bad guy
Bongo Cat - Billie Eilish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
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

I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know

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, duh

I'm only good at being bad, bad

I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
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

I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy




Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad

Overall Meaning

The song "bad guy" by Billie Eilish is a sarcastic and ironic take on the idea of a "tough guy" or a bad boy figure. The opening line of "white shirt now red, my bloody nose" sets the scene for a reckless and violent situation. The second line "sleepin', you're on your tippy toes" insinuates that the person she is addressing is sneaky and untrustworthy. The next line "creepin' around like no one knows" could be interpreted to imply that the person is trying to hide something or engage in illicit activities. However, despite these negative traits, the person in question thinks of themselves as a "criminal" and seems to take pride in it.


The pre-chorus "so you're a tough guy, like it really rough guy, just can't get enough guy, chest always so puffed guy" is a sarcastic take on the idea of a "bad boy" who is tough and rough. The chorus "I'm the bad guy, duh" emphasizes the irony and sarcasm of the song. The second verse "I like it when you take control, even if you know that you don't own me, I'll let you play the role, I'll be your animal" implies that the person in question enjoys being controlled and dominated by others. The final verse "I'm a bad guy, I'm, I'm a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, I'm a bad" reinforces the narrative that the person is a self-proclaimed "bad guy" and seems to take pride in it.

Your Meower

@molliethebeagle9728

They also have to animate it and edit it to make it sound good so it’s just not meowing it takes work.

@RandomYouTuber_YT
