BAD FEELING
Veronica Falls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is only getting clearer
When i close my eyes
Every single day and every night
Uuh uuh
Now ..my shoulder
Tryin to remember
If you were even real
I don't remember
I've got a bad feeling, bad feeling
A bad bad feeling, bad feeling
Is not going away, going away
It's not going away.
Uuh uuh
Waiting for the weather
I know will never get here
Tryin to forget him
That everything went wrong
I don't remember
I've got a bad feeling, bad feeling
A bad bad feeling, bad feeling
Is not going away, going away
It's not going away.
I've got a bad feeling, bad feeling
A bad bad feeling, bad feeling
And it's not going away, going away
It's not going away.
The lyrics to Veronica Falls's song Bad Feeling are about someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. They describe the way that the memory of their ex-lover is still very vivid in their mind, to the point where they can almost see their face when they close their eyes. At the same time, however, the relationship has left the singer feeling cold and distant – they mention a feeling of their shoulder getting colder, which suggests they have become emotionally closed off.
The singer is torn between two conflicting emotions: the pain and sadness of the relationship ending, and a sense of confusion about whether it really happened at all. They mention trying to remember if their former lover was even real, as if the experience was so traumatic that it feels almost like a dream. The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "I've got a bad feeling, bad feeling," speaks to this sense of anxiety and unease. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their past and move on, and the bad feeling seems to be standing in the way of their ability to do so.
Overall, the lyrics to Bad Feeling are a poignant depiction of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a relationship that has left deep emotional wounds. They capture the way that memories of past loves can linger on in our minds long after the relationship is over, and the emotional toll that can take on us.

This sounds very haunting with Patrick on backing vocals now. Veronica Falls will always be a top band to listen to, full of great songs the time they were together. Hope the remaining members of the band are keeping strong after the tragic loss. Great drummer/vocalist he was and from those who knew him a great lad

I'm sorry. I just discovered your, their music. I like Alvvays which Waiting for something to happen reminds me of a little, some of their last album. I just got a couple of your albums on CD as I have a really nice special music doctor set up in my jeep and do a lot of driving for work and other. Anyway you are/were great and I wish you well and feel bad for your loss. I'm sure it still affects you. I've had much loss in my life of friends and acquaintances, so I kind of know a little about these matters.

@Eric Peterson Lovely message Eric and am sure the remaining band members appreciate your kind words. I actually managed to get a signed frame of “waiting for something to happen” by Veronica Falls that I bought, found on eBay from this gr8 indie band and hangs with pride on my wall. Glad you like both their albums as they’re indie gems.
