Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think you're the real deal honey
And someone'll always look after you
But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
You sold me sold me
Sold me down the river now
Hope you're feeling happy now
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
Don't give a damn no more
Oh baby bye bye
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Without you
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares when your resting your head
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
The lyrics of this song, "Good Luck", by Lisa Kekaula, is a warning disguised as a farewell to a person who is under the impression that life is just a playground, and everything will be taken care of automatically. The song's opening line, "Tell me tell me, is life just a playground?", implies that the singer is not convinced that life is a game. The next line, "Think you're the real deal honey," indicates that the person being addressed is self-absorbed and narcissistic. The singer then warns the person that they are deluded and will end up lonely and possibly even dead if they do not wake up to the harsh reality of life.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's belief that the addressee will not and is not equipped to handle the realities of the world. The lines "Good luck good luck, good luck in your new bed, enjoy your nightmares honey when you're resting your head" suggest that the person will not be able to sleep easy and will be haunted by the consequences of their decisions.
The song's verses reveal that the singer was betrayed by the person they are addressing, and now they are standing tall independently. The song celebrates the singer's newfound strength and freedom from the manipulations and lies of their ex-partner.

Tell me tell me is life just a playground
Are we really just playing games with our lives?
Think you're the real deal honey
You believe you're the best, don't you?
And someone'll always look after you
You have a safety net to catch you if you fall.
But wake up baby
You need a reality check, my friend.
You're so totally deluded
You're completely wrong about everything.
You'll end up old and lonely
You'll be alone and unhappy.
If you don't get a bullet in your head
If you don't wise up, you might as well die.
Good luck good luck
I hope you're lucky.
Good luck in your new bed
Have fun in your new life without me.
Enjoy your nightmares honey
I hope you have bad dreams.
You sold me sold me
You betrayed me.
Sold me down the river now
You left me stranded.
Hope you're feeling happy now
I hope you're satisfied with yourself.
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
You'll never truly be happy.
And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
I'm thrilled to be rid of you.
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
You can't hurt me anymore.
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
You tried to break me, but I'm strong.
Don't give a damn no more
I don't care about you anymore.
Oh baby bye bye
Goodbye.
No more lies
I won't listen to your lies anymore.
Without you
I'm better off without you.

Tell me, tell me,
Is life just a playground?
Think you're the real deal, Honey?
And someone will always look out for you?

@listianocrowe
Listened to this for so long after I was betrayed by someone and, not only are the words perfect, but the voice has enough gravel and venom to sell the emotion! Beautiful, ballsy, ballistic and brilliant! 👍
