Bad News
Breaking Hearts: The Unspoken Words of 'Bad News'
Lyrics
Walking around as though
Expressing observation of someone appearing silent or uncommunicative.
You've got nothing to say
Suggesting a lack of meaningful content or contribution from the person being addressed.
And I'm talking around in circles
Describing one's own communication as repetitive or unproductive, reminiscent of past experiences.
Just like yesterday
Comparing the current situation to a similar one from the past, implying a sense of monotony or stagnation.
So tell me can you hear me?
Seeking confirmation of being heard or understood.
Did you break the bad news?
Raising a question about delivering unwelcome information or revealing a difficult truth.
Tell me did she hear you?
Asking whether someone else (possibly a third party) received the mentioned bad news.
Or is she still in your bed?
Raising the possibility of the person referred to in the bad news still being romantically involved.
Wake up, makeup
Listing actions related to the morning routine, possibly signaling a sense of routine or habit.
Breakup, it don't enter her mind
Suggesting emotional detachment or lack of consideration in the aftermath of a breakup.
She hears what she wants to
Highlighting selective hearing, where the person only processes what aligns with their desires.
Till you stop being kind
Implying that kindness has ceased, and a change in behavior has occurred.
So did you find the courage?
Inquiring about finding the inner strength to convey difficult information.
Did you break the bad news?
Reiterating the question about delivering unwelcome news.
Did she start to crying?
Asking if the recipient of the bad news displayed emotional distress.
Or is she still in your bed?
Revisiting the possibility of a continuing romantic involvement despite the bad news.
Nine years down the drain
Expressing regret or disappointment over a significant period of time gone to waste.
Oh shame this cruel twist of fate
Reflecting on the unfortunate and unexpected turn of events.
Ask me though and I'll say
Offering a personal perspective that considers the situation as delayed or overdue.
This was nine years too late
Suggesting that the mentioned time span was excessive or unnecessary.
So tell me can you hear me?
Repeating the earlier question about being heard after delivering difficult news.
Did you break the bad news?
Reiterating the query about breaking unwelcome news.
Tell me did she hear you?
Asking whether the third party acknowledged or comprehended the bad news.
Or is she still in your head?
Suggesting that the impact of the bad news continues to affect the person mentally.
