Not So Bad
Yves V & Ilkay Sencan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why)
(I got out of bed at all)
(The morning rain clouds up my window)

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

(Bad)
(Bad) I can't see at all
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

I can't see at all
I can't see at all

(My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why)
(I got out of bed at all)
(The morning rain clouds up my window)

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all

(Bad)
(Bad) I can't see at all
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall




It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yves V & Ilkay Sencan's song Not So Bad explore the theme of feeling down and questioning the reasons for getting out of bed in the morning. The line "My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all" highlights the feeling of lethargy and disillusionment with one's daily routine. The morning rain clouds up the window, making everything seem gloomy and grey. However, the presence of a picture on the wall provides a glimmer of hope and reminds the singer that things are not all bad.


The repetition of the phrase "It's not so bad" throughout the song serves as a hopeful mantra of sorts, emphasizing the importance of finding small things to hold onto during difficult times. The use of the word "bad" also serves as a play on words, as it can refer to both negative emotions and the idea of not being able to see clearly (i.e. "I can't see at all"). The song presents a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, encouraging listeners to find small moments of joy even in the darkest of times.


Line by Line Meaning

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I am feeling defeated and my beverage is no longer hot, I am uncertain about the reason why


I got out of bed at all
I am questioning the choice I made to leave my resting place


The morning rain clouds up my window
The rain is obstructing my view of the outside world through my window


And I can't see at all
The weather is impeding my ability to have a clear view of my surroundings


And even if I could, it'd all be grey
If I were able to see clearly, everything outside would still appear colorless and unexciting


But your picture on my wall
I have a photo of you nearby


It reminds me that it's not so bad
The photo brings me comfort by reminding me that there are things in my life that make it worthwhile, despite the challenges


It's not so bad
Things are not as terrible as they may seem


(Bad) I can't see at all
The weather is causing me to feel negatively because of my inability to see outside
