Bad News
Bummer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like bad news on my doorstep every time that you come near
I can tell that you're not hearing anything of what I have to say
So I'm screaming in my car before I leave my parking space
I know
You're just thinking out loud
You don't know I'm not so well
And I've been thinking about us
It's been a long time coming but
You said it yourself
You said it yourself
Is this gonna be the type of thing you think about when you're alone?
Because I feel my insides melting when I see you hit my phone
And I know you're gonna hate me when I tell you that I'm not gonna stay
So instead I'll make up answers to those questions that I hate
And I know
You're just thinking out loud
You don't know me I can tell
And I've been thinking about us
And how you're not so tough
To make me feel like such a dunce
You must be so fucked up
And now you've got me fucked
It feels like bad news on my door
And I've been wanting so much more
It feels like bad news at my door
And I've been wanting so much more
'Cause every single time we touch
It just feels like you've had enough
The lyrics of Bummer's song "Bad News" capture a sense of disillusionment and frustration in a troubled relationship. The singer is addressing their partner, questioning whether they will ever express anything positive or affirming. Instead, whenever the partner is near, it seems like they bring bad news, creating a constant sense of unease.
The singer realizes that their partner is not truly listening to them. They feel unheard and resort to expressing their emotions by screaming in their car before leaving. The frustration with the partner's lack of understanding is further emphasized through the repetition of "you're just thinking out loud" and "you don't know." There is a sense of internal turmoil as the singer acknowledges their own struggles, expressing that they are not feeling well and have been thinking about the relationship.
The second half of the song reflects on the fear of disappointment and rejection. The singer questions whether their partner thinks about them when they are alone. The sight of a call or message from the partner makes the singer anxious, causing their insides to "melt." There is a realization that the singer cannot stay in the relationship, but anticipates their partner's anger when hearing this news. Instead of being honest, they choose to make up answers to avoid the questions they dislike.
The bridge of the song further exposes the singer's insecurities and doubts about the partner's feelings. They suggest that the partner may not be as tough as they appear, and make the singer feel foolish. The lines "To make me feel like such a dunce, You must be so fucked up, And now you've got me fucked" signify a feeling of being manipulated and taken advantage of.
The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase "It just feels like you've had enough," indicating a lack of emotional connection and the perception that the partner no longer wants to engage fully in the relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Are ya gonna tell me anything you're thinking that I'd like to hear?
Do you have any positive thoughts or feelings to share with me?
Seems like bad news on my doorstep every time that you come near
Whenever you're around, it feels like negative information or situations arise
I can tell that you're not hearing anything of what I have to say
I can sense that you're not truly listening to me
So I'm screaming in my car before I leave my parking space
To release my frustration, I yell loudly in my car right before driving away
You're just thinking out loud
You're expressing your thoughts without considering their impact
You don't know I'm not so well
You're unaware of my emotional state and struggles
And I've been thinking about us
I've been reflecting on our relationship
And how I'm not enough
And how I feel inadequate or insufficient
It's been a long time coming but
This realization or situation has been building up for a while
You said it yourself
You admitted it or acknowledged it previously
Is this gonna be the type of thing you think about when you're alone?
Will this be something you consider or ponder when you're by yourself?
Because I feel my insides melting when I see you hit my phone
Whenever you contact me, it deeply affects me, causing emotional turmoil
And I know you're gonna hate me when I tell you that I'm not gonna stay
I'm aware that you will resent me when I inform you that I won't continue with this relationship
So instead I'll make up answers to those questions that I hate
To avoid the discomfort of answering unpleasant questions, I'll fabricate responses
And I know
And I understand
You don't know me I can tell
You don't truly understand me, I can sense that
And I've been thinking about us
I've been contemplating our relationship
And how you're not so tough
And how you're not as strong or resilient as you may appear
To make me feel like such a dunce
To make me feel foolish or stupid
You must be so fucked up
You must be emotionally disturbed or troubled
And now you've got me fucked
And now you've emotionally affected or manipulated me
It feels like bad news on my door
It feels like negative information or events keep coming my way
And I've been wanting so much more
And I've been desiring or hoping for greater things
'Cause every single time we touch
Because every time we have contact or interact
It just feels like you've had enough
It simply feels like you're no longer interested or invested
