Good Luck
Lisa Kekaula Basement Jaxx Lyrics
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 Lisa Kekaula's song Good Luck depict a strong sense of bitterness and resentment towards a former lover. The opening lines challenge the idea of life being a carefree playground and convey a sense of disillusionment towards someone who is perceived to be too self-assured and naive. The lines "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" are particularly striking, serving as a warning to the subject of the song to wise up before it's too late.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "Good luck in your new bed, Enjoy your nightmares honey, When you're resting your head," effectively captures the sense of anger and disappointment felt by the song's narrator towards their former partner. The lyrics also touch on themes of empowerment and self-love, with the final lines of the song expressing a confidence and independence that comes from moving on from a toxic relationship.

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! 👍
