Bad
The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I know she'll be the death of me
At least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when
We're deep in love this I know
(This I know) , yeah, girl, I know
'Cause now I'm dancin' in the dark
Got a spot down on fifth street
Drinkin' whiskey at the bar
Got some random guy with me
And he doesn't know my name
But he thinks that I'm pretty
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again

Got a girl with California eyes
And I thought that she could really
Be the one this time
But I never got the chance to make her mine
Because she fell in love with
Little thin white lines
London girl with an attitude
We never told no one, but we look so cute
Both got way better things to do
But I always think about it
When I'm riding through

She told me, "Don't worry about it"
She told me, "Don't worry no more"
We both know we can't go without it
She told me, "You'll never be alone", oh, oh

'Cause now I'm dancin' in the dark
Got a spot down on fifth street
Drinkin' whiskey at the bar
Got some random guy with me
And he doesn't know my name
But he thinks that I'm pretty
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again

I always wanna run outside back door
And shut down the city
Kissing strangers on the back
Wakin' up with some hickies
Took like four too many shots




Hope the hangover kills me
Oh, I swear, I'm never gonna drink again

𝘓𝘌𝘛𝘙𝘈/LYRICS
Swish, bih
Move that shit out here
You full off one sip
Fallin' off but I got grip
All around the trap, it hit
All around the map, you trip
Take it like nine out of ten
Think they gon' find that again
Think I gotta bond out again

Behind the tint, I sin, I vent
Can't forget about that place we went
Right after you put that in my head
Do you still pop 'em? Do you dance?
Do you still drop some'? Know you can
I got a lot, but I'm still chancin'

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

Hace tiempo no te veo, eh
Es que ahora en Miami jangueo, eh, eh
Ya no tengo la Rodeo
Ahora en la G-Wagon, spoteo, ey

Y te lo meto al frente de la playa
Como aquello' tiempo' de camino a Maya
Tú ni fumaba' y, chingando, te arrebaté
Dale, no pierdas tiempo, no lo piense', trépate

Tú bien loca, loca
Yo bien loco, loco
Si ahora tu mai nos pilla
Me pide una foto

La nota me explota
El ticke' lo exploto
Vamo' pa' Cayo Musha
Ya le texteé al piloto, eh-eh

I know 'bout this one time
You felt like that winner, winner
That night was just so fire
I need you back sooner, sooner
You come back on this side
When shit get back cooler, cooler
We run it back one time
I'm grabbin' you uno

Ooh (uno)
Ooh-ooh (mm-mm, mm-mm)
Ooh (mm-mm, mm-mm)
Ooh-yeah (mm-mm)

Mix the drugs with the pain
Let the waves lead the way
You in Cannes and Saint-Tropez
Callin' out my name

You know I'm wrong in my face, uh
You know I'm high off that K-pop
Rubbin' up on your body
All your clothes, you gon' take off

South of France, we gon' party
This ain't some lil' yachty
We gon' fuck till we seasick
You my bad lil' mami, mami

You love me
You could tell me you love me
Even if you don't mean it
Sex'll make you believe it
I love it when she up on me
Love when she'll call me papi
Even though she Korean
Get her wet like tsunami, 'nami, ooh, yeah

I know 'bout this one time
You felt like that winner, winner
That night was just so fire
I need you back sooner, sooner
You come back on this side
When shit get back cooler, cooler
We run it back one time
I'm grabbin' you uno

Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah (uno)

To those who are still seeking, still questioning, still not sure about their faith, here's an invitation.

Understand that we, as humans, are limited. We often make mistakes, go astray, and lose our way. It's not about perfection; no one is. As it is stated in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Recognize that actions alone won't bring ultimate salvation. It's not about counting good deeds against the bad. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."

Believe in the transformative power of love and forgiveness embodied in Jesus Christ. He laid down His life so we could find ours. The Bible states in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

True change and enlightenment come when we turn away from our old life and towards a new one – one guided by compassion, love, and humility. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."

Express your faith, not only in words but also in actions. Embrace love, kindness, and righteousness, just like how Jesus lived His life. As Romans 10:9 suggests, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Consider baptism, a symbolic gesture of your new journey, your decision to leave the old behind, and embark on a new life in Him. Matthew 28:19 encourages us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Lastly, remain steadfast. Consistency in following Jesus and His teachings is the key. As Jesus says in John 14:15, "If you love me, keep my commands."

This is not a demand but a warm invitation. ...nn
