Bennett Coast – Bender Lyrics
[Chorus] Last night sucked I got drunk, started a fight Got fucked up Won't pick up all your FaceTimes Making love Vacant love with a black eye Losing touch Changing up, what's that feel like? [Verse 1] In your truck You took me home D-day in the morning Ash on my clothes Press your luck 'Til it explodes Thought he was my friend Don't say that again [Chorus] Last night sucked I got drunk, started a fight Got fucked up Won't pick up all your FaceTimes Making love Vacant love with a black eye Losing touch Changing up, what's that feel like? [Bridge] Don't you find this place plain? This town drives me insane I'm waiting for a change There's nothing here for me [Verse 2] Putting makeup on Cover up my facial flaws Since a little one I been putting makeup on Thought that I was strong Got arrested on your lawn Thought that I was wrong You could say that [Chorus] Last night sucked I got drunk, started a fight Got fucked up Won't pick up all your FaceTimes Making love Vacant love with a black eye Losing touch Changing up, what's that feel like? [Bridge] My friends shit talk my friends It's all out of control Your friends shit talk my friends It's all getting so old I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alive [Outro] These are the ups and downs These are the ups and downs The hand I was dealt No one to run to now, I know These are the ups and downs I know what I feel And what I got into now, I know These are the ups and downs These are the ups and downs These are the ups and These are the ups and downs
Explanation of Bender Lyrics
Bender is a song by the artist Bennett Coast. The lyrics depict a story of a night filled with negative experiences, emotions, and self-reflection. Let’s break down the lyrics section by section:
[Chorus]
The chorus sets the overall theme of the song, focusing on the negative aspects of a recent night:
- “Last night sucked, I got drunk, started a fight”: The protagonist had a bad experience, likely due to alcohol-induced behavior, which led to a confrontation with someone.
- “Got fucked up, won’t pick up all your FaceTimes”: The protagonist is feeling disconnected from someone, refusing to answer their video calls.
- “Making love, vacant love with a black eye”: The reference to “vacant love” suggests a shallow or unfulfilling romantic relationship that has resulted in emotional or even physical pain.
- “Losing touch, changing up, what’s that feel like?”: The protagonist is going through changes and uncertainties in life, leading to feelings of disconnection and confusion.
[Verse 1]
This verse appears to narrate a specific incident from the night before:
- “In your truck, you took me home, D-day in the morning, ash on my clothes”: The protagonist went home with someone in their truck, and the morning after, there’s a sense of regret or aftermath (“D-day”) and a reference to ashes, which could symbolize a burnt-out or negative experience.
- “Press your luck ’til it explodes, thought he was my friend, don’t say that again”: The protagonist took risks with this person, believing they were a friend, but something happened that made them question that friendship.
[Bridge]
The bridge expresses the protagonist’s dissatisfaction with their current environment:
- “Don’t you find this place plain? This town drives me insane, I’m waiting for a change, there’s nothing here for me”: The protagonist is unhappy with their current location, craving change and feeling like there’s nothing worthwhile for them there.
[Verse 2]
The second verse continues with personal struggles:
- “Putting makeup on, cover up my facial flaws, since a little one, I’ve been putting makeup on”: The protagonist has been using makeup to hide their insecurities or emotional scars since childhood.
- “Thought that I was strong, got arrested on your lawn, thought that I was wrong, you could say that”: Despite trying to appear strong, the protagonist got into trouble on someone’s property, acknowledging their own mistakes.
[Bridge]
The bridge repeats, emphasizing the conflicts between friends and the protagonist’s internal struggle.
[Outro]
The outro concludes the song, expressing acceptance of life’s ups and downs:
- “These are the ups and downs, the hand I was dealt, no one to run to now, I know”: The protagonist acknowledges life’s unpredictability and feels like they have no one to turn to in difficult times.
- “These are the ups and downs, I know what I feel, and what I got into now, I know”: Despite the challenges, the protagonist is coming to terms with their emotions and experiences.
