Bad
Oriana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toxic, I want to be clean
You stick your drugs into my veins
Can′t get enough of this damn pain
I'm pretty weak, but I′m also strong
It's only you who can dress me wrong
Somedays your love can feel so fake
Yeah, in a minute or so I break
I′m getting, I'm getting tired of you
′Cause when we hit replay it is reminding me
That I should leave you 'cause you′re
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you 'cause you′re
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you 'cause
We got too much of us somehow
Sometimes we're happy, then we′re not
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause you're
We′re like a kingdom of broken dreams
We ruled the world in my fantasy (Ah)
With hidden tears, we go hand in hand
We look so fine in our messy land
Like an old summer hit, it's pretty good, that′s it
I'm getting, I′m getting tired of you
'Cause when we hit replay it is reminding me
That I should leave you 'cause you′re
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause you're
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause
We got too much of us somehow
Sometimes we're happy, then we′re not
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you 'cause you′re
Like an old summer hit, it's pretty good, that's it
I′m getting, I′m getting tired of you
'Cause when we hit replay it is reminding me
That I should leave you ′cause you're
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause you're
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause
We got too much of us somehow
Sometimes we're happy, then we're not
Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad
That I should leave you ′cause you′re
The lyrics of Oriana's song, "Bad," speak about a toxic relationship that the singer wants to leave behind. The opening lines use the metaphor of the smell of gasoline, which is deep and powerful, to convey the strong hold the other person has on her. The singer wants to be clean, implying that she wants to break free from the toxic influence of the other person. However, she feels addicted to the other person's drugs, which is causing her pain. Despite feeling weak and vulnerable, the singer recognizes her inner strength and acknowledges that it is only the other person who can weaken her.
The chorus of the song features the repeated phrase "Bad, bad, bad, bad, oh, bad, bad," emphasizing the toxicity of the relationship. The singer realizes that the relationship is not making her happy, and she should leave it behind. She compares the relationship to an old summer hit, saying that it was good in the past, but now it's stale and overplayed. Even though there were some happy times in the relationship, they were too few and too far between. Ultimately, the singer realizes that she needs to leave the other person behind for her own wellbeing.
