Bad Mood
The Vaccines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I should loosen up some, baby, I know
But I get angrier with age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Oh, you look disappointed in me
Oh, am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Yeah, I know I'm always givin' you the third degree
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood
A bad, bad mood
I'm in a bad, bad mood
A bad, bad mood
We'll rate, generate, generate some more
So what you singin' 'bout summer for?
Forgive me if I'm untoward
And out of order, but I suspect
That with respect to your perception
You're lookin' in the wrong direction
As I'm sure, you'll conclude
I'm in a pretty awful mood
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
And I know I'm always puttin' it on you
But I get angrier with age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood
A bad, bad mood
I'm in a bad, bad mood
A bad, bad mood
I'm in a bad, bad mood
A bad, bad mood
The song "Bad Mood" by The Vaccines paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship, with the singer warning their partner to be prepared for their anger if they push them too far. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is aware of their tendency to become angry and defensive, particularly as they age. The lyrics "Better to be ready if you rattle my cage" serve as a clear warning to their partner to avoid provoking them.
The following verse continues to explore the dynamics of the relationship, with the singer acknowledging that their partner seems disappointed in them for not being as thoughtful as they had hoped. The use of the phrase "giving you the third degree" suggests that the singer may be overly critical or questioning of their partner, leading to further tension in the relationship.
The chorus, with its repetition of "I'm in a bad, bad mood", conveys the intense emotions that are present in the relationship, and the final verse seems to suggest that the singer is frustrated with their partner's lack of understanding. The line "I'm sure you'll conclude I'm in a pretty awful mood" indicates that the singer feels their partner is unable to sympathize with them, further fueling their anger.
Overall, "Bad Mood" is a song that deals with the complexities of a rocky relationship, with both partners struggling to communicate effectively and manage their emotions.
