Bambi Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jake]
I swear to God, I wasn't born to fight
Maybe just a little bit, enough to make me sick of it
But I-I-I-I can read between the lines
I want to run from everything
But my legs won't work, it's clear to me
[Chorus: Jake]
I-I-I-I haven't been much myself
And I feel like my friends are being put through this hell I'm feeling
I think that I'm living, if you could call it living
So brash and unforgiving
Ruled by the vibe I'm bringing
Serving myself
Serving myself
[Verse 2: Jake]
The timing's poor I know it's never right
It's hard to see this time of night
Hard to know the reasons why I fucked it up again
Still, I breathe a sigh
It doesn't seem so lucky now
Maybe I can figure out why-y-y-y
[Chorus: Jake]
I haven't been much myself
And I feel like my friends are being put through this hell I'm feeling
I think that I'm living, if you could call it living
So brash and unforgiving
Ruled by the vibe I'm bringing
Serving myself
Serving myself
[Interlude]
[Outro: Jake]
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now, to where I got to be
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
I'll be making my own way now, to where I got to be
(I-I-I-I haven't been much myself)
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
(And I feel like my friends are being put through this hell I'm feeling)
I'll be making my own way now to where I got to be
(I think that I'm living, if you could call it living)
Wait and see, I'll be making my own way now
(So brash and unforgiving)
I'll be making my own way now to where I got to be
(Ruled by the vibe I'm bringing)
Serving myself
Serving myself

What did Hippo Campus say about "Bambi"?
“Bambi” was the last song added to the record and potentially the most elusive. We wrote the original idea in our practice space with a drum machine, op-1, guitar and rhodes. We sat with session for several months before we had the major melodic breakthroughs. The lyrics deal with the challenges of...
Has anyone in the band commented on why they chose the title "Bambi?"
My Aunt Bambi has this lakehouse in Wisconsin kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Since the band started, we’d go out there for writing retreats. It was always like a therapeutic trip, as well. It’s always been a special place for us. [Bambi] was a working title that just kind of stuck.

Did the band have some pressure from their label to release a single?
Yes, Nathan Stocker explained this to Scene Magazine:
We were being pushed by our label, and people we were working with to give them an entry point to the record. Something that was like the single or the accessible song that makes sense and ties the whole record together. We were like, ‘Fuck you...
