Bully Lyrics

It's 8 AM, this hell I'm in
Seems I've crossed a line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones and throw your stones
We all know that life ain't fair
But there's more of us we're everywhere

We don't have to take...

    It's an anthem not just to the bullied, but also to the bullies themselves. Letting the bullied know they aren't alone and that they can stand proud as who they are while bringing awareness to bullies that, regardless of their reasons, being bullied hurts and in some cases can lead to suicide.

    Basically, being bullied is the worst thing to happen to a child. I got bullied a lot and listening to this song made me fight back like the bad girl I am. Shinedown is saying that no matter how badly that person is treating you, don’t be afraid to fight back.

    Bully is a song that condones survival. If the bully pushes you push them back, don't take it. Don't let the bully think they are allowed to treat you like however you are treated. Stand up for yourself and survive their attacks.

    This song is about standing up to the bullies and not let them get in the way of your life. The last word it shows in the music video is "Survive." Don't let bullying end you; be stronger than the bullies.

    we have a right not to be bullied even if it means standing up for ourselves.
