One of the Bad Ones
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling True Colors in 'One of the Bad Ones'
Lyrics
Hey I'm the body you used to love
Expressing the speaker's identity as the person the listener used to love.
You grew tired of old me you had enough
Acknowledging the listener's fatigue with the old version of the speaker.
I thought of changing for the grace you made me feel
Contemplating a transformation for the sake of the positive emotions induced by the listener.
I'm better off with someone that wants me for real
Deciding to move on and find someone who genuinely desires the speaker.
It's so simple for the mind to give up
Reflecting on the ease with which the mind gives up in challenging situations.
But when you've seen what I've seen that's how things work
Highlighting the speaker's unique experiences that influence their perspective on life.
It's so easy for the heart to feel stuck
Noting the simplicity of feeling emotionally stuck in a challenging situation.
But when I fall I can't just leave it for luck
Expressing the difficulty of abandoning a situation to luck when the speaker falls emotionally.
Thank God you turned out to be one of the bad ones
Grateful realization that the listener turned out to be one of the "bad ones."
Thank God your true side was hanging on the billboards
Thanking fate for revealing the true nature of the listener, displayed publicly.
Thank God you turned out to be one of the bad ones
Reiterating gratitude for discovering the listener's negative qualities.
Thank God your true side was hanging on the billboards
Expressing relief at the visibility of the listener's true self on billboards.
Hey I drove by dropped all your stuff
Describing the act of leaving and discarding the listener's belongings.
This can get ugly I'm done it's rough
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty and roughness of the situation.
I thought of staying just to catch a final glimpse
Considering staying briefly to capture a final memory before letting go.
I shook it off some things are better being ripped
Deciding to let go, as some things are better left broken.
It's so simple for the mind to give up
Repeating the theme of the mind's simplicity in giving up in challenging situations.
But when you've seen what I've seen that's how things work
Reiterating the impact of unique experiences on the speaker's perspective.
It's so easy for the heart to feel stuck
Re-emphasizing the ease with which the heart feels trapped in challenging emotional situations.
But when I fall I can't just leave it for luck
Highlighting the challenge of relying on luck when the speaker emotionally falls.
Thank God you turned out to be one of the bad ones
Grateful acknowledgment that the listener revealed their negative qualities.
Thank God your true side was hanging on the billboards
Expressing gratitude for the public display of the listener's true self on billboards.
Thank God you turned out to be one of the bad ones
Repeating the thankfulness for discovering the listener's negative traits.
Thank God your true side was hanging on the billboards
Reiterating relief at the visibility of the listener's true nature on billboards.
I don't think that you mind at all
Suggesting the listener is indifferent to the speaker's feelings.
I saw it when you said goodbye
Recalling the moment of parting when the listener said goodbye.
Since I knew that you didn't fall
Assuming the listener did not emotionally invest in the relationship.
I pray that you get out of my life
Expressing a desire for the listener to exit the speaker's life.
Thank God you turned out to be one of the bad ones
Grateful realization that the listener turned out to be one of the "bad ones."
Thank God your true side was hanging on the billboards
Thanking fate for revealing the true nature of the listener, displayed publicly.
