little gaps of what is missing from themselves. Even though contextually this is negative, considering the action is being compared to thievery, it’s not necessarily a negative action. How both parties, whether they realize it or not, “take what want when need”. Yet again Antonoff punches the listener with an accurate assessment of romance. Like a bullet, a bullet, a bullet into the night If you have, the feeling you get from making it out of that grey area is just as powerful as Antonoff shouting “I swear I’ll never let go”. ![]() It’s a subtle way to express that despite the frustration we may have towards a person, when it’s all said and done, we just want them to be there.Ĭonfusion is a wonderful state of mind, isn’t it? Have you ever been so confused as to why you’re sticking around for all the illogical reasons? When “sticking around” is more like being a silent third party? No? God bless. What are you not afraid of? Oh, to turn around and see you by my side? How sweet. #Jam session fullLyrically speaking, the first two lines are phrased in a way that’s full of frustration and are almost fighting words. I felt pretty when they turned out the lights”, to soften the overall tone. Just in time for “…to see you by my side. Instead, the drums fade to a sweet rhythm as the guitar vibrates out sharp, simple chords accompanied by the delicate sound of the xylophone. As Antonoff sings “take what you want from me, I’m not afraid to turn around…”, the manic pounding of the drums insinuates that Antonoff is about to introduce a set of strong power chords backed by more thunderous sound. I absolutely adore how there is a balance between pure aggression and vulnerability right here not only musically, but also lyrically. I felt pretty when they turned out the lights Which is neat because something as common as riding in the back seat of a car became a turning point, romantically. That somewhere between car rides and daily life, it took a short twelve years to fall in love with someone. How can a deceptively short road be described as “ten years and two more”? Maybe I’m oblivious, but it took me a few listens to get what Jack Antonoff really meant. ![]() The first lines always threw me through a loop when I originally listened to this song. I fell in love in the back seat of your car I figured if I couldn’t get it out of my head that it would serve a better purpose on the World Wide Web. Mostly because it’s been stuck in my head for the past two weeks. ![]() Today we will be breaking down “Bullet” by Steel Train. However, it’s time to shift gears again and dive into another lyric dissection. Happy Sunday, Jammers! I hope you’ve been enjoying the awesome bands that have been featured lately. ![]()
