Da-da-da, hmm
Da-da-da-hmm (yeah, yeah)
Oh, ah
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say "thank you" or "please"
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul so cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy
Duh
I'm the bad guy
Gold teeth, my neck, my wrist is froze (so icy)
I got more ice than, than the snow
That guy, don't act like you don't know
That guy, so critical (skrrt)
Tattoos on both my sleeves
Yeah, I don't sleep, please don't wake me
Loosen my tie up so I can breathe
It ain't political, oh no (uh-uh)
Yeah, I'm a bad guy
Ain't no holdin' back guy
Come off like I'm mad guy
Always got your back guy
Yeah, I'm the real type
Keep you for the thrills type
Show you what it feels like
Got an open invite
I'm the bad guy, whoa-ooh (duh)
I'm the bad guy
Duh
I'm only good at bein' bad, bad
(Ahh)
(Ah)
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone (so icy)
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne (let's go)
I'm the bad guy (damn right)
I-I'm the bad guy (aw, yeah)
The lyrics to "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber are filled with themes of rebellion, non-conformity, and a disregard for authority. The opening lines of the song paint a picture of a violent encounter that leaves the singer with a bloody nose and bruises on their knees. The person they confront doesn't say thank you, but rather assumes they're a criminal. The singer's soul is cynical, implying that they have lost faith in the world and people.
The chorus identifies the singer as the bad guy, someone who likes it rough, and is always looking for a thrill. They enjoy making people sad or angry and have no problem seducing those close to their victims. While their actions may seem political, they are driven by their desire for control.
The second verse brings in a new character, one who is wearing gold teeth and has tattoos on their sleeves. They don't sleep and keep their tie loose to breathe. They come off as mad, but they have their friend's back. The real thrill for them is the control they have over their victims. However, they have an open invitation to this dark side of themselves, suggesting that they may not be fully committed to the lifestyle they portray.
Overall, the song is about the power dynamic between two people, one who is a victim, and the other who is the perpetrator. The bad guy is not afraid to use violence or seduction to achieve their goals, and they enjoy the control and power they have over others. It's a song about rebellion and taking control of one's life, even if that control comes at the expense of others.
