You Give Love a Bad Name
PelleK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You give love a bad name
Ohhh...
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven
But pull me to hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
Ohhh.
You're a loaded gun
Ohh.
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, darling
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you played your game
Darling you give love a bad name
And you give love a bad name
Ohhh.
You're a loaded gun
Ohh.
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, darling
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you played your game
Darling you give love a bad name
And you give love a bad name
In "You Give Love a Bad Name," the singer appears to be addressing their lover who has hurt them in a significant way. They are feeling trapped and suffocated by the love and attention they're receiving, which they liken to "chains of love" that they cannot break free from. The person they're addressing appears to be manipulative and deceitful, promising them paradise but delivering them to hell instead. They liken this person to a loaded gun, indicating that they're a danger to themselves and the people around them. In the end, the damage has been done, and no one can save the singer from the pain of the betrayal they've experienced.
The singer is expressing their disillusionment with love and how it can be used as a tool to cause pain and destruction rather than bringing joy and happiness. They feel as though love has been given a bad reputation by people who make promises they cannot keep and manipulate others for their own benefit. The lyrics suggest that the person they're addressing is a common offender in this regard, but by extension, the criticism can be felt more widely. This song serves as a cautionary tale on the dangers of putting one's trust blindly in another person without being aware of their intentions.

Ryuhoshi imho saying "no homo" is a bit homphobic* - if you feel it is bad if internet-strangers think you're homosexual you're implying being homosexual is not as good as being heterosexual...
*I don't like the term "homophobic" either, as it implies one is afraid of homosexuals, while it really is hate instead of fear... :/
(And I'm not implying you're a homophobic, or anything, but this is just how I feel about the "no homo" term... )
AND: Yes, pretty sick singing, as always :)
