Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't even say my name, no
We know we′ve shot it for a good long time
But nothing changed it's just the same
You drive me crazy with your answers
I guess you really dont care
I'm going under in constant pain
Why can′t you speak my name
You would like me to call you, Bad Boy Ken?
Bad Boy Ken
Okay
Bad Boy Ken
I don′t know what to do baby
I thought you wanted to play
Can't you hear what I′m saying?
Should I go or should I stay?
You drive me crazy with your answers
I guess you really don't care
I′m going under in constant pain
Why can't you speak my name
Siri, can you call me Badpojken?
You would like me to call you, Bad Boy Ken?
Bad Boy Ken
Okay
Bad Boy Ken
Siri, seriously, you gotta be kidding me
Siri, seriously, what are you calling me?
You would like me to call you, Bad Boy Ken?
Say my name
Bad Boy Ken
Okay
Bad Boy Ken
Bad Boy Ken
From now on, I′ll call you Bad Boy Ken
The lyrics to Badpojken's song "Bad Boy Ken" convey a sense of frustration and confusion in a relationship where one person feels unheard and unacknowledged by their partner. The singer expresses their frustration at not being able to have their name spoken by their partner, indicating a lack of emotional connection and understanding. This unaddressed issue has caused them constant pain and confusion, as they don't know whether to stay or leave the relationship.
The use of Siri, the virtual assistant, adds a layer of irony and humor to the song. By asking Siri to call them "Badpojken" or "Bad Boy Ken," the singer highlights the absurdity of not being recognized by their partner. It suggests that the partner's lack of effort or interest in acknowledging their name is comparable to an automated response from a digital assistant.
Overall, "Bad Boy Ken" depicts a person struggling with feeling invisible and unimportant in a relationship. The inability to have their name spoken symbolizes a deeper issue of emotional disconnect and a lack of mutual understanding.
