Evil Boy
Stiv Bators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Zero - Secich)
I am an evil boy...
I been real bad and I don't know why
Maybe I just like to see you cry
Maybe I just wanna tell you lies
So I can have fun
I feel no guilt for what I did
I'm just a nasty little kid
I want the world to do my bid




So I can have fun
I am an evil boy...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stiv Bators's song "Evil Boy" describe a character who revels in being bad, and causing others emotional pain. The singer confesses that he enjoys seeing people cry and lying to them for his own enjoyment. He expresses no remorse for his actions, and even expresses a desire to control the world around him. The repeated refrain of "I am an evil boy" serves to reinforce his sense of identity as someone who takes pleasure in being cruel.


The song can be interpreted as a commentary on toxic masculinity, and the ways in which it can be corrosive to both the individuals who embody it and the people around them. The singer's behavior can be seen as a manifestation of this toxic mindset, as he seeks power and validation through domination and emotional manipulation. However, the singer's flippant tone throughout the song also suggests a certain immaturity, and a lack of understanding of the consequences of his actions. This could be seen as a warning against the dangers of unchecked privilege and entitlement.
