Up to No Good
Up to No Good: A Reckless Symphony of Desire by Dylan Rouda
Lyrics
I’m on standby
I am ready and waiting.
Hoping you’ll come through
Hoping for your arrival or response.
Been waiting all night
Been waiting patiently all night.
Just to see you
Anticipating the moment I can see you.
I’m calling in sick
Choosing not to go to work or feigning illness.
I’m having late nights
Engaging in late-night activities.
Why would I stop this, oh
Questioning the need to stop these actions, feeling good about it.
I feel fine
Feeling good overall.
We’ve been
Engaged in certain behaviors recently.
Actin’ sorta reckless baby lately
Acting recklessly lately, causing concern from family.
My mama’s calling worried ‘bout my safety
Mother expressing worry about safety.
Slow it down I know I really should
Recognizing the need to slow down.
Are you up - cause I wanna get up to no good
Asking if the other person is awake, expressing a desire to engage in mischievous activities.
I wanna get up to no good
Expressing a desire to engage in mischief.
I wanna get up to no good
Reiterating the desire to engage in mischief.
Are you up?
Checking if the other person is awake.
Cause I wanna get up to no good
Expressing the desire to engage in mischievous activities.
I feel so weightless
Feeling light and carefree.
Feel like i’m dreaming
Feeling like it's a dream.
Oh I should stop this
Recognizing the need to stop certain actions, finding them degrading.
Find it demeaning
Feeling the need to halt certain activities due to a sense of degradation.
We stay up all night
Staying awake all night pursuing a particular feeling.
Chasing that feeling
Pursuing a feeling despite exhaustion.
I’m so damn tired but
Expressing fatigue but not willing to sleep.
Tired of sleeping
Tired of sleeping, seeking excitement.
We’ve been
Continuing the recklessness.
Actin’ sorta reckless baby lately
Acting recklessly, causing concern from family.
My mama’s calling worried ‘bout my safety
Mother expressing worry about safety.
Slow it down I know I really should
Recognizing the need to slow down.
Are you up - cause I wanna get up to no good
Asking if the other person is awake, expressing a desire to engage in mischievous activities.
I wanna get up to no good
Expressing a desire to engage in mischief.
I wanna get up to no good
Reiterating the desire to engage in mischief.
Are you up?
Checking if the other person is awake.
Cause I wanna get up to no good
Expressing the desire to engage in mischievous activities.
We’ve been
Continuing the recklessness.
Actin’ sorta reckless baby lately
Acting recklessly, causing concern from family.
My mama’s calling worried ‘bout my safety
Mother expressing worry about safety.
Slow it down I know I really should
Recognizing the need to slow down.
Are you up - cause I wanna get up to no good
Asking if the other person is awake, expressing a desire to engage in mischievous activities.
I wanna get up to no good
Expressing a desire to engage in mischief.
I wanna get up to no good
Reiterating the desire to engage in mischief.
Are you up?
Checking if the other person is awake.
Cause I wanna get up to no good
Expressing the desire to engage in mischievous activities.
