Bad Times Rock
Embracing Life's Turmoil: "Bad Times Rock" by The Mad Starlings
Lyrics
Good times roll
Expressing enjoyment or positive experiences
Bad times rock
Suggesting that challenging or difficult times are impactful
Monkey in the middle
Referring to a person caught in the middle of a situation
Trying to beat the clock
Attempting to outpace time or deadlines
Life goes fast
Life passes quickly
My brain goes slow
Slow mental processing or contemplation
Caught up in the battle
Engaged in a conflict between allies and enemies
Between friend or foe
Struggling with the distinction between friend and foe
I'll let you know how it feels
Promising to share the emotional experience
Under your spinning wheels
Experiencing emotions while facing challenges
A total loss of control
Complete lack of influence or dominance
Loss of control
Reiteration of the loss of control
Heart like a hole
Comparing emotions to an empty space or void
Good times rock
Positive experiences are impactful as well
Bad times roll
Challenging or difficult times have a lasting effect
Monkey got to heaven
Suggesting a transcendent state for the observer
Never paid the toll
Never meeting the cost or consequences
Two, three
Numerical interlude
I'll let you know how it feels
Repeating the intention to share emotional experiences
Under your spinning wheels
Emotional experience under the influence of external forces
A total loss of control
Emphasizing the complete loss of influence
Total loss of control
Reiteration of the total loss of control
Heart like a hole
Repeating the metaphor of emotions as an empty space
Heart like a hole
Continued comparison of emotions to an emptiness
I wanna know how it feels
Expressing curiosity about the emotional experience
Behind the steering wheel
Curiosity about the emotional experience behind actions
A total loss of control
Reiterating the theme of complete loss of influence
Loss of control
Restating the concept of a loss of control
Heart like a hole
Repeating the metaphor of emotions resembling a hole
Heart like a hole
Reiteration of emotions likened to an empty space
