To Hell With Good Intentions
mclusky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love is bigger than your love
We take more drugs than a touring funk band
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

My band is better than your band
We've got more songs than a song convention
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

And we're all going straight to hell

My dad is bigger than your dad
He's got eight cars and a house in Ireland
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

When we gonna torch the restaurant?
Sing it
When we gonna pay the guide dog?
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

And we're all going straight to hell

My love is bigger than your love
We take more drugs than a touring funk band
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it

When we gonna torch the restaurant?
Sing it
When we gonna get excited?
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
My love is bigger than your love
Sing it
And we're all going straight to hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of mclusky's song "To Hell With Good Intentions" mocks the idea of superiority and excessiveness in a satirical manner. The song employs a lot of repetition, particularly in the lines "My love is bigger than your love" and "Sing it". By repeating these lines, the song emphasizes the theme that the band's love, band, and actions are better and bigger than others. Furthermore, the lyrics glamorize the use of drugs, celebrating the consumption of more drugs than a "touring funk band."


The song's narrative continues with the suggestion to "torch the restaurant" and asking when they will "pay the guide dog." These lines could represent the band's recklessness and lack of regard for societal norms or could hint at some anarchist ideology. The repeating line, "We're all going straight to hell," emphasizes the nihilistic and self-destructive nature of the song's themes.


Overall, the song portrays a sense of arrogance and self-aggrandizement while simultaneously expressing nihilistic tendencies.
