Sad Girls
Big Troubles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The devil sitting on my shoulder
He told me not to play the game
I thought that it could be some good advice
It's a terrible shame

My mom said it's a bad world
She told me of the sad girls
So what's the point in trying if it always ends the same?

Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head

He's got a real bad attitude
It's all a waste of time
And it's a deja vu
It happens every time

My mom said it's a bad world
She told me of the sad girls
So what's the point in trying if it always ends in pain?

Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my

Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head

Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna get hurt

Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my

Love is in the air, but I don't care
'Cause I don't want to love anymore
And if I hear the word again
I think I'll drill a hole in my head
A hole in my head




A hole in my head
A hole in my head

Overall Meaning

The song Sad Girls by Big Troubles is about the singer's struggle with love and relationships. The song opens with the devil sitting on the singer's shoulder, warning him not to play the game of love; the singer is initially skeptical but eventually he agrees with the devil. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses his disinterest in love and his desire to avoid it altogether.


The singer's perspective on love appears to be heavily influenced by his mother's opinions. She warned him about "sad girls," implying that women often get hurt in relationships. This seems to have made the singer cynical and jaded about the idea of love. To him, love always ends in pain and he sees no point in trying anymore.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Love is in the air, but I don't care, 'cause I don't want to love anymore." This repetition emphasizes the singer's disillusionment with love and his desire to distance himself from it. The phrase "drill a hole in my head" is an exaggerated expression of his frustration and desire to avoid hearing about love.


Overall, Sad Girls is a song that explores the emotions of someone who has been hurt in love and has become disillusioned with it. The singer's perspective is shaped by his own experiences and those of people around him, particularly his mother. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to avoid love altogether, which he sees as a waste of time and a source of pain.
