Bad News
Love's Battle Cry: Unveiling the Emotional Turmoil in 'Bad News' by Attack the Sound
Lyrics
Now think back a week ago
Reflecting on events from a week ago.
Oh no
Expressing concern or realization.
Now we stayed silent and it killed me slow
Recalling a period of silence that caused emotional distress.
Oh-oh-oh
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the silence.
And now we're face to face trying to save us
Currently facing a relationship crisis and attempting to resolve it.
Next to you I feel alone
Feeling isolated and lonely when close to the partner.
I feel so all alone
Reiterating a sense of loneliness.
All the time I never knew
Expressing surprise about not knowing the partner well.
Ah-ah-ah
Repeating a vocal expression of surprise or realization.
Who you were so tell me are you gonna change
Questioning the partner's potential for change.
I'll be the bearer of your bad news
Taking on the role of delivering unpleasant truths.
Bad bad news
Repeating the term "bad news" for emphasis.
You tried to play me like a damn fool
Accusing the partner of attempting to deceive.
Damn damn fool
Emphasizing the foolishness of the partner's actions.
I know you hate just what we're going through
Acknowledging the difficulty of the current relationship situation.
Going through
Expressing shame but still professing love for the partner.
I'm ashamed to say that while I'm still here loving you
Continuing to bear the burden of the partner's actions.
I'll be the bearer of your
Repeating the role as the bearer of bad news.
I guess it's all been said and done
Acknowledging that everything has been said and done.
I know I'm not the only one
Recognizing that others may share similar experiences.
Ah-ah-ah
Repeating a vocal expression of realization.
Who believes that this is all worth fighting for
Believing in the worthiness of fighting for the relationship.
Don't walk out the door
Urging the partner not to leave abruptly.
Grab your bags and turn around
Instructing the partner to take their belongings and reconsider.
Take my heart from off the ground
Asking the partner to lift the emotional burden.
Ah-ah-ah
Repeating a vocal expression related to realization.
Just so you know there's still a ways for us to go
Indicating that there is still hope for the relationship.
I'll be the bearer of your bad news
Reiterating the role of delivering bad news.
