Bad Vibrations
The Black Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you tell a wish from a spell?
A hug from a lie?
They both make you feel so gone
We warned you from harm again
You're beating hearts again
We made love in June,
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name
Hit hard with harm,
She loves to off you then yawn
Never disarm, you know she loves to be drawn
You're leaching hard friend
I'm feeling down again
We made love with few,
I took it from you
You were my worst friend,
I felt that way
Braiding her hair,
You can tell her from here
Drink her last tear,
Yeah, you die for your dear
Bad vibes around her,
She's eating hearts again
We made love in June,
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name

The lyrics of the song "Bad Vibrations" by The Black Angels are enigmatic and open to interpretation. The song begins with questioning the ability to distinguish between a wish and a spell, and a hug and a lie. The lines - "They both make you feel so gone, we warned you from harm again, you're beating hearts again" indicate a sense of danger, warning someone of imminent harm, even after they have been warned before. The references to making love in June and with few have a melancholic tone, evoking memories of lost love and past betrayals. The line - "Braiding her hair, you can tell her from here, drink her last tear, yeah, you die for your dear" is ambiguous and could imply the act of seduction or manipulation. The reference to "bad vibes around her" might suggest that she is a source of negativity and harm, and "she's eating hearts again" could symbolize her power to destroy others.
The lyrics of the song have a haunting and hypnotic quality, fueled by the psychedelic rock sound of the band. The repetition of the lines - "We made love in June, I heard it from you, you were my best friend, you used my name" and "(Inside, outside)" creates a sense of disorientation and confusion. Overall, the lyrics of "Bad Vibrations" suggest themes of betrayal, loss, seduction, and danger.

Can you tell a wish from a spell?
Do you have the ability to distinguish between a genuine wish and mere illusion?
A hug from a lie?
Can you differentiate between a sincere embrace and a hollow deception?
They both make you feel so gone
Both experiences can leave you feeling lost and disconnected
We warned you from harm again
We cautioned you to protect yourself once more
You're beating hearts again
You are once again risking emotional attachment
We made love in June, I heard it from you
We had a sexual encounter in June and I learned about it from you
You were my best friend, You used my name
You were my closest companion and yet you still exploited me
Hit hard with harm, She loves to off you then yawn
She inflicts pain with no remorse and takes pleasure in it
Never disarm, you know she loves to be drawn
She enjoys instigating conflict and never backs down from a challenge
You're leaching hard friend, I'm feeling down again
You are draining me of my energy and I am once again feeling depressed
We made love with few, I took it from you
We had sex discreetly, with only a few people knowing, and I initiated it
You were my worst friend, I felt that way
You were my biggest adversary and I held that opinion of you
Braiding her hair, You can tell her from here
Even from a distance, you can recognize the woman by her unique hairstyle
Drink her last tear, Yeah, you die for your dear
You are so devoted to this person that you would do anything, even consume their last tear
Bad vibes around her, She's eating hearts again
There is negative energy emanating from her and she is once again causing emotional pain

Welcome to Dubai, gentlemen.
This is Colonel John Konrad, United States Army. Attempted evacuation of Dubai ended in complete failure. Death toll... too many.
Dubai should have died long ago. We were ordered to abandon these people. Instead, we chose damnation.
There were over five thousand people alive in Dubai, the day before you arrived. How many are alive today, I wonder? How many will be alive tomorrow?
I thought my duty was to protect this city from the storm. I was wrong. I have to protect it from you.
Your friends, dead. The world on fire. And you... alone. You're a failure. Finally, something we have in common.
Welcome to Hell, Walker. We've been waiting for you.
Well done Walker, you've done what the storm could not: destroyed the Damned 33rd. Do you feel like a hero yet?
Someone has to pay for your crimes, Walker. Who is it going to be?
It takes a strong man to deny what's right in front of him. And if the truth is undeniable, you create your own.
The truth, Walker, is that you're here because you wanted to feel like something you're not: a hero.
I'm here because you can't accept what you've done. It broke you. You needed someone to blame, so you cast it on me: a dead man.
No matter what happens next, don't be too hard on yourself. Even now, after all you've done, you can still go home. Lucky you.
Home? We can't go home. There's a line men like us have to cross. If we're lucky, we do what's necessary, then we die. No, all I really want, Captain, is peace.
Jeremy. Someday, people will tell you about your father. For that, I'm sorry. I love you.
