Bad Idea Lyrics
I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas
I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth
I've been asleep for nearly fifteen years
All dreams I've never had outweigh the life I'm not yet living
I've felt along the walls of here and there
But nothing ever seemed quite right
So I kissed off into the night
There was a thought, there was a bleeding thread
But nothing ever lasts that long within the confines of my head
I'm here to tell I'm not okay
And all those things you can never say out loud
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I've terrorized the seas of way back when
This little heart of mine has drunk its weight in blood red wine
A little lost, a little out of time
But as the years begin to creep, I have to hope that I'll be fine
I'm here to tell I'm not okay
And all those things I could never say out loud
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I'm here to tell I'm not okay
And all those things I can never say out loud
I'm here to tell I'm not okay
And all those other things
I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas
I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth
I've been asleep for nearly fifteen years
All dreams I've never had outweigh the life I'm not yet living
I've felt along the walls of here and there
But nothing ever seemed quite right
So I kissed off into the night
There was a thought, there was a bleeding thread
But nothing ever lasts that long within the confines of my head
And all those things you can never say out loud
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
This little heart of mine has drunk its weight in blood red wine
A little lost, a little out of time
But as the years begin to creep, I have to hope that I'll be fine
And all those things I could never say out loud
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
And all those things I can never say out loud
I'm here to tell I'm not okay
And all those other things
I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas
I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me

this album fell flat on my ears the first time i listened to it. however, after a week a steady listening, it's really coming alive and this song is one of the leaders.
seems to be about coming to terms with unhappiness in your current status/phase in life.
Totally agree with you, knarfelak. I was also not a fan of this album to begin with, but the songs on this album have grown on me more than any other.

This song is definitely to do with being unfulfilled in your life. Could be interpreted in a couple of ways from there, but to me it's about having had someone close to you earlier in your life who you believed in. You used to share all your bad (and good) ideas with, and maybe you only realised later in life whether those ideas were good or bad. Then wondering...

Then wondering later in life if they believed in you or whether they always knew you wouldn't go anywhere. Maybe if you knew that they believed in you, you wouldn't feel so bad about yourself. I guess it's more of an ego thing.
