Good Times
Cush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like one beat away
Good times and I feel
A new kind of shame
When a perfect kiss seems
To cut you up with the greatest bliss
And you know your heart's
Take that pain back, baby
Make you feel that don't mean
Maybe it's new for you
Take that shame back, baby
Make you feel that heart attack
Makin' it new for you, new for you
New for you, new for you
Good times, I can't take it
Good times, one beat away
High life, I can't fake it
Full speed ahead
When a perfect kiss
Seems to blow you up
And you make a wish for your heart
To break on time, it's so new
Take that pain back, baby
Make you [Incomprehensible] don't mean
Maybe it's new for you
Take that shame back, baby
Make you [Incomprehensible] heart attack
Makin' it new for you, new for you
New for you, new for you
New for you, new for you
When a perfect kiss
Seems to blow you up
And you make a wish for your heart
To break on time, it's so new
When a perfect kiss seems
To cut you up with the greatest bliss
And you know your heart's
On time, it's so new
In "Good Times," Cush sings about the intense feelings associated with moments of joy and pleasure, and how those experiences can sometimes be as overwhelming and painful as they are pleasurable. The verses describe the sensation of being just one beat away from complete joy, feeling as though the heart might explode with the bliss of a perfect kiss. The chorus then adds a layer of complexity to this experience by acknowledging the shame, pain, and heartbreak that can also be present in moments of intimacy and connection.
Throughout the song, there is a sense that these intense emotional experiences are both exhilarating and dangerous. The lyrics suggest that there is a risk in opening oneself up to love and connection, and that this risk is inherent in the very nature of joy itself. However, the song also seems to suggest that this risk is worth taking, as it can lead to new and transformative experiences.
Overall, "Good Times" is a meditation on the complex emotional landscape of human connection and intimacy, and how the highs and lows of such experiences are often intertwined.
