| Fuel – Bad Day Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Being in a relationship with a woman who is suffering from depression and PTSD, this song hits home. It feels like he's living my life. For me, it's a constant never knowing what kind of day she's going to have. One day, she is in a great mood and we are amazing together. The next, she's back to having a bad day and depressed. And when she has bad days, it's so hard to deal with. She's distant and won't talk. And like the song, she does always swear there's nothing wrong when I ask, even though I always know better. Or she just says she doesn't want to talk about it. And it does feel exactly like she puts me off and puts me on, like the lyrics say, because when she's depressed and down, she brushes me off unintentionally. And when she's happy and having a good day, we are fantastic. She's constantly changing and I never know what to expect. I think the singer is experiencing the same ups and downs as I am and is in therapy to know how to deal with it. But he's struggling. Great song. My girlfriend actually is the one who pointed it out to me and asked if this was how I felt being with her. It nails it on the head. |

I really listened to this song today and thought about the meaning. of course the beauty of music is that it can apply to everyone's lives in different ways and have different meanings to everyone. this is how this song applies to me: I believe he's talking about PTSD. Talking about having another world inside that "you" may never see is a reference to the emotional torture that he hides and keeps to himself. And he can't find the light no matter how hard he tries. That speaks volumes to the depression he's experiencing. Also he says "roaming through this darkness, I'm alive but I'm alone." He's talking about how he's alive but barely. No one understands what he's going through and he can't share it. He also touches on this when he says that a part of him is gone. I think the part about education x ray is in reference to him seeing a therapist about what he's exoeriencing but he doesn't want to share it or open up. And he'd rather talk to his friends instead. He then goes on to say "hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong, hold me when I'm scared, love me when I'm gone." To me, this signifies that when he's emotionally here and present and okay, to hold him and love him and make the most of it. And when he goes cold like PTSD sufferers do, he may become emotionally void and distant or even perhaps abusive. He's saying to right him when he's wrong during those times, cause sufferers don't always recognize when they're hurting those they love. And to remember to love him when he's "gone." Having dated a sufferer of PTSD, these lyrics apply so perfectly. It's pretty amazing. You can tell he wants so badly to be everything that she wants him to be, but he just can't, no matter how hard he tries. |
