Bad Decisions

The song 'Bad Decisions' by Bad Omens delves into the theme of self-destructive behavior and the seductive nature of making poor choices. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is aware of their downward spiral but seems unable to resist the allure of bad decisions. The repeated lines 'No God, no religion, just bad, bad decisions' suggest a rejection of moral guidance in favor of indulgence in vices, which in this case, include the consumption of Hennessy, a cognac that symbolizes the excesses the narrator is indulging in.

The song also touches on the loneliness and emptiness that often accompany a life of reckless choices, as indicated by the line 'You’d never know how quick it gets lonely here at the top.' This suggests that the pursuit of hedonistic pleasures can lead to isolation, despite the initial thrill it may provide. The narrator's admission of being 'only human' and the fear of not learning from mistakes reveals a sense of vulnerability and the internal conflict between the desire to change and the temptation to continue on the same path.

Musically, Bad Omens is known for their blend of metalcore and alternative rock, which often explores dark and introspective themes. 'Bad Decisions' is consistent with their style, using heavy instrumentation and emotive vocals to convey the intensity of the internal struggle the lyrics describe. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of living without restraint and the difficulty of breaking free from a cycle of poor choices.
