Bad Luck
Terra Alive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No going straight, no turning back
The driver of this car knew
Where we were in fact
I wish she would've told me that
Where the hell is my cold heart at?
Once you mentioned that there would be beer
I jumped into your car and we drove very far
And how do I get my self
Caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
I had a dream that
Everything would be alright
It camе in the form of a girl
She could rock my fucking world
I know this girl
She's been around for all my lifе
I fell in love with the thought of
Her ever since we kissed that night
But oh, she don't like me much
The only reason that we kissed
Because we were so drunk
And you came around with
Your liquor propositions
And how do I get my self
Caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
Your pale skin Asian eyes, cute little lips
I need to sit
How could someone of a beautiful
Nature make me slip
And of course as you grew older you
Had more boys up on your shoulder
Bathe in the attention that they gave
My heart is growing colder
The older we got, every little kiss we
Had made it harder and harder
That's why I always wanted you back
Back in my sweaty palms
Are you ready for me to sing you to sleep?
Angry and sad, lustful and mad
Your feelings for me, my feelings for you
Lost and confused what can I do
But just move on and start a new?
Say nasty things that were never meant
And now I'm full of regret, and those teary
Eyes redefined my perspective
But I've got no safety net
And I'm very sorry for tear drops
That I made you pour
Your tears created an ocean
And I'm washed up on the shore
So now I walk and roam, thinking about it all
Alone, never thought it would be like this
In the heat of your bed
While making you sweat
And I don't think you can
Handle my voice right now
I'll be upset with you until
I find someone else
I don't think you can handle
My voice right now
I'll be upset with you until
I find someone else
And I don't think you can
Handle my voice right now
I'll be upset with you until
I find someone else
I don't think you can handle
My voice right now
I'll be upset with you until
I find someone else
Until I find someone else
The lyrics of "Bad Luck" by Terra Alive depict the singer's tumultuous journey through a complex and emotionally challenging relationship. The comparison of their life to a cul-de-sac symbolizes feeling stuck and unable to move forward or turn back, trapped in a cyclical pattern of experiences. The reference to the car's driver knowing their destination implies a sense of longing for clarity and understanding in the relationship, questioning why important information was not shared earlier.
The singer reflects on how they consistently find themselves entangled with this person again, despite past difficulties and uncertainties. The repeated questioning of how they end up caught up in this cycle highlights the struggle to break free from a toxic dynamic or unfulfilling connection. The mention of alcohol as a catalyst for impulsively jumping into the car and driving far suggests a desire to escape or numb the complexities of the situation.
The introduction of a dream where everything would be alright, embodied in the form of a girl who could potentially bring joy and fulfillment, presents a contrast to the harsh reality of unrequited feelings and shallow interactions. The disappointment and realization that the connection was fueled by alcohol rather than genuine emotion adds a layer of melancholy to the narrative. The singer's longing for a deeper connection clashes with the superficiality of the encounters and the other person's lack of genuine interest.
The final verses delve deeper into the tumultuous emotions experienced within the relationship, from anger and sadness to longing and regret. The singer expresses a mix of conflicting feelings towards the other person, acknowledging the pain caused while also grappling with their own flaws and mistakes. The repeated declaration of seeking someone else until the current turmoil is resolved reflects a desire for change and growth, acknowledging the need to break free from the destructive patterns and find a healthier path forward. Overall, "Bad Luck" encapsulates the complexities of love, longing, and self-discovery within the context of a turbulent relationship.

Cul-de-sac, my life is like a cul-de-sac
My life feels stagnant, like a dead end with no way out
No going straight, no turning back
I'm stuck in a situation where I can't move forward or look back
The driver of this car knew Where we were in fact
The person leading the way was aware of our true destination
I wish she would've told me that
I wish they had been honest about where we were headed
Where the hell is my cold heart at?
I feel emotionally detached and numb
Once you mentioned that there would be beer I jumped into your car and we drove very far
I impulsively followed along when alcohol was involved, leading to a far journey
How do I get my self Caught up in you again?
Why do I keep getting emotionally entangled with you?
I had a dream that Everything would be alright
I held onto hope that things would turn out well
It came in the form of a girl She could rock my fucking world
This dream was embodied by someone who seemed perfect for me
I know this girl She's been around for all my life
I have known this person for a long time
I fell in love with the thought of Her ever since we kissed that night
I developed feelings for her after a significant moment
How do I get my self caught up in you again?
Why do I keep getting drawn back to you?
Your pale skin Asian eyes, cute little lips I need to sit
Your physical features captivate me and make me feel weak
How could someone of a beautiful Nature make me slip
It's surprising how someone attractive can make me lose my composure
But oh, she don't like me much The only reason that we kissed Because we were so drunk
She doesn't have strong feelings for me, and our kiss was likely influenced by alcohol
And you came around with Your liquor propositions
You offered alcohol, setting the stage for impulsive decisions
Your feelings for me, my feelings for you Lost and confused what can I do But just move on and start a new?
Our conflicting emotions leave us feeling lost and unsure, but moving on may be the best option
Say nasty things that were never meant And now I'm full of regret, and those teary Eyes redefined my perspective
Spoken words in anger now filled with regret, tears changing my outlook
But I've got no safety net And I'm very sorry for tear drops That I made you pour
I have no fallback option and regret causing you pain
Your tears created an ocean And I'm washed up on the shore
Your emotional turmoil overwhelms me and leaves me feeling stranded
And I don't think you can Handle my voice right now
I don't believe you're ready or able to deal with my emotions at the moment
I'll be upset with you until I find someone else
I will remain upset with you until I find someone new in my life
