Bad Intentions
TransViolet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never could say no to a free high
Take a hit, take a sip ′til I reach my limit
Role one in the kitchen, light it up, pass it back 'round to me
Gimme, pills from your pocket, to the table, to my right hand
To my tongue, to my blood, to my synapse
Every inch of my skin iridescent

Are you trynna get me drunk?

Are you trynna get me high?
Are you trynna take me home?
I′m just trynna have a good time
I'm just trynna have a good time
Are you trynna get me drunk?
Are you trynna get me high?
Are you trynna take me home?
I'm just trynna have a good time
I′m just trynna have a good time

I don′t give a fuck about your bad intentions
I've got the feels
I′m on another level, no inhibitions
I've got the feels
I don′t give a fuck about your bad intentions
I've got the feels, got the feels, got the feels
Hey, hey

I never could say no to a joyride
Feelin′ it, kickin′ it, think I reached my limit
Streetlights gettin' blurry, upper time, space time, dancin′ with me
Gimme pills from your pocket, to the floor, to my left hand
Pick it up, throw it back like whiplash
Call me Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Are you trynna get me drunk?
Are you trynna get me high?
Are you trynna take me home?
I'm just trynna have a good time
I′m just trynna have a good time

Are you trynna get me drunk?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TransViolet's "Bad Intentions" speak to the rush of hedonistic pleasure one can experience by indulging in drugs and alcohol. The first two stanzas describe in vivid detail the sensation of taking drugs - rolling a joint, popping pills, feeling the "iridescent" sensations throughout the body. The refrain "Are you tryna get me drunk? Are you tryna get me high?" is repeated several times, indicating a level of suspicion regarding the motives of the person offering the drugs. However, the singer seems to enjoy the risk and thrill, asserting that they're only trying to have a good time and emphasizing their sense of liberation from inhibition. The second half of the song continues in this vein, describing the euphoria of a joyride while under the influence of drugs.

Despite the carefree tone of the chorus, the phrase "bad intentions" suggests a darker undercurrent, hinting at the possibility of danger or manipulation. The singer seems to some degree aware of this, but chooses to ignore it, prioritizing the present moment of pleasure over any potential consequences. In many ways, "Bad Intentions" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of indulgence, but in its soaring chorus and infectious beat, it also captures the allure of that very danger.

We are rolling a joint in the kitchen, lighting it up, and passing it around to each other to smoke

Gimme, pills from your pocket, to the table, to my right hand
Give me the pills from your pocket, place them on the table, and I will take them with my right hand

To my tongue, to my blood, to my synapse
The pills are being metabolized in my body, affecting my brain chemistry and altering my perception

Every inch of my skin iridescent
I feel like my entire body is glowing and illuminated

Are you trynna get me drunk?
Are you attempting to intoxicate me with alcohol?

Are you trynna get me high?
Are you trying to get me under the influence of drugs?

Feelin′ it, kickin′ it, think I reached my limit
I am fully enjoying the experience, but I believe I may have gone too far

Streetlights gettin' blurry, upper time, space time, dancin′ with me
The streetlights are becoming distorted and blurred due to the influence of drugs, and I am experiencing a psychedelic dance with time and space

To the floor, to my left hand, pick it up, throw it back like whiplash
The pills fell to the ground, so I picked them up with my left hand and consumed them quickly

Call me Lucy in the sky with diamonds
I feel as if I am living in a surreal world, similar to the psychedelic imagery from the Beatles' song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'

I've got the feels, got the feels
I am experiencing intense emotions and sensations
