Anybody
Bad Things Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get up just to bring you down
I never loved you so
don't bleed it out, Just let it go
And Open up your eyes girl
Why'd you ever care at all
Stop, don't talk bitch why you running
Away you got know where to go oh
Feelings don't hold me
Now I see you're
feeling the same as
As when I lost the leash
I can't contain your dreams
Is anybody here
Is anybody here
I can feel it coming
I've been down
Down that train
And my love you've been up for days
Just to find a way, to open up your eyes
See we never were at all
Stop, don't talk shit just bite your tongue
And let it fall.
OH you gotta let if fall

Feelings don't hold me
Now I see you're feeling the same as
As when I lost the leash
I can't contain your dreams
Is anybody here
Is anybody here
I can feel it coming

Is anybody here
I can feel it coming
Does anybody care
I can hear them calling
Does anybody care




Is anybody here
Is anybody here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bad Things' song "Anybody" are open to interpretation, but a common theme throughout the song is someone realizing that their relationship has ended and feeling disconnected from the other person. The opening lines "I get up just to bring you down / I never loved you so" suggest that the person has been trying to sabotage the relationship and didn't really love the other person. The line "Stop, don't talk bitch why you running / Away you got know where to go oh" indicates that the other person is trying to escape from the situation but there is no escape. The chorus of "Is anybody here / I can feel it coming / Does anybody care / I can hear them calling" implies that the person is feeling alone and disconnected from others, despite others being present.


Throughout the song, there is a strong sense of frustration and an inability to control the situation. The lines "Feelings don't hold me / Now I see you're feeling the same as / As when I lost the leash / I can't contain your dreams" suggest that the other person has their own dreams and desires that cannot be controlled or contained by the singer. The repetition of "Is anybody here" creates a sense of desperation and isolation, with the singer feeling disconnected from others and seeking connection.


Overall, the lyrics to "Anybody" convey a sense of frustration, disconnection, and a lack of control in a romantic relationship. The singer seems to be grappling with feelings of love and hate for the other person, and feeling lost and alone in the aftermath of the relationship's end.

Bad Things will have a certain level of guaranteed success. 
Mr. White is carrying over his fan base from snowboarding into music. 
And that's fine. It's very smart to ensure success.

Lets keep the snowboard world and music world separate for the time being:
From the perspective of music alone, this is a very good attempt, there is nothing wrong with the music - how can it go 'wrong' when whether or not it's 'good' is decided 100% by opinion.
However, there is nothing within this song that attempts to enrich the world of music. This again, isn't bad, they could also not be worried about setting their sights on innovation, they could be having fun, and that's fine.
However, the lyrics don't provide any originality, and the sound is a mix of standard pop-rock with the slightest hint of the all-too-hip indie-love, most prominently (still very slightly) in the intro and the chorus.
That being said, these criticisms don't make the music bad. It just makes it much easier for them to blend into obscurity.

For me when I compare Shaun White's snowboarding career with what he's presented to the music world, I become a little disappointed.
With snowboarding he's made sure he was blazing a trail of innovation. This alone is what lead to his enormous success. He was always surprising everyone.
This music isn't surprising me, and I can't imagine it will surprise too many, except for those where music is not a main focus of their life. [SIDE NOTE: It's almost always the case that the type of music that appeals to other artists and musicians for some obscure reason often attracts the masses - although they can't say why they like it. Its not that the masses aren't capable of knowing why they like it, it's that they weren't trained with the right skills and vocabulary to express why]

Some people for sure will love this. Again it's all a matter of taste and opinion.
But for me, I will remember Shaun from his extreme sports days... For now.
