bad guy
Lya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isn’t my father isn’ another man
Who will tell me ‘lil looser”

I wish I could be perfectly free
become like him ..a winner

And I sing and cover up, I play and cover up, just I will be a bad guy
And I say and cover up ,play and cover up
Just I will be a bad guy


Sit on the sofa, beer in my right hand
Watching a soccer game

Wish I could be perfectly free
And became a very bad guy bad guy bad guy

And I sing and cover up, I play and cover up, just I will be a bad guy




And I say and cover up ,play and cover up
Just I will be a bad guy

Overall Meaning

In Lya's song "Bad Guy," she opens up about the insecurity and need for validation she feels from her father. In the first verse, she confronts the idea that her father may not be the figure she hopes he is, and worries that he sees her as a "loser." She longs to be "perfectly free" and become a "winner" like her father. This pressure to live up to her father's expectations drives her to create a persona of a "bad guy," someone who is confident and unapologetic about her choices.


The second verse sets the scene of Lya sitting on the sofa, drinking beer and watching a soccer game – a stereotypically masculine activity. She again expresses the desire to be free from expectations, to become a "very bad guy." Throughout the song, Lya uses the repetition of the phrase "bad guy" and the act of covering up or playing to reinforce the idea that she is performing a role, one that she hopes will give her the validation and freedom she desires.


Overall, "Bad Guy" is a deeply personal and introspective song that delves into themes of identity, masculinity, and the pressure to live up to parental expectations. Lya's honest lyrics and emotive vocals make for a powerful message that many listeners can relate to.
