Bump in the Night
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling Self-Reflection in 'Bump in the Night'
Lyrics
I blame my self-love
I attribute responsibility to my self-centeredness or self-regard.
And the drinks at the bar
I hold accountable the alcoholic beverages consumed at the bar.
I blame settling for less
I fault myself for accepting something of lower quality than I deserve.
We've been pushed too far
We have been pressured or manipulated beyond acceptable limits.
I blame the quick fix
I attribute blame to the pursuit of instant solutions or remedies.
Enough is never enough
No matter how much is obtained, it's never sufficient.
I blame the reality
I hold responsible the truth or state of things as they really are.
Sex has gone and replaced love
Intimate physical relationships have supplanted genuine love.
Bump, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
A rhythmic expression - 'Bump' sound or representing an obstacle in the night.
Ba-ba, bump in the night
An obstruction or disturbance occurring during the nighttime.
I blame my self-love
I attribute responsibility to my self-centeredness or self-regard (repeated line).
And wishin' 'pon a star
I fault myself for relying on wishes or dreams that might not come true.
I blame the meds
I attribute blame to the medications I consume excessively.
I swallow by the jar
I fault myself for consuming large quantities of prescribed medication.
I blame the time
I hold responsible the era or period we are currently experiencing.
That we're livin' in
I fault the reality that I tend to yield or submit easily.
I blame the fact
I attribute blame to the fact or truth that I am prone to giving in or surrendering.
I'm one to give in
(This line is blank in the lyrics)
Bump, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
A rhythmic expression - 'Bump' sound or representing an obstacle in the night (repeated line).
Ba-ba, bump in the night
An obstruction or disturbance occurring during the nighttime (repeated line).
