Evil
Bermuda Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Realized the way I say pop you despise and Wendy is for you, a
More ideal match. She's a little more evil. She's got a little
More back. She wants to live with you in your lighthouse, read your
Poems and worship your dome
On a damp day you told me to go away. You said you just
Realized the way I say pop you despise and Wendy is for you, a
More back. She wants to live with you in your lighthouse, read your
Poems and worship your dome
On a older day you told me to stay and play. You said that I'm so
Much fun because we both believe in nothing except Thurston
And Moz and aliens are really and we just want to make a movie
About all of our best trips. We stay up all night long, in your
Basement, conjure up our script and smoke lots of cigarettes
But on that damp day you told me to go away. You say you wrote
Something down for me in a poem about winter walks but
Wendy is for you a more ideal match. She a little more crazy
I guess that's what you like. She's gonna freak on you, give you
Lots of zits, and leave you alone
The song "Evil" by Bermuda Bonnie is a melancholic track that narrates a story of a rejected lover. The song begins with the singer being told by their love interest to go away on a damp day. The reason given is the singer's accent; the way they say "pop" is despised by the love interest, who claims that a woman named Wendy is a more ideal match. Wendy is described as being a little more evil and having a little more back, as well as wanting to live with the love interest in his lighthouse, read his poems, and worship his dome.
The second verse starts with reminiscence of an older day when the same love interest told the singer to stay and play. They bonded over their mutual love for Thurston and Moz and their belief in aliens. They planned to make a movie about their best trips, staying up all night long in the basement and smoking cigarettes. However, the love interest ultimately rejected the singer even after having found common grounds. They had a poem written for the singer about winter walks but decided that a woman named Wendy is a more ideal match. Wendy is described as being a little more crazy, which is what the love interest likes, and she is going to freak on him, give him lots of zits, and leave him alone.
The song speaks to the universal experience of being rejected by someone and the pain that comes with it, while highlighting the superficial reasons that are often used to justify it. The phrase "She's got a little more back" is often used to describe a woman's fuller figure, which could be perceived as being more desirable than the singer's body type. The line "She's gonna freak on you, give you lots of zits," could be interpreted as a warning to the love interest that this new woman is not what she seems.

Lyrics are amazing, the construct even more complex than I could get just listening to it. I am so glad you posted this video and the lyrics as I've been a huge fan of this track for a long while

I love love love this tune since you first posted it. Now the clip, which is great, don't kid yourself. Well done. What did someone tell me about creative work; it's more about voice than technique. Anyway, my point for posting is please please please post the lyrics. That would be awesome.
