Up to No Good
Reckless Redemption: Up to No Good by India Ramey Unveils a Midnight Rebellion
Lyrics
Well I’ve been down so bad lately
Expressing recent hardships or difficulties.
I don’t know what to do
Feeling uncertain and overwhelmed.
Can’t seem to get away from all the gloom and doom
Struggling to escape a negative atmosphere.
Every time I read the news
Negative impact of news consumption on mood.
Oh, it’s clear we’re all screwed
Feeling a sense of collective despair.
I’ve been down so bad
Reiteration of personal difficulties.
So tonight I’m up to no good
Choosing to engage in questionable behavior as a response.
Chorus:
Repeating the decision to engage in questionable behavior.
Well put me on the east side super highway
Desire to be on a fast-paced, dynamic path.
Take me to the Door so I can get busy getting sideways
Seeking excitement and adventure at a specific location.
Well I’ve worried all I could
Expressing exhaustion from worrying.
Don’t want to do anything I should
Intentionally avoiding responsible actions.
I’ve been down so bad so tonight I’m up to no good
Reiteration of the decision to engage in questionable behavior.
I’m going broke making records on my own
Financial strain from independent music production.
Now the money’s all gone
Financial hardship despite artistic efforts.
But I’ve still go student loans
Mention of ongoing student loan obligations.
Don’t want to think about the truth
Avoidance of confronting a challenging reality.
I need to get turned up
Desire to elevate mood through intoxication.
So turn me loose
Request to be set free from current worries.
I’ve been down so bad
Restating personal struggles.
So tonight I’m up to no good.
Reaffirmation of engaging in questionable behavior.
Mama told me nothing good happens after midnight
Recalling maternal advice about late-night activities.
Well that’s exactly what I have in mind
Expressing intention to engage in questionable behavior after midnight.
Don’t get the wrong idea Mr. Pick up Dude
Clarification that the singer is not available as a mere source of entertainment.
I ain’t your party favor
Rejecting a role as a casual party accessory.
Is that understood?
Ensuring that the message is clear and understood.
I’ve just been down so bad
Reiteration of personal struggles leading to the decision to engage in questionable behavior.
So tonight I’m up to no good
Confirmation of the intention to engage in questionable behavior tonight.
