Bad Girl
Alexandra Slate (Саундтрек к фильму "Лара Крофт 2") Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I picked one up the other day
does that mean I'm a bad girl?
And if i take of all my clothes?
Well that makes me a bad girl

What if life itself goes to shit?
now that I've been pushed around
Well tell me something I don't know
'Cause I've held off way too long now

And its not the way you hold me,
hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows
I'm a very, very bad girl
(Yeah I'm a bad girl)

So I wrote this song for sanity
And it tells me I'm naive
But if he heard this melody
He'd see all over me

And it's not the way you hold me
Hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows (no oh) nobody knows
I'm a very, very bad girl
(Oh I'm a bad girl)

And its not the way you hold me,
Hold me responsible
I'm not who you think I am
Have I fooled the whole world?
Nobody knows, (no oh) nobody knows

Well there's no point in you believing,
I'm a saint when I'm deceiving
Everybody thinks I'm someone else

I'm a very, very bad girl
Oh I'm a bad girl




I'm a bad girl
I'm a very, very bad girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alexandra Slate's "Bad Girl" seem to be about societal expectations and the pressure to conform to them. The singer poses the questions of whether buying something (presumably provocative) and taking off all her clothes make her a "bad girl." Additionally, the lyrics acknowledge that sometimes life can become overwhelming and it's okay to feel like giving up. She also seems to be exploring her true identity and whether or not she's putting on a façade for the world.


The refrain of the song repeats the line "And it's not the way you hold me, hold me responsible. I'm not who you think I am. Have I fooled the whole world?" This suggests that the singer is not fulfilling others' expectations of who she is or who she should be. Instead, she's forging her own path and may be more complex than she appears on the surface.


Overall, "Bad Girl" seems to be a song about breaking free from societal expectations and exploring one's true identity, even if it may contradict what others believe. It's about allowing oneself to be vulnerable and accept that it's okay not to have all the answers.

Amazing song, and it suits Lara Croft so much, and the video was great as well :) There could another video with the same song with the ' Tomb Raider ' games which has followed after this one, I'm sure it would be awesome :)
