Bad Street
Twin Sister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel it with you, in you feel it
Feel it with you, in you feel it
Feel it with you, in you feel it
Feel it with you, feel it in you

Make it a commotion with you
Make it a commotion in you
Seeing all the glimmer in you
Seeing all the glimmer with you
Feeling with you, feeling in you

I want it bad, I want it bad (repeat)

Feel it with you, feel it in you

I want it bad, I want it bad (repeat)

Tell me a story, something I can picture
Bad house, bad street
Tell me a secret, I won't tell anyone

Bad house, bad street
Tell me whatever
Give me something to do
Bad house, bad street

Make me a promise 'cause I
I want it bad, I want it bad (repeat)
(peep peep) I want it

Bad house, bad street
Big hands, big feet
Got a car, beet, beet
Bad boy, bad street





Good kids, two kids
Got a job, feeds three

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Twin Sister's song "Bad Street" present a mixture of sensations and imagery that are conveyed through a cyclical repetition of short, catchy lines that can evoke a sense of nostalgia or yearning. The central theme seems to be a longing for some kind of intensity or excitement that has been lost or is yet to be found. The repetition of the phrase "Feel it with you, in you feel it" can be interpreted as an invitation to embrace a shared experience, whether it is sensory, emotional, or physical. This feeling is intensified by the refrain "I want it bad, I want it bad," which suggests that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to experience the rush of the moment.


The second part of the song shifts the focus to storytelling, as the singer asks for a tale that can transport them to another place or time. The phrase "Bad house, bad street" is repeated several times, suggesting that this is the setting of the story, which might involve secrets, promises, or dangerous liaisons. The use of the term "commotion" in the first verse can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the turbulence or unpredictability of life, which the singer wants to embrace rather than avoid. The final lines of the song introduce a new set of characters, a good family with two children and a job that supports them, which can be seen as a contrast or an alternative to the "bad" life that is hinted at earlier.


Overall, "Bad Street" is a song that invites the listener to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the thrill of the moment, while also acknowledging the complexity and ambiguity of human experience.

This is my family :) Latinos come in many shades and It's hard for people to accept. Not all brown people are Mexican, these are Salvadorians and Puerto Ricans. Not that there is anything terrible about being Mexican. They are the beautiful people! The lyrics and video are about Latin American life in NY. Love, Andrea Estella xo

@gummyboots

I'm so glad there's a modern band pumping out early Stereolab-esque tunes.

This is some Dots & Loops quality stuff.

I've never had such a cool birthday party when I was younger, this looked like a lot of fun. Love twin sister :)

Sooooo excited to see them when they come to Atlanta in January. I've been a big fan since their first album came up in the blog charts 3 or 4 years ago. Best indie band!

@lemonpappaya
