Constantly
Whizz, Pop, Bang: Unraveling the 4th of July in Miles Kane's Constantly
Lyrics
Driver, stop, turn this cab around
Expressing a desire to change direction in a vehicle
'Cause I hear the sound
Hearing the call of someone named Bandini
Of Bandini's call and I ain't gonna turn that shit down
Determined not to ignore Bandini's call
Had a few too many with John
Had too much to drink with someone named John
Now the album's done
Completion of an album
I was looking for something, looking for some harmless fun
Searching for something, seeking harmless fun
With just about anyone
Willing to have fun with almost anyone
Then we met in that LA bar with the boujee mood lighting
Meeting someone in a Los Angeles bar with upscale lighting
You stole my heart with your sweet silver lining
Fell in love with someone due to their positive qualities
And before very long, you got into my head
Person's influence getting into the speaker's thoughts
9AM I woke up in your bed
Waking up in the bed of the person mentioned
And now whizz, pop, bang, it's the 4th of July
Describing a lively and explosive atmosphere, possibly a celebration
The fire goes out as fast as it lights
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of excitement
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get out alive
Contemplating how to navigate a challenging situation
My heart's stopped beating, will I ever survive this wave?
Experiencing a metaphorical heart-stopping moment
I sing my favorite Italian songs
Singing favorite Italian songs throughout the night
All night long
Extended enjoyment of Italian songs
To stop me from talkin' 'bout shit I just don't understand
Using music to avoid discussing incomprehensible topics
Nel blu di pinto di blu
Referencing a famous Italian song "Nel blu dipinto di blu"
Makes me think of you
Associating the song with thoughts of someone special
So I put on my suit, polished up my best shoes and went to
Dressing up and heading to Echo Park Avenue
Echo Park Avenue
No specific meaning provided
Then we met in that LA bar with the boujee mood lighting
Reiteration of meeting in an LA bar with unique lighting
You stole my heart with your sweet silver lining
Reiteration of falling in love due to positive qualities
And before very long, you got into my head
Reiteration of the person's influence entering the speaker's thoughts
9AM I woke up in your bed
Reiteration of waking up in the person's bed
And now whizz, pop, bang, it's the 4th of July
Describing a vibrant and explosive atmosphere, possibly a celebration
The fire goes out as fast as it lights
Highlighting the transient nature of excitement
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get out alive
Contemplating how to survive a challenging situation
My heart's stopped beating, will I ever survive this wave?
Experiencing a metaphorical heart-stopping moment again
Why do I find myself here? Ooh
Pondering the reason for being in a certain situation
Why do I find myself here?
Repetition of questioning one's current state
Constantly
Expressing a sense of being in a constant state or repeating situation
