No Good
Young & Sick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flickering like fireflies (Yuh)
Staring into space and I wonder why
I chose to lie
Cause I'm no good at goodbyes
Why did I not tell the truth?
Like I ain't have much to lose
Now I got that chip on my shoulder like a broken tooth
Now I sound like Charlie Puth
Gotta step up in the booth
Make a phone call to crew
Didn't pick up wait for their call
Emotions are wide, ceilings were tall
Couple mistakes ended it all
Headed full speed into the wall
Spring into gear round of applause
Had a good catch felt like I'm Moss
Aint cuffing season I'm breaking the law
Summer is over now wait for the fall
I got way too attached no patience
I was in a fake world like the matrix
Out here treating her to dinner and some bracelets
Not for home runs but for base hits
Blaming her she's in the wrong kisses came in cheap
Do you even love me or you in it for the greed?
She said I move to fast and need to slow my speed down
Told her it's easy to pass since she can't keep up with me now
Flashing lights they're passing by (Yuh)
Flickering like fireflies (Yuh)
Staring into space and I wonder why
I chose to lie
Cause I'm no good at goodbyes
Why did I not tell the truth?
Like I ain't have much to lose
Now I got that chip on my shoulder like a broken tooth
Will I see you again?
Now I sound like Charlie Puth
Gotta step up in the booth
Make a phone call to crew
Flashing lights they're passing by (Yuh)
Flickering like fireflies (Yuh)
Staring into space and I wonder why
I chose to lie
Cause I'm no good at goodbyes
I'm no good at goodbyes
I'm no good at goodbyes
In these lyrics, Young & Sick reflects on a failed relationship and confronts their own flaws and mistakes. The flashing lights and flickering fireflies symbolize passing moments and uncertainties. It seems the singer is lost in their own thoughts, wondering why they chose to lie instead of telling the truth. They confess their inability to say goodbye and express regret for not being honest about their feelings.
The reference to Charlie Puth suggests that the singer is trying to vocalize their emotions and seek redemption. Stepping up in the booth and making a phone call to their crew may imply that they are reaching out for support and guidance in this difficult time. However, the lack of response from the crew adds to the singer's emotional turmoil, as their emotions are wide-ranging, and the feeling of confinement is heightened with tall ceilings.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's mistakes, which resulted in the end of the relationship. They mention sprinting into the relationship with enthusiasm and making a series of errors that eventually led to a collision with a metaphorical wall. The singer had a strong connection with their partner, comparing it to catching a football like Randy Moss, but it seems they were not ready for a committed relationship, as stated by breaking the law during cuffing season.
The singer acknowledges their own attachment issues and impatience. They confess to living in a fake world, perhaps denying their own true emotions and denying the reality of the relationship. The gesture of treating their partner to dinner and gifts emphasizes their genuine intention, but it is overshadowed by the accusation that their partner was only in the relationship for personal gain.
A dialogue between the singer and their partner reveals a conflict in pacing. The singer moves too fast for their partner, who suggests that they should slow down. The singer responds by highlighting how easy it is for them to leave since their partner cannot keep up with them anymore. This exchange showcases a disconnect in the relationship and implies a lack of mutual understanding and compatibility.
Overall, these lyrics convey the singer's self-reflection, regret, and struggle with goodbyes. They express their difficulty in being honest and confront the consequences of their actions. The lyrics explore themes of personal growth, facing one's flaws, and the complexities of relationships.
