Bad Girl
Mia Aegerter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is all my fault
I'm the weak one without a thought
Daddy went away
Mommy's on the balcony
Smoking and I'm so tired
She's talking crazy, she said she's dying
She's been lying in bed for days acting funny
I think she's hiding
I couldn't take it no more
I couldn't bear it no more
It's not hurting me after all these years
I still hear the noise
I'm a bad bad girl
It is all my fault
I'm the weak one without a thought
He's been crying and going wild
She's talking crazy, she said she's dying
She's been lying in bed for days acting funny
I think she's hiding
I couldn't take it no more
I couldn't bear it no more
It's not hurting me after all these years
I still hear the noise
In Mia Aegerter's song "Bad Girl," the lyrics convey a sense of guilt and responsibility that the singer feels for their family's dysfunction. They claim to be a "bad bad girl" and attribute all of their family's problems to their own faults, saying that they are "the weak one without a thought." The singer's father has left, and their mother is struggling with addiction and mental health issues. The singer describes feeling exhausted by their mother's behavior and the constant chaos at home. They seemingly blame themselves for not being able to handle it, saying "I couldn't take it no more/I couldn't bear it no more." Despite this, they acknowledge that the trauma they experienced still affects them, saying "It's not hurting me after all these years/I still hear the noise."
This song speaks to a common experience of feeling responsible for one's family's struggles, even when those struggles are far beyond one's control. The singer's sense of guilt and shame is palpable, and the repetition of the phrase "It is all my fault" underscores this. Additionally, the singer's mother's addiction and mental health struggles highlight the ways in which these issues often impact entire families, with children often bearing the brunt of the emotional labor involved.
