Big Bad Love
Escaping the Grip: A Journey Beyond Love's Addiction
Lyrics
I gotta slow down, I'm moving too fast
I feel the need to slow down because I'm moving too fast.
The rate I'm going, no, I ain't gonna last
The pace I'm maintaining is unsustainable, and I fear it will lead to my downfall.
My hands are shaking, my liver's worn
I am experiencing physical signs of distress - shaky hands and a worn-out liver.
My lungs are empty and my heart's been torn
My lungs are empty, and I'm emotionally devastated (heart torn).
I've been running so crazy, running so wild
I've been engaging in reckless behavior, desperately trying to forget someone.
Trying to run her out of my mind
Despite my efforts, thoughts of the person I'm trying to forget persist.
Feels like getting off some mean old drug
The experience of trying to move on feels like overcoming a powerful and harmful addiction.
Coming down off big bad love
I am in the process of recovering from a significant and harmful love (big bad love).
Every place I go and every face I meet
Everywhere I go and everyone I meet, I am reminded of the person I'm trying to forget.
I see my baby smiling back at me
I see images of my beloved smiling, haunting me in various places and faces.
I cry and cry and I walk the floor
I am emotionally overwhelmed, crying and pacing in distress.
But I don't wanna hurt no more
Despite the pain, I am determined not to endure further suffering.
I've been running so crazy, running so wild
Continuing the theme of engaging in reckless behavior to forget someone.
Trying to run her out of my mind
Despite my efforts, thoughts of the person I'm trying to forget persist.
Feels like getting off some mean old drug
Emphasizes the difficulty of overcoming the addictive nature of the past love.
Coming down off a big bad love
I am in the process of recovering from a significant and harmful love (big bad love).
I've been running so crazy, running so wild
Continuing the theme of engaging in reckless behavior to forget someone.
Trying to run her out of my mind
Despite my efforts, thoughts of the person I'm trying to forget persist.
Feels like getting off some mean old drug
Emphasizes the difficulty of overcoming the addictive nature of the past love.
Coming down...
The song suggests an incomplete thought or perhaps the idea that the struggle is ongoing.
I've been running so crazy, running so wild
Continuing the theme of engaging in reckless behavior to forget someone.
Trying to run her out of my mind
Despite my efforts, thoughts of the person I'm trying to forget persist.
Feels like getting off some mean old drug
Emphasizes the difficulty of overcoming the addictive nature of the past love.
Coming down off a, coming down off
Reiterates the process of recovering from the overwhelming and harmful love.
Coming down off big bad love
