Bad Things (feat. Camila Cabello)

The song 'Bad Things' by Machine Gun Kelly, featuring Camila Cabello, delves into the theme of forbidden desires and the allure of a love that is as intoxicating as it is complicated. The lyrics express a sense of recklessness and the thrill of engaging in a relationship that defies conventional norms. The repeated questions, 'Am I out of my head? Am I out of my mind?' suggest a self-awareness of the potentially destructive nature of these desires, yet there is an undeniable pull towards them.

The chorus, 'I only wanna do bad things to you / So good, that you can't explain it / What can I say? It's complicated,' captures the essence of a passionate, yet tumultuous relationship. The 'bad things' could be interpreted as actions that are typically seen as morally ambiguous or socially unacceptable, but they are so enthralling to the individuals involved that they cannot resist. The song portrays a connection where the physical and emotional intensity overrides the sense of right and wrong, leading to a complicated dynamic between the two lovers.

The bridge of the song, 'The way we love is so unique / And when we touch, I'm shivering / And no one has to get it / Just you and me,' emphasizes the exclusivity and private understanding of their relationship. It suggests that their bond is beyond the comprehension of outsiders, and that the only thing that matters is the electric connection they share. This sentiment is further echoed in the lines about wanting each other forever, even when not together, and the scars as a symbol of their enduring bond.
