Bad News
Melting Insides and Parking Lot Screams: Unveiling the Heartache in Bummer Hill's 'Bad News'
Lyrics
Are ya gonna tell me anything you're thinking that I'd like to hear?
Questioning if the person will share positive thoughts.
Seems like bad news on my doorstep every time that you come near
Associating the person's presence with negative news or events.
I can tell that you're not hearing anything of what I have to say
Perceiving a lack of attention or understanding in communication.
So I'm screaming in my car before I leave my parking space
Expressing frustration by resorting to screaming in the car.
I know
Not specified; may indicate a pause or emphasis.
You're just thinking out loud
Assuming the person is expressing thoughts without consideration.
You don't know I'm not so well
Highlighting the unawareness of the speaker's emotional state.
And I've been thinking about us
Reflecting on the relationship and its challenges.
And how I'm not enough
Expressing a feeling of inadequacy in the relationship.
It's been a long time coming but
Suggesting a prolonged period of issues in the relationship.
You said it yourself
Reiterating a previous statement about relationship challenges.
You said it yourself
-Is this gonna be the type of thing you think about when you're alone?
Questioning if the person will dwell on the relationship when alone.
Because I feel my insides melting when I see you hit my phone
Describing a strong emotional reaction when the person contacts the speaker.
And I know you're gonna hate me when I tell you that I'm not gonna stay
Anticipating negative emotions when revealing the decision to leave.
So instead I'll make up answers to those questions that I hate
Choosing to fabricate answers to avoid unpleasant questions.
And I know
Repeating the idea of the person thinking aloud.
You're just thinking out loud
Reiterating the lack of understanding of the speaker.
You don't know me I can tell
Emphasizing the speaker's perception of not being known.
And I've been thinking about us
Continuing to contemplate the challenges in the relationship.
And how you're not so tough
Noting the perceived vulnerability of the person.
To make me feel like such a dunce
Expressing a feeling of being made to feel foolish or inadequate.
You must be so fucked up
Suggesting the person is troubled or emotionally disturbed.
And now you've got me fucked
Acknowledging the impact of the person's state on the speaker.
It feels like bad news on my door
Repeating the association of the person with bad news.
And I've been wanting so much more
Expressing a desire for more from the relationship.
It feels like bad news at my door
Reiterating the feeling of receiving bad news.
And I've been wanting so much more
Repeating the desire for more from the relationship.
'Cause every single time we touch
Highlighting dissatisfaction in physical touch.
It just feels like you've had enough
Suggesting a sense of emotional exhaustion in the relationship.
