The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Bad Ideas" by the artist "Tessa Violet"

Contents

In "Bad Ideas," Tessa Violet sings about an intense attraction to someone, possibly a former lover. The lyrics depict a narrator acknowledging that her desires might be "bad ideas" but ultimately succumbing to them.

She craves intimacy, evident in the recurring line "I wanna make out with you." Her attraction manifests in a desire to know every detail about this person, "all the spaces between your teeth and your fingers."

Despite recognizing the potential negative consequences ("I know what they lead to"), the narrator is willing to take the risk. She accepts the possibility of heartbreak and sadness ("And if I'm sad tomorrow, it'll be worth it to know"), prioritizing the experience of passion and closeness.

The lyrics also hint at obsession: she's "sleeping in too much," and her sheets "smell like you," suggesting that thoughts of this person consume her.

Overall, the song captures a feeling of all-consuming infatuation, the willingness to risk pain for fleeting happiness, and an obsessive fixation on another person.

I hope that you don't think I'm rude

But I want to make out with you

And I'm a little awkward, sure

But I could touch my face to yours, oh

And no one ever called me smooth

But I just wanna see the grooves

Between your hands, your teeth, oh

Tell me, do you think about me?

I just wanna kiss you

And even if I miss you

At least I'll know what it's like to have held your hand, oh!

No-o, hey!

Bad ideas, ay (oh!)

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

And I can't get enough, no

I wanna kiss you standing up

Oh-oh, no!

And if tomorrow makes me low (no!)

Well it'd be worth it just to know

'Cause I can't get enough, no

I wanna kiss you standing up

O-oh!

Hey!

I don't know what compels me

To do the very thing that fells me

I wake up, still high on you

But by the night, I'm crashing through, so

Why I'd wanna kiss you

Even though I miss you

Guess I just want to know what it would feel like, oh!

No-o, hey!

Bad ideas, ay (oh!)

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

And I can't get enough, no

I wanna kiss you standing up

O-oh, no!

And if tomorrow makes me low (no!)

Well it'd be worth it just to know

'Cause I can't get enough, no

I wanna kiss you standing up

O-oh!

Smitten's a bad look on me

And if I'm talking honestly

It takes everything I got not to text, and

I just want a kiss to get me through

'Cause now all my bed-sheets smell like you, so

If you think you miss me

Come on back and kiss me

I just gotta know what you and I would feel like, oh!

No, hey!

Yikes

Bad ideas, ay (oh!)

I know where they lead (hey, oh!)

But I got too many to sleep

And I can't get enough, no

I wanna kiss you standing up

Oh-oh, no!

And if tomorrow makes me low (no!)

Well it'd be worth it just to know

'Cause I can't get enough, no-o

I wanna kiss you standing up

Oh-oh!
