Bad Luck
Núria Graham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad luck you're welcome
Stay here by my side
Waiting for the next thing
To change the plans I had
Well, I see that things happen
Beause they're meant to be like that
Woke up this morning
Whit a book in my hands

It talked about nonsense
It seems it got into my head
Well, I see that things happen
Because they're meant to be like that
But as long as you're by my side
I don't with a fuck about my bad luck
You drop by just to say hello
And then you tell me about all your new songs
I love my bad luck
I love my bad luck
Summer, it's funny,
What a great start that was
Thinking about the same thing
You realize that time has passed
Well, I see that if you're still here
It's because it's meant to be like that
Karma, my old friend
What the hell have I done now?
I'm trying just to have fun
But you don't seem to like that
Well I see that if you're still here
It's because it's meant to be like that
But as long as you're by my side
I don't give a fuck about my bad luck
You drop by just to say hello
And then you tell me about all your new songs
I love my bad luck
I love my bad luck

I love my bad luck
I love my bad luck

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Núria Graham's song "Bad Luck" speak about the unpredictable nature of life, specifically about the unexpected events that disrupt our plans. The repetition of the phrase "Bad luck, you're welcome" at the beginning of the song implies that the singer has come to terms with the inevitability of such setbacks, and accepts them with open arms. The line "We're waiting for the next thing to change the plans I had" suggests that the singer is not afraid of change, and is willing to move forward even if it means altering their current course of action. Furthermore, the lyrics reveal that the singer finds comfort in having someone they love by their side to face these unexpected challenges, as the presence of this person makes their "bad luck" more bearable.

The second verse takes a more introspective turn, as the singer references a book they read that "talked about nonsense" and "got into [their] head." Here, the lyrics may be interpreted as commenting on the idea that sometimes we are influenced by things we don't fully understand, and that this unpredictability is ultimately a part of life. The references to Karma and the idea of "trying to have fun" but facing resistance from an unseen force also contribute to the themes of the song. The refrain "I love my bad luck" reiterates the message that the singer has come to accept and even embrace the unpredictability of life, and that ultimately having someone they love by their side makes it all worthwhile.

Line by Line Meaning

Bad luck you're welcome
Welcoming misfortune

Stay here by my side
Hope for companionship even during tough times

Waiting for the next thing
Expecting life to throw more hardships

To change the plans I had
Thwarting my original goals

Well, I see that things happen
Philosophical acceptance of fate

Because they're meant to be like that
Attributing occurrences to destiny

Woke up this morning
Reflecting on life

Whit a book in my hands
Reading intellectual literature

It talked about nonsense
Realizing intellectual pursuits sometimes lead to absurdity

It seems it got into my head
Intellectual pursuits can alter one's worldview

But as long as you're by my side
Relationships take precedence over life's events
