Bad
Sunrise Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lost somehow
Sailing all them seas
I'm feeling holy
You make me alive
Driving on the wrong side
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
We're in the moonlight
You take me again
You hold me like your own
I can't believe it
You make me begin
I slide in the game you're playing
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
This can't be right
This can't be fair
You make me do the dirty things I usually don't dare
This is not me
And it makes me mad
You have that something on your skin you know
You always make me bad
Yeah, pull my head right
You got me again
Sparks in the air around
You do it so damn fine
I'm being taken into the tunnel of dark
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
No, this can't be right
This can't be fair
You make me do the dirty things I usually don't dare
No this is not me
And it makes me mad
You have that something on your skin you know
You always make me
This can't be right
This can't be fair
You make me do the dirty things I usually don't dare
No this is not me
And it makes me mad
You have that something on your skin you know
You always make me so, so bad
You have that something on your skin you know
You always make me so damn bad
You always make me bad
You always make me bad, so bad, so bad oh so bad
The lyrics to Sunrise Avenue's song "Bad" seem to express the addictive nature of a relationship that is both thrilling and dangerous. The singer is admitting that they are losing themselves and their sense of control to this other person, who seems to have an almost supernatural power over them. They feel alive when they are with this person, but also like they are losing their grip on reality. The relationship is depicted as something illicit and wrong, but at the same time irresistible.
The lines "You make me do the dirty things I usually don't dare/No this is not me/And it makes me mad" suggest that the singer feels like they are being pushed into doing things they wouldn't normally do, but also that they are aware that they are responsible for their own actions. They are angry at this other person for having such a hold over them, but also blaming themselves for being unable to resist.
The repeated refrain of "You always make me bad" reinforces the idea that the relationship is toxic and potentially destructive, but also that the singer cannot quit it. The use of intense imagery, like "the tunnel of dark" and "sparks in the air," adds to the sense of danger and excitement that is driving the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bad" capture the emotional complexity of a relationship that is both alluring and dangerous. The singer is struggling to maintain their sense of self and control, but also feels drawn to this other person in a way that is almost irresistible.
Line by Line Meaning
I got this feeling
I have a certain sensation or emotion
I'm lost somehow
I'm feeling directionless or confused
Sailing all them seas
Traversing life's many challenges and experiences
I'm feeling holy
I'm feeling elevated or sacred
You make me alive
You bring me to life with your presence
Driving on the wrong side
Taking risks or living on the edge
And I just feel I'm really losing my mind
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
We're in the moonlight
In a romantic or intimate setting
You take me again
You have my heart and attention once more
You hold me like your own
You embrace me like I belong to you
I can't believe it
I'm surprised or amazed by your actions
You make me begin
You give me a fresh start or a new beginning
I slide in the game you're playing
I'm getting involved in your world or your plans
This can't be right
This doesn't seem ethical or moral
This can't be fair
This doesn't seem reasonable or just
You make me do the dirty things I usually don't dare
You influence me to act out of character or against my values
This is not me
I don't recognize the person I'm becoming
And it makes me mad
I'm frustrated or angry with myself for giving in to temptation
You have that something on your skin you know
You possess a quality or characteristic that entices me
You always make me bad
You consistently lead me to do things I regret
Yeah, pull my head right
You have control over me
Sparks in the air around
There's an electric atmosphere between us
You do it so damn fine
You excel at what you do and it's enticing to me
I'm being taken into the tunnel of dark
I'm being lured into a dangerous or forbidden situation
You always make me so, so bad
You always bring out the worst in me
You always make me bad, so bad, so bad oh so bad
You consistently lead me astray and I have regrets
