bad guy
Ofln - Billie Eilish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm only good at being bad, bad
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy
Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad
guy
The lyrics of Billie Eilish's song "bad guy" are full of contradictions and irony. The first verse describes a violent encounter with someone who is "creepin' around like no one knows." The chorus introduces the idea of a "tough guy" who likes it "rough," but who is also easily controlled. The second verse delves into Eilish's personal relationships, with a nod to her mother and an admission that she is only "good at being bad."
The song's main theme seems to be the idea of power dynamics in a relationship, with Eilish playing the part of the bad guy who enjoys being in control. This theme is explored through a series of contradictions and reversals, such as the idea of a "bad guy" who is only good at being bad, or a "tough guy" who is easily manipulated. The chorus is particularly effective at painting a picture of a character who is simultaneously intimidating and vulnerable, with lines like "chest always so puffed guy" contrasted with "make your girlfriend mad tight."
Overall, "bad guy" is a complex and multi-layered song that subverts traditional gender roles and explores the idea of power dynamics in a relationship. Through her clever wordplay and deft use of irony, Eilish has crafted a song that is both darkly humorous and thought-provoking.

White shirt now red, my bloody nose
My shirt is stained with blood from my bleeding nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
You're being cautious as you quietly move around
Creepin' around like no one knows
Sneaking around without being noticed
Think you're so criminal
You believe you're breaking rules and being rebellious
Bruises on both my knees for you
My knees are bruised from doing something for you
Don't say thank you or please
I don't want any gratitude or politeness from you
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
I like to act on my impulses and do whatever I desire
My soul? So cynical
I have a pessimistic and distrustful view of the world
So you're a tough guy
You present yourself as being tough
Like it really rough guy
You prefer roughness and intensity
Just can't get enough guy
You desire and need an extreme experience
Chest always so puffed guy
You puff out your chest to appear confident
I'm that bad type
I have a reputation for being a bad influence
Make your mama sad type
I'm the type of person who would disappoint your mother
Make your girlfriend mad tight
I'm the type of person who would make your girlfriend jealous
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the type of person who could potentially attract your father
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the one who embodies the unapologetic bad character
I like it when you take control
I enjoy it when you take the lead
Even if you know that you don't
Even though it's clear you don't have any power over me
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I may not belong to you, but I'll let you play the dominant one
I'll be your animal
I'll let you have your way with me
My mommy likes to sing along with me
My mother enjoys singing along with me
But she won't sing this song
But she wouldn't approve of this particular song I wrote
If she reads all the lyrics
If she were to read all the explicit lyrics I wrote
She'll pity the men I know
She would feel sorry for the men I associate with
I'm only good at being bad, bad
I'm skilled at making bad choices
I like when you get mad
I enjoy seeing you angry
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
I'm happy that you're single
You said she's scared of me?
You mentioned that she's afraid of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
I don't understand why she would be scared of me
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
Maybe it's because I'm wearing your scent, which makes me appear closer to you
I'm a bad guy
I'm the type of person you should avoid
I'm, I'm a bad guy
I have a double-downed reputation for being bad
Bad guy, bad guy
I'm definitely not a good person
I'm a bad
I'm not a good influence
