Bad Luck
Woah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday
Thought I saw you in my head
As you leapt into the door
Telling me you want to go home
As I say everything inside my head
It was always in our eyes
Everybody wants to go home
And she said she said something about her face

I know, i know its not the way it feels

If I don't want you, I don't want you
If I go there to, you'll go there too
Its the way I feel
Ah, ah
And I'm off you say its been a day
I know you're right, just talk to me
Its the way I feel
Ah, ah

Yesterday I thought I told you I would stay
We'd turn the night into the day
But everybody wants to go home
You are nothing
I am nothing
You and i were getting in the way

If i don't want you, I don't want you
If I go there too, you'll go there too
Its the way I feel
Ah, ah
And I'm off you say its been a day
I know you're right, just talk to me
Its the way I feel
Ah, ah

Swear to me
Will you wait for me?
You were my friend
We've thrown it away

If I don't want you, I don't want you
If I go there to, you'll go there too
Its the way I feel
Ah, ah
And I'm off you say its been a day
I know you're right, just talk to me

Its the way I feel
Ah, ah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Bad Luck" by Woah delve into themes of confusion, longing, and the struggle to maintain a connection with someone. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about a past encounter, where they believed they saw the person they desire in their mind. However, the person quickly leaves, expressing their desire to go home. This leaves the singer with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that they struggle to articulate. They acknowledge that something about the person's face and their words indicates that things are not as they seem, but they find it difficult to express these feelings.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's conflicting emotions and their uncertainty about their desires. On one hand, they admit that if they don't want the person, they truly don't want them, and if they decide to go to a certain place, they believe the person will follow suit. This shows a sense of detachment and ambivalence. However, the repeated line "It's the way I feel" suggests that despite their confusion, their emotions are undeniable. The bridge introduces a plea for the person to wait for them and acknowledges the dissolution of their friendship, a realization that adds to the complexity of their feelings.

Overall, "Bad Luck" by Woah explores the internal battle between wanting someone and feeling disconnected from them. The lyrics depict a struggle to express these conflicting emotions and an underlying longing for a deeper connection.

Yesterday
In the past

Thought I saw you in my head
Imagined seeing you

As you leapt into the door
Entering with energy

Telling me you want to go home
Expressing the desire to leave

As I say everything inside my head
Voicing my thoughts internally

It was always in our eyes
Visible in our expressions

Everybody wants to go home
Everyone longs for familiarity

And she said she said something about her face
She mentioned something regarding her appearance

I know, i know its not the way it feels
I understand that it's not how it seems

If I don't want you, I don't want you
If I lack interest in you, I truly lack interest in you

If I go there to, you'll go there too
If I venture to a certain place, you'll follow suit
