For example, I googled Bang Bang song lyrics interpretation.
Song Meanings gave me the full lyrics.
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
âRemember when we used to play?â
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now heâs gone, I donât know why
And 'til this day, sometimes I cry
He didnât even say goodbye
He didnât take the time to lie
Hereâs the interpretation I like: I think that the fact that its a game in the beginning is because itâs explaining the innocence of the temptation to false happiness at first sight. Itâs easy to think that it was true happiness that you found, but it was always wrong, hence the fact that it âShot her down.â
The second verse has the main character completely entranced by this falsified happiness, even though the devil (being the boy) reminds her that sheâs been âshot downâ by these feelings before.
The next verse reads that church bells rang only for her. While I really like the way that people interpret this as the groom leaving the main character, I think itâs something different. One of the only times a church bell will ring for you and you alone is a funeral.
So what I think has happened is that when the main character dies in the song, she finally realizes that sheâs been living with false happiness her entire life, and that in death, thereâs no comforting voice to âtake the time to lie.â And so after all this, the character is shot down once again.
I found out that most other language moderators do not add lyrics when there is dialogue, and itâs mostly English moderators who include them when thereâs space in the segment. Once the English is there, I think the other languages then have the option to include them or not. Some languages require way more space to convey a meaning.
