Bad Side
Twiztid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the end of the night, when the moon rises to illuminate
What was hidden shadow during the day a demon with white knuckle rage, anger and
Anticipation hatred and segregation
Murky waters that's infected with blood of the fallen
You Might want to hang up a phone in case Heaven come callin
Until then we walk with the dead Here on the badside

Verse monoxide
I was warned when I was baptized I was born to walk the badside
Nothin more its just a fact i I was born to walk the badside
I know that I'm rotten to the core
Inside of my medulla oblongata
And it sort of caused problems
Like holes in a condom
Bring on that wicked shit
We only want that wicked shit
And it really just so happens that me and that one got a wickedness
I'm the wrong end of a pistol grip when in a song
But mind your listenin' Ill take it all if your given it
Blood is the life that were living in
Made it a problem to be it for the throne
Anybody want to lay claim to this
I got another way of making this dangerous
Without a wicked flow
This time you fucked with the wrong J-U-double-G-A-L-O
With a no I'm M to the O-N-O
But jugg-a-lie your stereo ?

I'm walking on the bad side
Is there anybody want to war with me
I'm having a bad time
Find my way back to reality
I'm walking on the bad side
Is there anybody want to war with me
I'm having a bad time
Find my way back to reality

There's a place where it survives
The graveyard that lives inside of my mind
Its where all of my feelings they go to die
I was born to walk a bad side
I know what my mind saw ?
From the dark of the night I'm a creature breathing
A grenade with the pin gone
Ready to explode just give me that reason
If these mother fuckers Want to light
then ready set they better be prepared to ?
die like Walk the edge of reality
Until they jump and they swan dive On the bad side
I'm the shadows that swoop around you
I'm the feeling you get inside when they doubt you
Your not alone cause I'm letting you know Were out there
The world is cold who gives a fuck if they don't care
Sick and demented ready for greatness
You either love or hate this
Carnival life of all double headed axes,
Underground freak shows and painted faces
We are the exiles outcast mutant for the X files
World wide wicked is a lifestyle
And we psycho skitzo with twiztid smiles

I'm walking on the bad side
Is there anybody want to war with me
I'm having a bad time
Find my way back to reality
I'm walking on the bad side
Is there anybody want to war with me
I'm having a bad time
Find my way back to reality

So shun me worlds been dragging me down
Now I'm ugly no beauty to be found
Chuck me somewhere deep in the underground
Bad blood, bad luck, bad sight, bad sound
So shun me worlds been dragging me down
Now I'm ugly no beauty to be found
Chuck me somewhere deep in the underground




Bad blood, bad luck, bad sight, bad sound
So shun me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bad Side" by Twiztid are a haunting portrayal of living life on the edge. When the sun goes down and the moon rises, the shadows come alive revealing the dark side of humanity. The lyrics bring forth images of a demon with anger and anticipation that fuels on hatred and segregation. The murky waters infected with the blood of the fallen hint towards a violent history, one that is almost palpable. The refrain "Here on the badside" reinforces the notion that there's a duality to everything in life.


The lyrics in Monoxide's verse reveal that he's aware of the dark side of his personality. He raps about how he was born to walk the bad side and that he knows that he's rotten to the core inside of his medulla oblongata. He talks about the problems that have arisen due to this and how he only wants the 'wickedness.' The lyrics almost make him seem like he's embraced his 'bad' side entirely and he's willing to embrace whatever consequences come his way. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics read like a plea of sorts to understand him, embrace him for who he truly is despite the bad blood, bad luck, bad sight and bad sound.


Line by Line Meaning

At the end of the night, when the moon rises to illuminate
When darkness falls and the moonlight reveals what was hidden


What was hidden shadow during the day a demon with white knuckle rage, anger and
The demon that exists within, full of unyielding anger and hatred


Anticipation hatred and segregation
The expectation of hate and division


Murky waters that's infected with blood of the fallen
The tainted waters filled with the blood of those who have lost their lives


You Might want to hang up a phone in case Heaven come callin
Be prepared to face judgment, as death can come at any moment


Until then we walk with the dead Here on the badside
Until death, we live amongst the darkness on the wrong side of the tracks


I was warned when I was baptized I was born to walk the badside
From the moment I was christened, I was destined to live a life of darkness


Nothin more its just a fact i I was born to walk the badside
Living in darkness and evil is an unavoidable reality


I know that I'm rotten to the core Inside of my medulla oblongata
I am inherently wicked, corrupted at the core of my being


And it sort of caused problems Like holes in a condom
My wickedness has caused issues, much like holes in a condom can result in unwanted consequences


Bring on that wicked shit We only want that wicked shit
We embrace our dark nature and seek out others who do the same


And it really just so happens that me and that one got a wickedness
I have found someone who shares my wicked nature


I'm the wrong end of a pistol grip when in a song
My lyrics and persona are dangerous and provocative


But mind your listenin' Ill take it all if your given it
Pay attention to my words, as I will seize every opportunity given to me


Blood is the life that were living in Made it a problem to be it for the throne
Our lives are sustained by the blood we shed, making it difficult to claim any sort of authority or power


Anybody want to lay claim to this I got another way of making this dangerous
Anyone who tries to challenge us will be met with peril, and we have many methods to ensure our triumph


Without a wicked flow This time you fucked with the wrong J-U-double-G-A-L-O
If you're not coming from a place of wickedness, you've made a mistake by getting involved with us


With a no I'm M to the O-N-O But jugg-a-lie your stereo ?
I am Monoxide, but my music and message may be too dark for some listeners


There's a place where it survives The graveyard that lives inside of my mind
My thoughts and feelings are like a graveyard within my mind, where negativity and darkness thrive


Its where all of my feelings they go to die I was born to walk a bad side
My emotions are consumed by the darkness, which is all I have ever known


I know what my mind saw?From the dark of the night I'm a creature breathing
My mind is filled with visions of darkness, and I am a living embodiment of the terror that lurks in the shadows


A grenade with the pin gone Ready to explode just give me that reason
I am a dangerous and explosive force, just waiting for a reason to unleash my fury


If these mother fuckers Want to light then ready set they better be prepared to ?die like Walk the edge of reality
Anyone who wants to test us will face deadly consequences, as we live on the edge of madness and reality


I'm the shadows that swoop around you I'm the feeling you get inside when they doubt you
I am like a shadow, following and lurking around those who feel doubtful or insecure


Your not alone cause I'm letting you know Were out there The world is cold who gives a fuck if they don't care
We are here to support those who feel alone in a cruel and cold world, regardless of what anyone else thinks


Sick and demented ready for greatness You either love or hate this
We embrace our twisted and disturbed nature, and revel in the fact that some people will love us, while others will hate us


Carnival life of all double headed axes, Underground freak shows and painted faces
We are part of a chaotic and twisted carnival-like lifestyle, full of unconventional and bizarre characters


We are the exiles outcast mutant for the X files World wide wicked is a lifestyle And we psycho skitzo with twiztid smiles
We are outsiders and outcasts, embracing our otherness and strange nature. We live a life of wickedness, and proudly sport our insane grins


So shun me worlds been dragging me down Now I'm ugly no beauty to be found Chuck me somewhere deep in the underground
The world has rejected me, making me feel ugly and unwanted. I belong in the underground, away from society's judgement and scrutiny


Bad blood, bad luck, bad sight, bad sound So shun me
I am plagued by negative circumstances, leading others to shun and reject me

I love this song, hell the whole album really. I want to say this is my favorite Twiztid album, but that's not right. The truth is, this is my favorite album ever, hands down, no album from any group, or genre can compare as far as I am concerned. Weird part is, rap isn't even in my tops for favorite genre. I will say one last thing praising this album, Twiztid took what dwindling Dark Carnival magic was left, and amplified it times 100 to make this album. I can't find anything released by Psychopathic that even comes close to touching this. The wicked, the humor, the raw sexuality (Referring to Return of the Pervert FYI), the middle finger to haters attitude, it shines through so well. This whole album is like the dark light in the darkness, if that makes any sense.

It's been years since I listened to twiztid. My dad even died a juggalo. Man it's been a long time.

Majin Kai420

My pops passed away a juggling as well. Our first concert was icp twiztid amazing jekyll bros tour 1999

AshtontheCryptid

Y'all have some cool memories with your dads!! I hope they are both resting in peace. My dad would never even give ICP the time of day because of the makeup and the hip hop. I still love him though lol. I've been down with the clown since Riddlebox and not changing. I remember when Twiztid debuted!! Fucking good times man.

Mitch Allen

@AshtontheCryptid I dropped my hatchet years ago. The lifestyle was doing nothing but causing negativity in my life. And after he passed I went down a real bad path. I turned to Christ and stopped smoking and drinking about 6 years ago.

This song reminds me of what I can become if I let my anger get the best of me.

I do miss him. In order for me to have moved on amd continue life and succeed in general I had to completely forget about him. Everytime I thought of him I wanted to cave someone's face in. He was like a brother to me.

The Welfair Shop

I still remember my redneck truck driver father hearing twiztid and going Holy fuck this guy can rap. Had to let him know theor where 2 artists on basicly every song.

Mitch Allen

@The Welfair Shop some of the fee rap artists that I cared to listen to. Mostly because we all came from the same broken city.
