Harm & Ease Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm only good at being bad, bad
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy




Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Harm & Ease's song "Bad Guy" depict a rebellious and defiant individual who takes pride in their "bad" behavior. The opening line, "White shirt now red, my bloody nose," suggests a physical altercation or confrontation that has left the singer with visible injuries. The mention of being "on your tippy toes" and "creepin' around" implies a sense of sneaky and deceptive behavior, as if they are living a secret life. The repetition of the phrase "Think you're so criminal" reinforces the idea that this person revels in their perceived deviance.


The following lines, "Bruises on both my knees for you, Don't say thank you or please," suggest a willingness to endure physical pain and sacrifice for someone else's satisfaction, perhaps in a toxic or abusive relationship. The singer's refusal to conform to societal norms is highlighted in the line "I do what I want when I'm wanting to, My soul? So cynical," indicating a sense of rebellion and nonconformity.


The chorus describes the person as a "bad guy" who is rough, domineering, and unapologetic for their actions. They take pleasure in making others feel sad or angry and have the ability to manipulate and seduce both girlfriends and even fathers, adding layers to their perceived badness. The line "I'm only good at being bad, bad" reinforces the idea that this person's identity is rooted in their negative behavior.


The second verse mentions the singer's relationship with their mother, who appreciates singing along with them but would not approve of this particular song's lyrics. This implies a dichotomy between the person they present to their mother and the person they truly are, suggesting a hidden and complex personality.


In summary, "Bad Guy" portrays a rebellious and defiant individual who takes pride in their bad behavior, engaging in manipulation, seduction, and nonconformity. It explores the complexity of their identity and the tension between their public and private personas.
