No Good

ARIA's song 'No Good' delves into the complex emotions surrounding change, loss, and the bittersweet nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has undergone significant transformation, leaving the protagonist grappling with the aftermath. The opening lines, 'Cause the way you found me / Kept alone / Makes the day / You left me / Feel alright,' suggest a sense of isolation that was present even before the relationship ended. This sets the tone for a narrative where change is both a source of pain and a necessary step towards growth.

The chorus, 'It's no good / It's no good / To know your change is weighed still,' highlights the struggle of accepting change and the lingering impact it has on one's emotions. The repetition of 'It's no good' emphasizes the futility of clinging to the past and the difficulty of moving forward. The line 'And nights will fade your bruises / Just let it / Run on / 'Cause only love will last long' offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that time will heal the wounds and that love, in its truest form, endures despite the hardships.

Throughout the song, ARIA uses metaphors and imagery to convey the cyclical nature of love and loss. Phrases like 'There's always rain / There waiting for us / That's only life' and 'We'll love again / But not the same' reflect the inevitability of change and the resilience required to embrace it. The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a broken relationship and the journey towards healing. ARIA's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'No Good' a powerful exploration of the human condition, capturing the essence of love's enduring impact on our lives.
