Bad Mood
Anger Unleashed: The Vaccines' 'Bad Mood' Unraveled
Lyrics
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Better to be prepared for any provocation or agitation
Oh, I should loosen up some, baby, I know
Admitting the need to relax or be less uptight
But I get angrier with age
Expressing increased anger with advancing age
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Reiterating the importance of readiness for agitation
Oh, you look disappointed in me
Noticing disappointment in oneself from someone else
Oh, am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Questioning if one's actions didn't meet the other's expectations
Yeah, I know I'm always givin' you the third degree
Acknowledging a tendency to interrogate or question excessively
But you look disappointed in me
Noticing disappointment in the other's expression
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood
Being in a deeply negative emotional state
A bad, bad mood
Reiteration of being in a deeply negative emotional state
I'm in a bad, bad mood
Continuing to emphasize the deeply negative emotional state
A bad, bad mood
Repeated emphasis on the deeply negative emotional state
We'll rate, generate, generate some more
Creating, producing, or generating continuously
So what you singin' 'bout summer for?
Questioning the topic of singing about summer
Forgive me if I'm untoward
Apologizing if one's behavior seems inappropriate or rude
And out of order, but I suspect
Suggesting a suspicion of being out of sequence or improper
That with respect to your perception
Speculating about someone else's perception
You're lookin' in the wrong direction
Suggesting the other person is looking in the wrong direction or misunderstanding
As I'm sure, you'll conclude
Anticipating the other person's realization of the singer's bad mood
I'm in a pretty awful mood
Confirming being in a particularly terrible mood
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Reiteration of the need to be prepared for agitation
And I know I'm always puttin' it on you
Acknowledging the habit of putting pressure on the other person
But I get angrier with age
Expressing increased anger with advancing age (repeated)
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage
Reiterating the importance of readiness for agitation (repeated)
Now I'm in a bad, bad mood
Reiteration of being in a deeply negative emotional state
A bad, bad mood
-I'm in a bad, bad mood
-A bad, bad mood
-I'm in a bad, bad mood
-A bad, bad mood
