Bad Luck
Civet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so close to snappin' and I'm packin' a punch
I can't see straight, I'm seein' red
And what tomorrow brings is all that I dread
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and waiting to put up a fight
Kickin' and screamin' with all of my might
It can make you wanna scream and make you pay
For the mistakes you wish you never made
All that's good just seems to fade
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and willing to put up a fight
Kickin' and screamin' with all of my might
Will anything ever get better for me
Sometimes it feels so hard to breathe
Bad luck
Keeping me down
Bad luck
Keep comin' around
Bad luck, oh bad luck
It's tough when you've got bad luck
You're fallin on your face and everything's fucked
Wish you could hide from the world outside
Stay in bed, curl up and die
When nothing is going right
I'm ready and waiting to put up a fight
Kickin' and screamin' with all of my might

The chorus acknowledges the familiar feeling of bad luck and the toll it takes on one's life ("Bad luck keeping me down, keep comin' around"), and the second verse nods to the inevitable mistakes and regrets that can compound such negative experiences.
The refrain of "When nothing is going right, I'm ready and waiting to put up a fight, kickin' and screamin' with all of my might" reflects a resilience and determination to keep going despite the hardships. The bridge underscores just how difficult it can be to overcome bad luck ("Will anything ever get better for me? / Sometimes it feels so hard to breathe"). In the final verse, the image of wanting to retreat from the world and give up speaks to the toll that constant struggle can take on one's mental health.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bad Luck" capture the frustration and exhaustion of experiencing repeated setbacks, while also acknowledging the resilience and determination it takes to keep fighting through it.
