No Good
Royal Thunder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just a dead weight on my ground
You're no good
Time and time again you run your mouth
I see through you
Figured you out
Now you lift me up then you put me down
Behind my back your words get around
Smooth talker, you think you're slick but I don't, don't
I don't like you, leave me alone
You're no good
You're no good no
No good
You're no good
I'm a little tired you hurt my head
You're so draining I'm seeing red
You smooth talker, you think you're slick but I don't, don't
I don't like you, leave me alone
You're no good
Shit, shit, here you come again
But I can see you, snake in the grass
The song "No Good" by Royal Thunder is an energetic and passionate rejection of a toxic individual who is constantly bringing the singer down. The song starts with the singer questioning the other individual's purpose in their life, calling them a "dead weight" and accusing them of just "hanging around." They then go on to explain that they have figured the other individual out and can see past their "smooth talk" and false facade. The chorus, which is repeated multiple times throughout the song creates a strong message that the other individual is "no good" and the singer wants them to leave them alone. In the second verse, the singer describes how the other individual is draining their energy and causing them frustration and anger. They then use the metaphor of a "snake in the grass" to describe how they can see through the other individual's deceitful behavior.
The lyrics of "No Good" by Royal Thunder are a relatable portrayal of how it feels to be surrounded by individuals who are bringing you down and preventing you from reaching your full potential. The song is made even more powerful by its passionate delivery, which is carried by a rock-solid rhythm section, driving guitar lines, and the dynamic vocal performance of Mlny Parsonz. It's a song that demands attention and refuses to be ignored.
