Bad News
Bastill e Lyrics

Bad news like a sucker punch, what do you say?
Some news can hit you unexpectedly and have a profound impact on you; it can leave you speechless, unsure of what to say or how to react.

Air knocked out of my lungs want you to stay
The feeling of receiving bad news can be physically and emotionally overwhelming, leaving you desperate to hold onto something or someone familiar for comfort.

When you hear something difficult don't back away
It's important to not avoid difficult conversations or situations, even if they're uncomfortable, as this can help with processing and dealing with the situation.

Some people say nothing, good ones engage
While some may choose to remain silent in the face of bad news, those who are willing to actively listen and engage can provide valuable support and comfort.

Don't turn your back on me
This is a plea to not abandon someone who may be struggling or hurting, even if you're unsure of how to help or what to say.

Don't bury your head deep
Rather than ignoring or avoiding a difficult situation or conversation, it's important to face it head-on and work through it.

Just cause you don't know what to say
It's okay to not have all the answers or know what to say; simply being there to listen and provide support can make a difference.

It's true That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting Bad news Oh it beats you black and blue before you see it coming
Bad news can blindside you and have a powerful impact on you, leaving you feeling hurt, confused, and overwhelmed.

Bad news like a sucker punch moving your way
This is a repetition of the earlier line, emphasizing the sudden and unexpected nature of bad news.

People fill the streets like nothing has changed
In the midst of bad news, the rest of the world can continue moving along as if everything is normal, which can feel jarring and isolating.

Clapped hands if you're lonely don't leave the same
This is a call to action to reach out to those who may be struggling or feeling alone, as even a small gesture of support can make a difference in someone's life.

Planes fly overhead like any old day
The world goes on despite the presence of bad news, which can feel surreal and disorienting.

Maybe you just want a world of destruction
This line reflects the feeling of hopelessness and despair that can come with receiving bad news, and a sense that everything is falling apart.

I feel like I'm being consumed
Bad news can feel all-consuming and overwhelming, leaving you feeling helpless and powerless.

Maybe I'm expecting a perfect reaction It's pulled me back
This line reflects the pressure to respond perfectly to bad news, which can be paralyzing and lead to feeling stuck or unable to move forward.
