English Translation of “Bad Idea” by SAY MY NAME

[Intro]
Hey, what’s up?
Say it one more time (Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum)
You say you know me?
Mm, maybe a bad idea (Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum)

[Verse 1]
Folding up my umbrella on a rainy street
Taking a nap while watching a movie I’ve been meaning to see
It’s still difficult for even me to fully understand myself
How can you put a label on someone like me?
[Pre-Chorus]
E or I, I don’t need to choose

I won’t belong anywhere
I’ll pass on the suffocating molds, so what?
Every day I’m only who I am

[Chorus]
(Bad idea) Those words that claim to know me easily
(Bad idea) Throw away the world’s standards
Whatever it is, it’s right, it’s only me
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (Bad idea)
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (Hey)
I’m free, I’ll define myself
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Verse 2]
A blank-faced selfie, it’s too early to judge (Ah-ah)
The me captured in one picture is endlessly complex (Ah-ah)
This overflowing vibe, nonstop, one more step to go
This is what’s true to myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Hating something, then liking it, crying, then smiling
Even I don’t fully understand myself

How can anyone else define me?
Every day I’m only who I am

[Chorus]
(Bad idea) Those words that claim to know me easily
(Bad idea) Throw away the world’s standards
Whatever it is, it’s right, it’s only me
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (Bad idea)
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (Hey)
I’m free, I’ll define myself
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Bridge]
They can’t know, know, don’t jump to conclusions, no, no
I’ll refuse all prejudices
I’ll define my own meaning
Turn up, turn up, if I want it, I’ll fill everything up
And to those eyes that cross the line
I don’t need to care about anything
Anywhere How about not leaning to either side?
No matter what, it’s all me
Huh, hate the bad idea

[Chorus]
(Bad idea) With those words that you easily understand me
(Bad idea) You can’t confine me anymore, I’m gonna fly up
Whatever it is, it’s right, it’s only me
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Post-Chorus]
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (Bad idea)
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum (I think it’s a bad idea; hey)
I’m free, I’ll define myself
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea

[Outro]
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum
Bum-bum, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra, bum
Something that’s bad, it’s something that’s bad, bad idea
