Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bad badbye, no goodbye
Bad badbye, no goodbye
Bad badbye, don't say goodbye
Bad badbye, 'cause it's a lie
Bad badbye

Kill me, kill me softly
Kill me, kill me softly
Kill me, kill me softly
날 산산조각 내줘
Kill me, kill me softly (kill me)
Kill me, kill me softly (kill me)
Kill me, kill me softly
날 산산조각 내줘

You and I
Bad try
You and I
And I cry
You know why




I cry
You know why

Overall Meaning

The song Badbye by RM and eAeon is a powerful expression of the pain and heartbreak that comes with a bad goodbye. The repeated phrase "bad badbye" emphasizes the finality of the situation and the sense of betrayal that comes with false promises. The haunting lyrics "kill me, kill me softly" describe the desire to escape the pain through death, and the following line "나 산산조각 내줘" (give me to pieces) speaks to the desperation to escape the situation, even if it means losing oneself entirely.


The chorus's repetition of "you and I, bad try" implies that the relationship was doomed from the start and highlights the futility of the situation. The line "and I cry, you know why" suggests that the singer's partner is fully aware of the pain they are causing but chooses to ignore it anyway.


The use of both Korean and English in the lyrics emphasizes the universal nature of heartbreak and the difficulty of expressing it fully in any language. The haunting melody and sparse instrumentation further emphasize the emotions behind the lyrics, making this a powerful and meaningful song about the pain of a bad goodbye.
