Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Bankrobber” by Audioweb
“Bankrobber” by Audioweb is an intense and powerful rap-rock song about someone who is fed up and has chosen to rob a bank as a way to take control of his fate. The lyrics discuss the sense of freedom and adrenaline associated with the risk of the act, while also recognizing the consequences of this extreme measure. The narrator speaks of the irony that life is so hard and that the only way to survive is to go to the extreme of breaking the law. The chorus is a defiant statement of pride, with the narrator declaring that he will make this act work for him. The bridge of the song brings in a spoken-word part in which the narrator recognizes that, though illegal, the act was out of necessity and he wasn’t proud of it but could not back down. This song is ultimately about standing up to society and the difficult choices one needs to make in order to survive.
