bad guy
Conquer Divide Lyrics

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
My pristine outfit is now stained with blood from my nose, which I injured in some altercation.

Sleepin′, you're on your tippy toes
You're trying to be quiet and sneaky while I'm sleeping, like you're up to no good.

Creepin′ around like no one knows
You're acting covertly, as if you're hiding something from everyone else.

Think you're so criminal
You act as if you're involved in criminal activity and you revel in it.

Bruises on both my knees for you
I have physical injuries from doing something for you that caused me to fall or scrape my knees.

Don't say thank you or please
You don't recognize or acknowledge when I do something for you, and you don't act politely or with gratitude.

I do what I want when I′m wanting to
I don't follow the expectations or rules of others, and I act on my own desires.

My soul? So cynical
I'm pessimistic and distrustful of others, and I have a negative outlook on life.

So you′re a tough guy
You present yourself as a macho and resilient man.

Like it really rough guy
You enjoy things that are aggressive, violent, or painful.

Just can't get enough guy
You can't get enough of whatever you're engaging in, especially if it's dangerous or intense.

Chest always so puffed guy
You're always boasting about your strength or power, and you have an inflated sense of your own importance.

I′m that bad type
I'm the kind of person who's seen as dangerous, antisocial, or rebellious.

Make your mama sad type
I'm the kind of person who might disappoint or hurt your mother, especially if she doesn't approve of me.

Make your girlfriend mad tight
I'm the kind of person who might make your girlfriend jealous, angry, or obsessed with me.

Might seduce your dad type
I'm the kind of person who might be considered attractive or alluring to your father, even if he's old enough to be my father too.

I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the person who embodies all of the negative, rebellious, or nonconformist traits that others find threatening or alarming.

I like it when you take control
I enjoy when you assume responsibility or authority over me, even if I don't follow your lead properly.

Even if you know that you don't
Even if you're aware that you don't have true power or control over me, I like to pretend that you do.

Own me, I′ll let you play the role
Even if I'm not really yours to control, I'll pretend that you are in order to satisfy my submissive desires.

I'll be your animal
I'll act like an untamed, instinct-driven creature in order to satisfy your primal desires.

My mommy likes to sing along with me
My mother approves of my behavior and is supportive of me, even if it's contrary to expectation or social norms.

But she won't sing this song
She wouldn't approve of the lyrics or the message of the song if she knew what they really meant.

If she reads all the lyrics
If she were to investigate the meaning of the song by examining the lyrics more closely, she would understand how deviant and transgressive they are.

She′ll pity the men I know
She'll feel sympathy or compassion for the men in my life who have to deal with me and my rebellious, dangerous behavior.

I'm only good at being bad, bad
My talents and abilities are limited to actions or behaviors that others would consider negative, immoral, or rebellious.

I like when you get mad
I enjoy when you become angry or upset with me, because it shows that you care about me and are invested in our relationship (even if it's dysfunctional).

I guess I′m pretty glad that you're alone
I'm relieved or satisfied that you're alone (either literally or figuratively) because it means that I can have more power and control over you.

You said she's scared of me?
You've heard from someone else that another person (probably a female) is frightened or intimidated by me, which satisfies my desire for dominance.

I mean, I don′t see what she sees
I don't understand why this person would be scared of me or perceive me as a dangerous or negative influence, since I don't see myself that way.

But maybe it′s 'cause I′m wearing your cologne
Maybe this person is frightened of me because they associate me with you and the scent of your cologne, which they find alarming or repulsive.

I'm a bad guy
I'm the kind of person who is seen as threatening, rebellious, or dangerous, and I don't apologize for it.
