Make It Worse
Big Troubles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such little relevance in the perfumes of high culture
Validate her innocence like a Pacific summer
To an east coast kid living out the same lies that his parents did
Now comes a (?) fury view the sequence to your mother

Notions of persons, personal reactions will miss
Ring of bone, black hole, will your (?) begin
Bill's insignificance invested in a six-figure future
Complicate with decadence and fill your tanks with sugar
Getting closer, getting right, turn the lights off before you fall asleep
And then fall asleep





Notions of persons, personal reactions will miss
Ring of bone, black hole, will your (?) begin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Big Troubles' "Make It Worse" appear to explore themes of personal identity, cultural expectations, and the pursuit of success. The first verse juxtaposes "high culture" with the simplicity of a "Pacific summer," suggesting that societal pressures and expectations can distract from the beauty and simplicity of life. The second line speaks to the idea of innocence and validation, perhaps suggesting a desire to be seen as "good enough" by society. The third line shifts focus to an "east coast kid" living out the same lies as his parents, implying a cycle of cultural expectations and pressures being passed down through generations. The last line of the verse, which includes a phrase that is difficult to decipher, seems to suggest a looming sense of anger or frustration.


The second verse further explores themes of success and decadence, referencing a person named Bill who is investing in a "six-figure future" but complicating things with excess and materialism. The lines "Getting closer, getting right, turn the lights off before you fall asleep / And then fall asleep" seem to suggest an intense focus on achieving success, to the point of exhaustion or burnout. The final lines of the song repeat the refrain from the first verse, emphasizing the idea that personal identity and reactions can be overlooked in the pursuit of success or cultural validation.


Overall, "Make It Worse" is a thought-provoking exploration of the pressures and expectations that shape our lives, and the ways in which those pressures can obscure our true selves.

Jasper (Snarkily) - "Did you buy all of it?"
Nelli - "No. Your girlfriend did."

Jasper proceeds to have simultaneous heart-wrenching depression and Kill Bill sirens playing in his head.
