Good Luck
Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think you're the real deal honey
And someone'll always look after you
But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
You sold me sold me
Sold me down the river now
Hope you're feeling happy now
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
Don't give a damn no more
Oh baby bye bye
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Without you
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares when your resting your head
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
The lyrics of Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest's song Good Luck convey a message of caution to those who are overconfident and think they are invincible. The opening lines of the song ask if life is just a playground and if you really think you're the real deal, however, it warns that if you don't come out of this deluded mindset, you will end up old and alone. The song urges listeners to wake up and realize that they are not indestructible, and that they need to be careful with their actions, lest they end up in a more challenging space than they can handle.
The underlying message of the song is driven home with a sarcastic tone that suggests that the person being addressed was not considerate of others and only thought about themselves. The line "Enjoy your nightmares honey when you're resting your head" implies that their actions will catch up with them eventually, and they will have nightmares to deal with. The chorus repeats the same message of good luck being wished upon someone, but it is not genuine, it carries a sneer, and it is coupled with the hope that they will be troubled in their sleep.
In conclusion, the lyrics of Good Luck by Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest push the message of being cautious and refraining from leading selfish lives. It points to the dangers of being self-centered and how it can lead to loneliness and regret in the end.

You betrayed me
Sold me down the river now
You left me in a vulnerable position
Hope you're feeling happy now
I hope you're content with your decision
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
You'll always have a sense of pride in hurting me
And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
I'm grateful that I'm no longer with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
No more tears or bruises caused by you leaving me
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
You tried to intimidate me but I'm still confident
Don't give a damn no more
I no longer care
Oh baby bye bye
Goodbye
No more lies
No more dishonesty
Without you
I'm better off without you
