About This Track

‘Bully’ by Bully is a 2015 alternative track from the album ‘Feels Like’. The lyrics frame an inner struggle, with the speaker resisting a force described as a “beast” and pushing back against domination in personal terms, claiming agency over their own control. There is also an adversarial, face-to-face menace in the language, as if intimidation is set to steal confidence and status. Amid the panic, the vocal stance reads as defiant, insisting that the bully will not get its way.

"Bully" is a track by Bully, from the album Feels Like, released 1st June 2015. The track is 2:25 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Bully.

Lyrics

Bully

I know it's out of my control
But I can't let out a beast that
A beast that lives inside of me

And I'm not your waterboy
I don't wanna be on your team
That's exactly what my bully says
When he's standin' face to face with me

And when I try and tell him
No not today
Steals my crown
Once again I cave

My mind keeps up
Headphones slip up
He's comin' around
I can't feel him now

And I'm not your waterboy
I don't wanna be on your team
That's exactly what my bully says
When he's standin' face to face with me

And when I try and tell him
No not today
Steals my crown
Once again I cave
I cave

There's a place for a beast like you
Not in my head
Get outta my head
Oh calm down bully!
Calm down
Calm down bully!
Calm down

    Alex Lahey’s second album widened its pop-punk frame through changed structures, tunings and instrumental colour, while keeping everyday uncertainty at its centre.
