Bad Luck
Nominee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
AND IF THEY DON'T THEN WE'LL STAY HERE TOGETHER
HOLDING ON, WAITING BY THE WAYSIDE
BUT I HATE THE WORLD FOR SPINNING AROUND YOU
AND NEVER SLOWING DOWN WHEN IT HAS TO
SO WE'RE HOLDING ON,
WADING IN THE RIPTIDE
I WISH I COULD SAY
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW
WHEN ALL I DO IS TRY
TO DOWNPLAY THE BAD LUCK IN MY LIFE?
ME AND MYSELF DOUBT, ALWAYS SECOND GUESSING
I'M HARDER TO BE AROUND THAN TO LIVE WITHOUT
BUT WE'VE CHOSEN A PATH
AND IT'S ALL BROKEN GLASS
BUT WE'LL COME OUT WITH CALLUSES
I WISH I COULD SAY
THAT THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW
WHEN ALL I DO IS TRY
TO DOWNPLAY THE BAD LUCK IN MY LIFE?
THE WAY IT HAS TO BE
HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
THE HARD TIME, LONG NIGHTS AND TOUGH BREAKS
WONT BE ENOUGH TO BREAK ME
Nominee's song "Bad Luck" is an emotional and introspective track that explores the idea of staying with someone through tough times, while trying to find a way to manage one's own negative experiences. The song begins with a hopeful message that things will eventually get better, and if they don't, they will stay together to face it all. The second verse introduces a sense of frustration with the world, as it continues to spin around their struggles without ever stopping. The chorus finds the singer acknowledging their inability to guarantee everything will be ok, despite their efforts to downplay the bad luck in their life. The third verse addresses the singer's own doubts and insecurities, expressing their own awareness of being difficult to be around. The final lines find a sense of empowerment in accepting that their path may be broken and difficult, but they will come out with calluses and won't be broken by the hard times.
The song's lyrics offer a heartfelt and vulnerable exploration of difficult times, and the challenges of trying to navigate through them. It is a message of hopelessness, alongside a determination to endure even when things take a turn for the worse. It speaks to the vulnerability that comes with trusting someone, and the difficulty of managing one's own emotions while supporting someone else through their own struggles.
