Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

But something out there's messing with me
A strange dose of reality

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I thought a drive might make it okay
I thought a drive would take it all away

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Something out there's messing with me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things bad things
I just want to
Bad things, bad things
I want to want to
Bad things, bad things
Come on, I want to
Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good
And I feel so bad

I like the sound of the urban din
I like the sound it fits the mood I'm in
The city plays it's manic song
The city plays I want to sing along

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't shake it this brain freeze
Bad things keep happening to me
Bad things come in more than threes

Bad things, bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I want to, wanna..
Bad things, bad things
Come on I wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good

I had some things I had to do today
I had some things my head got in the way
I can't shake what's hanging over me
I just can't shake what's hanging over me

Bad things bad things
I just wanna..
Bad things, bad things
I want to, want to
Bad things, bad things
Come on I wanna..

Bad things, bad things
I just want to feel good

Line by Line Meaning

I suppose I should say a few words here
I feel like I should express myself in this moment

Let it all out
Share everything that's bothering me

Try to let it all out
Making an effort to express all the worries

I like the sign with the blinking light
The illuminated symbol brings me some comfort

I like the sign it makes me feel alright
The symbol gives me a sense of safety

I like the lights yeah they're soothing me
The bright lights give me comfort

I like the lights when they get blurry
The vibrant lights make me feel dazed

But something out there's messing with me
There's a force that's disrupting my mental balance

A strange dose of reality
An unfamiliar, unexpected situation

I had some things I had to do today
There were some obligations I had to fulfill

I had some things my head got in the way
I was too preoccupied to focus on the necessary tasks

I thought a drive might make it okay
I hoped that a ride might relieve my stress

I thought a drive would take it all away
I believed a drive would alleviate all my pressures

I can't shake what's hanging over me
I can't rid myself of what's burdening me

I can't shake it this brain freeze
My mind is blocked and unable to function optimally

Bad things come in more than threes
Unfortunate events often occur one after the other

I just want to
I only desire to alleviate my worries

I want to want to
I desire to want to relieve my worries

Come on, I want to
I'm trying to convince myself to find a solution

And I feel so bad
I'm overwhelmed by negative emotions

I like the sound of the urban din
The chaos of the city is my interest

I like the sound it fits the mood I'm in
I like that this frenzied rhythm mirrors my mood

The city plays it's manic song
The city embodies its frantic nature

The city plays I want to sing along
I'm moved by the intensity of the city vibes

Bad things keep happening to me
I'm experiencing unlucky occurrences frequently

I just can't shake what's hanging over me
I'm unable to move past what's troubling me
