No Good
soayla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

burning up, like a bug on the concrete
you're the sun, magnified
I feel complete
summer weather! (it gets better)
I'm a shell of myself, didn't realize
I was so captivated by your lies
little white ones, not the right ones
I'm good, I'm good, I do things for you
everything you wanted me to
and what, and what do you bring for me?
nothing, so I'm closing the door
can't be down with you anymore

he's no good for you
no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away
he's no good for you
no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away

help me to understand where you're at, please
can't see forest, I only see palm trees
love is blind, you're quite a find though
think I'm asking impossible things now
you've got answers I don't want to hear now
girl, it's over!
go to yoga
oh, breathe
just meditate
maybe we can let this one go
this little idiot child you date
is no good for your life, don't you know?
you do, you love the drama —people say

he's no good for you
no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away
he's no good for you
no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away

I don't know. I don't know where I find them
seek the bad ones and I get behind them (behind them!)
I don't know, I don't know where the good ones are
but it's fun this American boy safari (ha ha)

he's no good for you
no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away
he's no good for you




no good for — let it fade away
let it fade away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soayla's song "No Good" seem to be about a romantic relationship that has ended. The singer talks about feeling burned and used up like a bug on the concrete by the other person's magnified presence. Despite his captivation with her, he now realizes that he was lured in by her lies, referring to them as "little white ones" that were not the right ones. However, he still claims to have done everything the person wanted him to do. The chorus emphasizes that the other person is no good for him or her and it's time to let the relationship fade away.


The second verse shows the singer asking the other person to explain where she is at, but she doesn't seem to see the big picture, only seeing palm trees instead of the forest. He calls her a find, but states he is asking impossible things. They exchange harsh words and then the singer suggests she try yoga and meditation. The outro finds the singer still somewhat perplexed by his attraction to bad boys, referring to it as an American boy safari.
