Such a bad comedown
Nina Persson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my moves
Would make you smile
Oh, I loved you then
My dear chemical lover
You veiled me in your haze
Like a puppet in your lace
From your
Silverspoon substance
You took me away
Made Monday a Saturday
You stained me with love
And left me in dirty laundry
But I left my ground
For a minute
Your body in my veins
Your power is what remains
You know I never had
Such a bad
Bad comedown
You took me away
Made Monday a Saturday
You stained me with love
And left me in dirty laundry
But I left my ground
For a minute
My oh my
You took pride
In my fuck-up
I've been cursed
And I've been hailed
I have blown it
And I've inhaled
But I never had
Such a bad
Bad comedown
Such a bad
Bad comedown
Such a bad
Bad comedown
The lyrics of Nina Persson's song "Such a bad comedown" talks about the experience of being under the influence of drugs, more specifically, the aftermath of it. The song is a representation of how the singer was able to find love in chemical substances that eventually made her feel like a puppet, controlled by a force beyond her. The song begins with the singer expressing how good she felt when she was under the effect of the drug- the memories of which still make her smile. She describes her experiences as someone who was vailed in the haze-like environment that had an intoxicating effect. Even though she enjoyed her time under the influence, she acknowledges the fact that it led to her downfall, and now she has to cope with how it left her feeling.
The song's verse "You took me away, Made Monday a Saturday" is a reference to the fact that she was able to leave her mundane life behind, even temporarily, but now she's left feeling isolated and alone. The singer's body had been exposed to too many chemicals, which in turn resulted in a feeling of emptiness and disillusionment. The chorus serves as a reminder of the bad comedown that follows making the high seem cheaper in exchange for the after-effects of it.
In conclusion, "Such a bad Comedown" is a narrative of the highs and lows of the experience of drug use - the excitement of it, the euphoria and the addiction eventually leading to the bad comedown- a price mostly paid in isolation and emptiness.

I danced for a while
I spent some time enjoying myself by dancing
And my moves
The way I danced
Would make you smile
It would bring happiness to you
Oh, I loved you then
At that time, I was in love with you
My dear chemical lover
You were my lover who was heavily involved with drugs
You veiled me in your haze
You surrounded me in your drug-induced state
Like a puppet in your lace
I was under your control
Amazing disgrace
It was both incredible and shameful
From your
Due to your
Silverspoon substance
Wealthy and privileged lifestyle that involves drug abuse
You took me away
You brought me into your world of drugs
Made Monday a Saturday
Every day felt like a party
You stained me with love
You gave me intense feelings of love
And left me in dirty laundry
But afterwards, I was left with a mess to clean up
But I left my ground
For a moment, I had control over myself
For a minute
Briefly
Your body in my veins
Your influence still inside me
Your power is what remains
Although you're not physically present, your influence still lingers
You know I never had
I have never experienced before
Such a bad
A very severe
Bad comedown
Negative physical and emotional effects resulting from drug use
My oh my
An expression of surprise
You took pride
You felt satisfaction and joy
In my fuck-up
In my mistake or error in judgment
I've been cursed
I have experienced bad luck
And I've been hailed
I have also experienced success and recognition
I have blown it
I have made mistakes or screwed up opportunities
And I've inhaled
I have also indulged in drug use
Such a bad
A very severe
Bad comedown
Negative physical and emotional effects resulting from drug use
Such a bad
A very severe
Bad comedown
Negative physical and emotional effects resulting from drug use
