(Girls)
어저껜 꽤나 길게 전활 해놓고
눈을 피해 겨우 짧은 인사뿐인걸
늘 연결이 끊기는 wi-fi 같이 굴지
어딘가 꼬인 coding 속을 모르겠어 도저히
인정하긴 싫어 솔직히
한 걸음 다가가면 두 발쯤 물러나 넌
또 이런 식이야 sick of love
애매하게 구는 넌
Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy
괜히 센치해져 난
Sad girl, sad girl, sad girl
오늘 밤도 up alone
You think I'm a bad villain
아냐 look into my eyes
(Honey) eyes (뚝뚝) I'm
너의 혈액형, 나이 그리고 키
니가 자주 보고 웃는 meme
오이를 싫어하는 것과
Beyonce를 좋아하는 것까지
이거 봐, 다 알어, 한 번만 봐줘
어디가, 어디가, 어디가 진짜?
아마 난 다른 애들과 다르고 싶어 이러는 걸지도 몰라
알아줘 조금만, 그러니 가지 마
I'm not a bad boy, don't be sad, girl
사실 말이야 I'm so into you (can't believe)
단지 모르겠어 how to deal (baby, it's so easy)
무심한 듯 chic한 척
사실 다 concept인걸
난 보기보다 서툴러
오해인 걸 I'm not a
Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy
울리긴 싫어 like a
Sad girl, sad girl, sad girl
오늘 밤도 up alone
잠이 안 와 up alone
아리송해 정말 (yeah-yeah-yeah)
왜 이럴까 진짜? (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
모르겠어 answer 너를 푸는 방법
어긋나는 signal
자꾸 애매하게 굴지 마
Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy
괜히 센치해져 난
Sad girl, sad girl, sad girl
너도 나와 같을까?
(Look at me, feel like me, look at me yeah, yeah)
오늘 밤도 up alone
너는 어떨까?
잠이 안 와 up alone
The lyrics of O. Rex's song "Bad Girl" depict a story of unrequited love and confusion in a relationship. The first verse explores the dynamic between two individuals, with the boys and girls in the lyrics representing both perspectives. The singer reminisces about a past encounter where they make an effort to initiate a longer conversation but only receive short greetings in return. The metaphor of a constantly disconnecting Wi-Fi signal symbolizes the inconsistency and difficulty in establishing a connection. The singer feels lost in a complicated situation, unable to understand the other person's intentions.
The chorus of the song delves into the singer's emotions and perceptions. They suspect that the other person might not be genuinely interested in them, but admitting this truth is something they are averse to. They observe a pattern where every time they take a step closer, the other person takes two steps back, resulting in a love-hate sentiment. The singer considers themselves a "bad boy" and a "sad girl" due to the emotional turmoil caused by this unbalanced affection.
In the second verse, the singer challenges the perception of being a bad person. They invite the other person to truly look into their eyes and see who they really are, beyond surface judgments. The singer mentions various things they know about the other person, such as their blood type, age, height, and even their preferences like disliking cucumbers and liking Beyonce. They assert that the other person should give them a chance to prove that they are different from others and not deserving of being labeled negatively. They plead for understanding and ask the other person not to leave.
The bridge of the song expresses the singer's genuine feelings. They confess that they are genuinely drawn to the other person, not being able to believe it themselves. However, they feel uncertain about how to handle their emotions and the disparity between their cool outward persona and the inner concept they portray. The singer admits to being inexperienced and fears being misunderstood as a bad person. They express a desire not to hurt the other person like they have been hurt before, as they don't want to be perceived as a "bad boy" or a "sad girl." The lyrics end with the singer contemplating whether the other person might share similar feelings or experiences, leaving an open question.
Overall, "Bad Girl" conveys the complexities of unrequited love, insecurities, and the struggle to convey genuine feelings in a relationship. The lyrics highlight the internal conflict and confusion faced by the singer, contrasting their perceived bad image with their inner vulnerability and longing for connection.
