Bambie Thug

Doomsday Blue

Follow them on:

Cork-born alt disruptor Bambie Thug is smashing through gender and socio-political stereotypes to create an era-defining sound that borders on elements of pop, rock, electronic and more.

Self-coining the term ‘Ouija-pop’ to describe their sound, Bambie Thug has made serious waves with a series of genre-defying singles and a critically acclaimed EP CATHEXIS .

Doomsday Blue is about the feeling of having your potential overlooked, and is an ode to the queer community.

No stranger to the big stage, Bambie has torn up festival stages across the world including Download Festival, The Great Escape and Trans Musicales, to much critical acclaim.

Lyrics to Doomsday Blue

Avada Kadavra I speak to destroy The feelings I have I cannot avoid Through twisted tongues A hex deployed on you That all the pretties in your bed Escape your hands and make you sad And all the things you wish you had you lose I, I, I know you’re living a lie I, I, I see the scars in your eyes I, I, I know you’re living a lie I, I, I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon I guess I always overestimate you Hoodoo all the things that you do I’m down down in my Doomsday blue (I, I, I know you’re living a lie) (I, I, I know you’re living a lie) Avada Kadavra The thoughts in my head The places I touch when lying in bed The visions of you the words that you said Undo My heartbeat buried in the ground And to the strings I bind you’re bound So when you sleep you’ll hear my sound (cuckoo) I, I, I know you’re living a lie I, I, I see the scars in your eyes I, I, I know you’re living a lie I, I, I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon I guess I always overestimate you Hoodoo all the things that you do I’m down down in my Doomsday blue I guess you’d rather have a star than the moon I guess I always overestimate you Hoodoo all the things that you do I’m down down in my Doomsday blue For your romance I’d beg steal and borrow It’s draining me hollow You-ooooh You could slow dance me Out of my sorrow But your favourite colour Compared to the others is doom Doomsday blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Blue Avada Kadavra I speak to destroy!
