Bad Decisions Lyrics

Dropped down the lights, I'm sittin' with you
Moscow, 1972
Always singin' in my sleep
I will leave it in my dreams

Oh, makin' bad decisions
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Makin' bad decisions for you
Yeah, makin' bad decisions
Uh, makin' bad decisions
Oh-oh-oh, makin' bad decisions for you

Pick up your gun
Put up your gloves
Save us from harm
Safe or alone

Oh baby, I hang on everything you say
I wanna write down every word
Do me a favor when you come through
When I look around, don't wanna see you
I don't take advice from fools
Never listening to you

Oh, makin' bad decisions
Yeah, makin' bad decisions
Oh, makin' bad decisions with you
Oh, makin' bad decisions
Oh, oh-oh-oh, makin' bad decisions
Uh, makin' bad decisions with you

Pick up your gun
Put up those gloves
Save us from harm
Safe or alone

You, you didn't listen to me
But I, I didn't listen to you

I waited so long
Listening for
Something to join

I'm making bad decisions
Really, really bad decisions
Oh, oh-oh-oh, making bad decisions
Oh, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
I'm not gonna give a lot of credit
I don't know how to use, how
'Cause I can't, I can't
I can't, can't make anymore

What is the Meaning of Bad Decisions?

Delving into the depths of self-destruction, this track paints a vivid picture of an individual trapped in a cycle of poor choices. The protagonist seems to be in a toxic relationship, continuously making bad decisions for the sake of their partner. The verses "Pick up your gun / Put up those gloves" could symbolize the constant battles they're fighting, either with themselves or others. The line "You didn't listen to me / But I didn't listen to you" reflects mutual blame and regret. Despite recognizing their destructive pattern, they seem unable to break free from it – a poignant portrayal of human frailty and our tendency to repeat mistakes despite knowing better. #SelfDestruction #ToxicRelationships
