Bad Luck
Fault Lines Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lady Luck has a vendetta
And I'm far from feeling better
So I'll keep on screaming
Till I can find the meaning

I really think I'm cursed
It's a little absurd
It's like everything that could go wrong
Goes wrong
All at once

I think I'm pushing my luck
But I can't give up
I'm taking back the time I lost
No matter what

If there's something that you're longing for
Then take your chances
You're never getting younger again
You'll grow old, wishing that you did
Are you satisfied? Better luck next time!

I got another dark cloud
Always keeping me down
Bury me 6 feet deep beneath
The dirt with all the worms

One day I'll wake up better
In a world that doesn't give a shit
If I win or lose
The path I choose
Was never up to me

What's it like being a ghost in the halls?
Phasing through the walls
You were never there after all

I think I'm pushing my luck
but I can't give up
I'm taking back the time I lost
No matter what

If there's something that you're longing for
Then take your chances
You're never getting younger again
You'll grow old, wishing that you did
Are you satisfied? Better luck next time!

Lady Luck has a vendetta
But I'm far from feeling better
So I'll keep on screaming
Till I can find the meaning
In this

No one
Knows the outcome
No one
Gives a fuck

You're breaking through the glass
Too much time has passed
If you're lucky you can make it better on your own

If there's something that you're longing for
Then take your chances
You're never getting younger again




You'll grow old, wishing that you did
Are you satisfied? Better luck next time!

The final section of the song expresses a sense of resignation and acceptance. The lines "No one / Knows the outcome / No one / Gives a fuck" highlight the singer's realization that they are ultimately responsible for their own fate. They acknowledge that relying on luck or the opinions of others is futile and that they need to take control of their own life.

Line by Line Meaning

Lady Luck has a vendetta
Luck seems to have a personal grudge against me


And I'm far from feeling better
I am nowhere close to feeling any improvement


So I'll keep on screaming
I will continue to express my frustration loudly


Till I can find the meaning
Until I can discover the purpose or significance


I really think I'm cursed
I genuinely believe I'm under a curse


It's a little absurd
It's somewhat ridiculous


It's like everything that could go wrong
It seems as if every possible thing that could go wrong


Goes wrong
Actually goes wrong


All at once
All simultaneously


I think I'm pushing my luck
I believe I'm testing the limits of my luck


But I can't give up
However, I refuse to surrender


I'm taking back the time I lost
I am reclaiming the time that I wasted


No matter what
Regardless of any obstacles


If there's something that you're longing for
If there's something you truly desire


Then take your chances
Then seize the opportunities available


You're never getting younger again
You will never regain your youth

You will age and regret not taking action


Are you satisfied? Better luck next time!

I got another dark cloud
I have encountered yet another negative situation


Always keeping me down
Continuously suppressing my spirits


Bury me 6 feet deep beneath
Metaphorically bury me in a grave


The dirt with all the worms
Alongside the soil full of worms


One day I'll wake up better
Eventually, I will wake up in an improved state


In a world that doesn't give a shit
In a world that doesn't care


If I win or lose
Whether I achieve victory or suffer defeat


The path I choose
The course of action I decide upon


Was never up to me
Was never within my control


What's it like being a ghost in the halls?
How does it feel to be invisible and unnoticed?


Phasing through the walls
Moving through walls as if they don't exist


You were never there after all
You were never present or involved, after all


No one
Nobody


Knows the outcome
Is aware of the result


No one
Nobody


Gives a fuck
Cares at all


You're breaking through the glass
You're shattering through the barrier


Too much time has passed
An excessive amount of time has gone by


If you're lucky you can make it better on your own
If fortunate, you can improve the situation by yourself


If there's something that you're longing for
If there's something you truly desire


Then take your chances
Then seize the opportunities available


You're never getting younger again
You will never regain your youth


You'll grow old, wishing that you did
You will age and regret not taking action


Are you satisfied? Better luck next time!
Are you content? May you have better luck in future attempts!
