Bad taste
Passafire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me so thirsty for you
Come and quench me while my love is running out
And let me tell you how much I adore you
I adore you, I adore you
Because you come to me and then you run from me
Stole my heart away it was a robbery
Everyone's got the right to be free
This kind of loving is the painful kind
Wish we could be making love in the rain full time
But let's be truthful, our youth is useful
If I was waiting in vain, I'd be so blind, so blind,
So blind, so blind, so blind
And this bad smell in the air
If you were here with me I wouldn't even care
I'd take you to the beach where we first met
And try to see if I could meet you again
Because you reel me in, then you throw me right back
Just when I thought we were on the right track
Everyone's got the right to be alone
But I wish you would just call me on the telephone
This kind of loving makes a man so weary
When a man loves a woman so dearly
Girl listen up, I'm saying it so clearlly
But I don't think you hear me now, so
This kind of loving makes a man so weary
When a man loves a woman so dearly
Girl listen up, I'm saying it so clearlly
But I don't think you hear me now, so
Let's go!
The song "Bad taste" by Passafire is a heartfelt confession about the complexity and pain of love. The first line "And this bad taste in my mouth, makes me so thirsty for you" sets a tone of bitterness and longing. The singer is confessing that despite everything that has happened, they still want to be with the person who has caused the bad taste. He wants them to quench his thirst for love while acknowledging that his love is running out. The repetition of "I adore you" emphasizes how strong and honest his feelings are.
The next verse talks about how the person he loves keeps coming and going from his life. They have stolen his heart, and he is helpless in this situation. Even though everyone has the right to be free, he is determined not to give up on this love. The painful kind of love he is experiencing is making him wish they could be together all the time, but he understands that their youth is useful, and he is okay with waiting for them.
The chorus repeats the same lyrics, emphasizing the weariness and frustration that the singer feels. He wishes the person he loves would call him on the telephone, and he longs to meet them again at the beach where they first met. The song is a beautiful yet painful anthem for anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of love.
