BAD LOVE
Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad love, oh no, hey

Don't know why
이토록 끌린 존재
너는 rated-R
짜릿하지만 미스테리한 circles

낯선 강렬한 중독
덮쳐 오는 멜로
널 빛이며 어둠이라고 불러

자라난 bad monster
더 깊이 탐미할수록
달콤한 듯 쓰디쓴 독

환희도 절망도 나의 것
도망쳐 봐도
낙원 따윈 없어
Now I know 안 끝나

Don't need that kind of love, called love (도망쳐 더 멀리 it's bad love)
다 지긋지긋해 이딴 bad love
Don't need that kind of love, called love (더 욕해 더 세게 to bad love)
내 안에 너 없게
A love so bad

Cut it out
도무지 control 안 돼
돌아버리지
꿈틀대며 눈을 뜨는 déjà vu

Killer 제 멋대로인 잘난 logic 속에
삐뚤어져 가는 내 맘이 보여
I'm thinking 'bout your love now
그 잔 속 가득 채워진
거짓들은 황홀했으니

선택한 벌을 난 받았어
미워할 바에야
삼켜버려야 해

Don't need that kind of love, called love (도망쳐 더 멀리 it's bad love)
다 지긋지긋해 이딴 bad love
Don't need that kind of love, called love (더 욕해 더 세게 to bad love)
내 안에 너 없게
Nothing but bad love

(I'm not even thinking of you)
I'm not even thinking of you
(I'm not even thinking of you)
That's what I wanna say to you

아름답지만 잔혹한
너란 비극 내 안에서
날뛰고 있어

또 눈을 뜨네
이 꿈속에
번지는 불길처럼 더 커져

(Bad love, it's bad love) no, no 내가 택한 벌
(Bad love, it's bad love) no, no
Nothing but bad love

Don't need that kind of love, called love (도망쳐 더 멀리 it's bad love)
다 지긋지긋해
Don't need your bad love, oh, oh

Don't need that kind of love, called love (더 욕해 더 세게 to bad love)
내 안에 너 없게
Nothing but bad love

Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, no




(Bad love, bad love, it's bad love)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, no

Overall Meaning

The song "BAD LOVE" by Key explores the toxic and destructive nature of a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and attraction towards someone who is described as a mysterious and captivating presence. The person is compared to a rated-R (adult) movie, both thrilling and filled with the unknown.


The lyrics highlight the addictive and overpowering effect this person has, with their presence being referred to as a mixture of light and darkness. Key describes the relationship as a growing "bad monster," indicating that the more he indulges in it, the deeper he falls into its allure.

Despite recognizing the harm and despair of this love, Key acknowledges that it remains within his possession.

The refrain emphasizes his refusal to accept this kind of love, emphasizing the repetitiveness and weariness he feels towards it.


In the second verse, Key expresses his struggle for control and the desperation to escape from this love's grasp. The use of terms like "déjà vu" and "killer" suggests a sense of déjà vu and a realization that he is being manipulated and losing his own logic. He becomes aware of the deception and falsehoods within this love, concluding that he must swallow his resentment and let it go.


Overall, "BAD LOVE" is a song that delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship, exploring the allure, addiction, and despair that come with it.
