Bully - Trying Lyrics






Oh I can't get out
Invisible handcuffs locked on me
Been praying for my period all week
And relief that I just can't see
I question everything
My focus, my figure, my sexuality
And how much it matters or why it would mean anything
I can't keep it together
I've been better
I've been thinking about it every night

I'm trying, I am
I'm trying, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying trying
Why am I

I'm trying, I am
I'm trying, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying, trying
Why am I...?

If it counts for anything
I didn't want to
I'm just looking for clarity
To help me get through
If you're set in your ways
What can I do, Ease up
So that I can break it down for you can't
Feed a beast you
Leave unleashed it'll
Come right back to you
I'm trying

Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying all the time, I am
Trying to hide from my mind, I am
Trying, trying
Why am I...?
Why am I?
Why why?
Why am I?

Bully Trying Comments
  1. G.... B....

    Internet logic: if you have a raspy voice you sound like Kurt or Courtney.

  2. D.... A....

    *¡ME ENCANTAAAAAAAAA!*

  3. A.... H....

    Hi. I'm a recovering crack head, this is my retarded sister that I take care of. I'd like some welfare please.

  4. S.... ....

    Looks and sounds like a ‘90s grunge song.

  5. M.... M....

    This would’ve been considered the greatest in 1991

  6. T.... S....

    Since everyone is mentioning the Pixies I'll remind you that the Breeders exist. Came here from Dilly Dally songs...

  7. T.... F....

    Wonderful. Gonna have to check out their other stuff

  8. S.... S....

    Alicia te amo descubri que tengo un Dios, vos ya no sos mi Diosa te amo ¿ya te lo dije? así que reite de mí no me importa.

  9. S.... ....

    watching Alicia Bognanno in centripetal force is beautiful

  10. M.... ....

    Are you trying to turn me on 😤😤😤

  11. 2.... g....

    this feels retro.

  12. I.... V....

    Is it me or does she kinda sound like Tommy pickles and nostalgia?

  13. H.... S....

    Definitely brings me back to my college days 91-93. So much good music, this is refreshing!

  14. S.... K....

    Billboard Music!!!! Watch this out
    This is called music.... not like what you put 🤘🤘

  15. I.... W....

    Gawddamn I love Alicia so much.

  16. p.... k....

    They sound like Veruca Salt!

  17. J.... D....

    This isn't bad or anything, but why are people comparing this woman with Kurt Cobain so much? I don't really hear it.

    J.... D....

    It's about the music style, not Kurt so much. It has a definite "grunge" influence and a 90's power-pop vibe with super catchy riffs. And she sounds a bit like Courtney to some people (I think she's about 1,000 times better). She has the growl scream thing down.

  18. R.... B....

    No matter what generation you are from the formula will always be a Pixies structure....but this is damn good.

  19. A.... B....

    "I'm TRYING to hit this note."

  20. K.... P....

    Super 90’s Grunge vibe!!! Epic!!!

  21. C.... P....

    Gg’s kiddo

  22. G.... A....

    there’s no flawless education it’s just a stupid college degree

  23. L.... ....

    Man I'm so tired of people citing Nirvana and bloody grunge when a band make a sound with loud guitars and a bit of screaming. Does this song have a 90s sound to it? yes. does it sound like Nirvana? nope. grunge? (which was a musical movement, not a style/genre btw) definitely not. other 90s alternative bands that people who only listened to nirvana and pear jam couldn't possibly know? maybe. And please, don't recommend Wolf Alice because of the average Moaning Lisa Smile, might confuse people if they pick up the very good 'My Love is Cool' to listen to.

    L.... ....

    I think you nailed it. Alicia is actually a fucking incredible singer with an incredible voice who just happens to also be able to hit the angst-scream really well, too.

  24. L.... ....

    you're definitely my fav band. please come to brazil, i wanna open your gig!!!

  25. �.... C....

    And....Weezer :))

  26. N.... S....

    This is a perfect song.

  27. P.... ....

    Best song they’ve ever done 👏👏👏🤗🎸⚡️👍🏼🤘🏼😎

  28. C.... ....

    This song is the shit.

  29. K.... a....

    グランジなのかこれ! やっぱ最高だな、グランジって

  30. M.... ....

    Veruca salt on my mind 36 still liking this

  31. K.... B....

    I've been getting bullied from 1st grade and now I'm in 6th grade and things are looking the same i just I'm giving up hope that there's some people that care some are just to scared help people stand up i speak for everyone who is getting bullied Stand up for people you could change someone life if you just help pls

    K.... B....

    yeah, that's the way it is during those years. It sucks. But it gets better after HS, believe me. That shit doesn't happen in college.

  32. s.... ....

    I saw a video of 'Alicia from Bully" in one of Paramore's videos promoting their upcoming show featuring these bands. I'm glad I found this band. So different than the songs these days.

  33. g.... S....

    I love this Song💓

  34. c.... ....

    400 blows i guess

    c.... ....

    That's right...I always wanted to do this 400 Blows reference...I talked about it back in the 90's with Juliana Hatfield...thought about it for the Jawbox "Savory" video (neither of which I got to direct back in the day)...but I psyched to do it for Bully...it was such a pain in the ass to get that "Rotor" ride - there are only a couple in the country...but we did it...at the amusement park in Sylvan Beach, NY

  35. D.... ....

    Man I was gonna go see these guys perform at an in store gig and right before I left home I got real sick and couldn't go because I felt like shit

  36. M.... D....

    JUST WANT I NEED 2 HEAR IN A SONG , HER PERIOD UGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    M.... D....

    He's just singing about her real life, man. I think it's great.

  37. I.... Y....

    I discover the band on 1st June 2018 on 6:17pm asian GMT....

  38. e.... t....

  39. B.... O....

    Great BAND!!!!!!

  40. R.... l....

    I fucking love this band

  41. B.... B....

    I'D BANG SOME DOPE TO THIS

  42. B.... R....

    I LOVE IT!!

  43. B.... S....

    Love this band

  44. C.... D....

    I'm trying

  45. R.... C....

    Sounds like Sheryl Crow meets Debbie Harry via Patti Scialfa at a rock party.

  46. R.... C....

    She's got it hot!

  47. M.... W....

    Bully is an Americam rock band formed in 2013 in Nashville. "Trying" GOOD SONG!!!😉😃😎😆🤔

  48. W.... ....

    Tough times for indie musicians like these ones. Mainstream became less diverse and relies on 7-10 overhyped stars with similar crappy digital sound that have 100 millions views on Youtube. Nobody wants to risk anymore with new indie bands. and people are too lazy to discover new music on their own in loads of crap on internet. Also internet became very monopolized and commercialized. '90s mainstream was very diverse as compared to empty 2010s. There haven't been any new significant music movements since 1990s. Today such bands like Bully play for certain period and then go away without anyone noticing them. I hope situation would change in near future. Otherwise, we fucked.

  49. J.... D....

    Wow I fucking love this band. Just discovered them. So happy

  50. A.... C....

    esta mierda esta tremenda

  51. G.... W....

    bully com ascendente em Nirvana

  52. A.... ....

    It's and old Greenday riff at the begging... Same as warning pretty much.

  53. C.... D....

    real rock music needs to come back promote more bands like this

  54. S.... E....

    Her voice is phenominal

  55. E.... W....

    Pray for my period all week

    never sounded better in song form.

  56. T.... S....

    She must have some Joan Jett influences.

  57. B.... J....

    I close my eyes and think that Veruca Salt just dropped a new album.

  58. C.... K....

    I love this song my older sister Jessica went to high school with u

    C.... K....

    In Roseville, MN?

  59. m.... ....

    alicia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  60. A.... M....

    Oh I can't get out
    Invisible handcuffs locked on me
    Been praying for my period all week
    And relief that I just can't see
    I question everything

    Trying all the time, I am
    Trying to hide from my mind, I am
    Trying trying
    Why am I
    I can't get out
    There's no flawless education just a stupid degree
    The feeling of growing so far from myself
    I can't reach, I can't reach, I can't reach
    So i brush it off, cause I want it bad
    And there's no dusting up
    When you want like that, here's a ship
    There's a wreck, better keep yourself in check cause
    All these loaded questions gonna eat you alive
    I'm trying, I am
    I'm trying, I am
    Trying to hide from my mind, I am
    Trying all the time, I am
    Trying to hide from my mind, I am
    Trying, trying

    Why am I?
    Why why?
    Why am I?

  61. R.... B....

    Did they record their album on tape? Is that true?

  62. C.... P....

    Great band out of TN. Love how LowFi this video is. Highly recommend putting down the money you Bully live.

  63. M.... L....

    This is Letters to Cleo to the maxxxxx

  64. T.... D....

    its remind me sonic youth

  65. h.... i....

    She can get it

  66. J.... D....

    LOL. She should have worked on the lyrics a bit more and taken some voice lessons.

    J.... D....

    Jim Deferio LOL no

  67. M.... T....

    The Rotor scene bears a striking to Truffaut's '400 Blows'; This band proves that shoegazing is alive and kicking.

  68. I.... X....

    I feel this song on a spiritual level.

  69. G.... E....

    I feel so proud watching you guys keep the 90s music spirit. Fuck that Chainsmoker and all that trap music.

  70. R.... P....

    this is a great new band

  71. F.... ....

    yes music is like pixies !

  72. c.... c....

    Saw them open for FIDLAR, they were great!

  73. E.... M....

    400 blows reference?

  74. M.... ....

    Member 1992?

    M.... ....

    Mellowcanuck33 o I member!

  75. M.... ....

    These guys opened for the descendents last night and kicked ass.

    M.... ....

    I was there!! In Portland right?

    M.... ....

    Yep, it was a great show

  76. B.... H....

    DINOSAUR POONIER

  77. C.... N....

    ´´been praying for my period all week...´´ no es la primera q canta sobre la regla.

  78. M.... G....

    Nice song

  79. L.... A....

    HOLE* MEETs THE PiXES

  80. O.... B....

    I love her

  81. M.... S....

    1:56 i love how they're headbanging synchronized

    M.... S....

    I think that's called a rock beat

  82. B.... D....

    sounds like a soft version of velouria

  83. Z.... L....

    If this came out in '94, it'd be an absolute classic.

    Z.... L....

    I don't think this works at all without the past 20 years of derivative pop music to contrast it with. And frankly it's SO MUCH better when it's just the band live without all the background sweetener. Reminiscent of grunge and later punk but truly something all its own. In twenty years someone will be wearing a Bully shirt and we'll be remembering 2019.

  84. m.... ....

    I'm in love

  85. S.... ....

    TOMMY PICKLES PIXIES

    S.... ....

    hahahhaaahha ohfuck

    S.... ....

    Cant unhear it now

    S.... ....

    Holy shit

  86. A.... M....

    Tengo una pequeña obsesión por esta canción <3

  87. S.... ....

    your music is very good, thanks :)

  88. D.... D....

    doesn't TI have a felony?

  89. K.... K....

    Wtf? You can get sued for ripping off Major Labels and spreading fundamentalist crap!

    K.... K....

    Alternative wasn't meant to be serious at all. Theatrical at most for gays mostly.

    K.... K....

    Uh ok New vids! https://plus.google.com/+KurtKurdtNirvana

    K.... K....

    Okie dokie dude

    K.... K....

    Okie dude

    K.... K....

    Just joking take a joke...

  90. H.... I....

    This reminds me of Milk Teeth, Violent Soho, Hole and Weezer <3

    H.... I....

    Yeah a ripoff of a gay scene of Major Label music.

    H.... I....

    so what? 90s mainstream music was amazing still

    H.... I....

    youre a fuk head.

    H.... I....

    I love freakin Violent Soho

  91. A.... R....

    soy el primer latino en gustarle Bully????? reportense 😂

    A.... R....

    desde la ciudad de México <3

    A.... R....

    México, la conocí en Reactor 105.7

    A.... R....

    ¡México!

    A.... R....

    Perú, loco

    A.... R....

    Que necio poniendo ese emoticon, no sos el primero yo los conosco desde hace 2 años, y yo tampoco soy el primero probablemente.

  92. m.... ....

    This 90s revival sucks. The 90s underground used to be full of smart, challenging yet hard hitting music (just ask Steve Albini). This shit sounds like Sheryl Crow.

    m.... ....

    +mousiedung check out Violent Soho, those are great.

    m.... ....

    Agreed. This is a fundamentalist pro life ripoff like all Indie Hits!

    m.... ....

    What are these antfeminiat fundamentalist nuts trying to do other than wreck all profits?

    m.... ....

    This front girl used to assist Steve Albini in his studio and he gave his personal stamp of approval to her band soooo

    m.... ....

    I just wanted to comment that the Front Woman for Bully (Alicia Bognanno) was taught by Steve Albini.
    I believe she has a degree in audio engineering. It is possible that she was working with Mr. Albini, and has been inspired by his work.

    Most Alternative Rock artists have adapted the way they make music, and society has a big impact on modern rock music. In some cases artists/bands look towards successful modern hits, and try to cater towards both mainstream listeners; and underground listeners. In some circumstances there is a divide on what the band "should" sound like and that can negativity impact the groups of dedicated listeners and the artist. Bully is "Trying" to be their own band, and stick their own sound while being influenced by the Punk/Grunge scene. People can decide what they sound like, but in reality the band does not have an answer to what they are influenced by; or what Genre they fall under.

  93. L.... ....

    Voice reminds me of Kurt Cobain

    L.... ....

    same bro they remind me off nirvana so hard

    L.... ....

    Well you should listen to Dead Sara especially their cover Heart Shaped Box.

    L.... ....

    i get more of a tommy pickles vibe

  94. w.... ....

    60 people didn't try. And don't know about good music as well.

  95. C.... ....
