Bad Cop Bad Cop Lyrics

Early afternoon, or maybe lunch time
As daylight trickles into the dark, rundown bar, the grim reality of the environment becomes harder to ignore.

All I know is daylight is creeping through
The singer acknowledges the notion that daylight is slowly becoming present.

The covered windows, behind me, neon signs
The only visible elements outside of the tinted windows are neon signs blurting out crude advertisements.

Fluorescent flicker, "This bud′s for you"
The flickering of the neon light complements the odor of cigarettes and alcohol that fills the air of the dingy bar.

By light of day, it′s hard not to notice
When contrasted against the darkness of night, one realizes the true filthiness of the bar visible when daylight seeps through.

Just how filthy this place can be
The environment of the bar proves to be disgustingly ridden with dirt and grime.

The smell of bleach and cheap shots
The grossness of the bar is emphasized by the stench of disinfectant and low-quality alcohol.

Drowning out with my ugly company
The repulsiveness of the environment is complemented with the company of unappealing individuals.

So line 'em up, my lonely friends
Anticipating social interaction, the artist asks to line up glasses with their acquaintances.

Raise your glass and knock ′em down
Encouraging cheering, the artist has their friends clink their glasses and pound their drinks in one go.

A little salt to sap the sting
The singer adds salt to their drink in an attempt to mask the previous conversation.

From the last words that we spoke
The artist wishes to forget about the unpleasantness of their last conversation.

So cheers, here's to hoping
The singer offers a toast in the hopes that they will never have to see the person again.

This one's to chase
The singer raises their glass to chase the terrible taste left behind by a person's name.

The awful taste of your name
The name of the person is associated with a bitter aftertaste.

From my tongue
The artist wishes to eliminate the memory of the aforementioned person from their mind.

And one more in hopes that I'll hit the floor
The artist drinks another shot in hopes that they will become too drunk to remember the person's name or face.

And knock the thought of you from my brain
The singer hopes that by getting blackout drunk, they will forget everything concerning the person.

And last, to hopelessly wishing
The singer offers a final toast filled with remorse and regret.

Four goddesses
The lyrics suddenly shift to describe a commercial advertisement for a sale on four items.

While supplies last, four goddesses, $29.95
The sale offers four goddess-like objects for a low price, but the sale is only available while supplies last.

Compliant planet sale
The commercial emphasizes a sale on an item yielding a compliant planet.

Well, early in the morning
As the song transitions back to the bar, the singer laments waking up alone in the morning.

When I wake up, you′re not there
The artist realizes that the person they were trying to forget is not there with them.

How many nights have I been sleeping alone?
The singer questions how frequently they have lied awake in bed, spending the night in solitude.

It′s not fair
The singer does not believe it is fair that they are alone.

And where were you? You fucking walked away
The singer confronts the person in their thoughts, wondering where they went and why they stopped talking to each other.

You opened up and gave me your heart
The artist alludes to the previous good times shared with the person, and wishes it could have continued without any issues.

At the finish line thinking you heard a start
The artist sarcastically remarks how the excitement at the beginning rapidly escalated into conflict, implying that what they thought was a great start was actually a tumultuous finish.

When we get too close, you run the other way
The singer is bitter that the person they were trying to get close to continuously left them behind, signifying a pattern of avoidance.

And last, to hopelessly wishing
The singer raises a final toast with the hopeless sentiment that they never met the person.

I never see your face again
The artist acknowledges their desire of eventual separation from the person.

So cheers, here's to hopelessly wishing
The artist's final toast expresses hopelessness, suggesting that it is an impossible wish to forget the person and the memories they shared.

This one′s to chase
The artist wishes to chase away any memories that they hold of the person.

The awful taste of your name
Once again, the person's name is associated with a terrible aftertaste, highlighting how the singer despises everything about the individual.

From my tongue
The artist wishes to forget everything about the person, including their name.
