Okay, here's something really far out that I thought about after listening to This Monkey's Gone to Heaven ( Pixies are awesome!)
My thought is that the boy in this song is not a boy at all. I think he represents the temptation of false happiness.
Before you tear my head off, hear me out. The reason I think this is because the number 6 means imperfection(pretty much the number of the Devil).
In the Pixies song, the singer says this "if man is five, then the devil is six..."
Back to this song.
I think that the fact that its a game in the beginning is because it's explaining the innocence of the tempatation to false happiness at first sight. It's easy to think that it was true happiness that you found, but it was always wrong, hence the fact that it "Shot her down."
The second verse has the main character completely entranced by this falsified happiness, even though the devil(being the boy) reminds her that she's been "shot down" by these feelings before.
The next verse reads that churchbells rang only for her. While I really like the way that people interpret this as the groom leaving the main character, I think it's something different. One of the only times a church bell will ring for you and you alone is a funeral.
So what I think has happened is that when the main character dies in the song, she finally realizes that she's been living with false happiness her entire life, and that in death, there's no comforting voice to "take the time to lie." And so after all this, the character is shot down pnce again.
Just something I was thinking about, so once again, DON'T KILL ME!!!
By the way, Kill Bill was an awesome movie. The dialogue was my favorite part of the movies, just like in every other movie Tarrantino touches. It's obviously not his best (that's PULP FICTION) but it is a good set of movies.
@voice.of.reason? I agree. Tho I get it's a man she's known since childhood and I don't think Bang bang is a game it's a metaphor for how he treats her and again when he dies you hear it in the lyrics. basically their whole relationship she had no answers.
