Rob A Bank
Confetti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Uh, would I be crazy if I thought the world was fake?
A game of simulation aliens play from outer space
The players pick their religion
That's what starts the competition
Could be stupid 'cause I watch too many movies
Maybe work is weighing heavy on my mind
Maybe I'm just sick and tired of doing the same shit every time
Wanna try a new position maybe flip a 69 Don't want a doctor tellin' me that I'm insane man

I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Spread the money through the streets (through the streets, through the streets)
Walk up to a stranger screaming stick 'em up freeze (up freeze)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think
I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Fuck around and make a scene (make a scene, make a scene)
Make the most wanted on TV, yeah that's me (that's me)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think

Awesome

Who's to say that I can't break into your house
While you're working
I'm just lurking through your bedroom like a mouse
Gettin' naked on your sofa wearing just
Your penny loafers
Take some pictures leave 'em by your dirty dishes
Back your Rover down the driveway
Drive it down the highway
Fly that mother fucker off a bridge
Buy some drugs, sell some drugs
Buy a gun just because
I don't want anyone to think that I'm a bitch

I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Spread the money through the streets (through the streets, through the streets)
Walk up to a stranger screaming stick 'em up freeze (up freeze)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think
I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Fuck around and make a scene (make a scene, make a scene)
Make the most wanted on TV, yeah that's me (that's me)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think

Ooh would I need to dream
If I had self esteem
'Cause when you life's like a movie
You can do anything
I wanna rob a bank (I wanna rob a bank baby)
Spread the money through the streets (spread the money to the streets baby)
Walk up to a stranger screaming stick 'em up freeze

I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Spread the money through the streets (through the streets, through the streets)
Walk up to a stranger screaming stick 'em up freeze (up freeze)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think
I wanna rob a bank (rob a bank, rob a bank)
Fuck around and make a scene (make a scene, make a scene)

Make the most wanted on TV, yeah that's me (that's me)
But I'm too worried 'bout what other people think

Overall Meaning

The Confetti song "Rob A Bank" is a dark and sarcastic exploration of the singer's desire to break free from their mundane life and societal expectations. The opening lyrics suggest a possible existential crisis, questioning whether the world is even real and if our lives are all just part of a game played by extraterrestrial observers. The singer implies a sense of disillusionment with the world around them, going so far as to suggest they are feeling weighed down by the monotony of their daily routine. The idea of experimentation and rule-breaking is presented in the following lines, with the desire to try something new and exciting symbolized by the suggestion of a sexual position change.

The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "I wanna rob a bank," represents the ultimate break from conformity and the constraints of society. The singer is willing to commit a crime and take a bold action that could land them in jail, something that many would consider extreme. However, the singer is held back by their concern for what others might think of them, highlighting the power that societal expectations can have over our actions.

As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly absurd and dark. The singer describes breaking into someone's house and taking pictures of their naked body, stealing their car, and even driving it off a bridge. The idea of drugs and guns is also present, further emphasizing the dangerous and rebellious nature of the singer's desires.

Overall, "Rob A Bank" is a provocative and thought-provoking exploration of the human desire for rebellion and escape from the monotony of everyday life. The song highlights the power of societal expectations and our deep-seated fears of what others might think of us, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of what is considered socially acceptable.
