about

Bad Loser’ is a song that will sit well with fans of Billie Eilish and Self Esteem.This single is perhaps Pastiche’s most open yet, giving us an insight into how she squares herself with her own “inner demons”.

Pastiche says: "Lyrically, ‘Bad Loser’ is about your inner demons and, in a way, celebrating them. It reads like a diary entry and It's all very much drawn from personal experiences that I've had with my own mental health. I like to turn things on their head, turn negatives into positives as much as I can, so with this song I delved pretty deep inside my own head and looked at some of the stronger parts of my personality. It’s really me putting that on a plate and saying, ‘these things aren't bad aspects of me; they're just aspects of me.’ I think that's a pretty important conversation to have."

lyrics

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
You'd a think that I'd a learned my lesson
I could be someone you like
On the other side (HEY)
My words can hit below the belt no question
But I'll leave it up to your perception
Are you shaking inside?
Or can you handle the bite? (HEY)

Got me pulling strings like party poppers
Glitter in my mouth with a champagne stopper
Anybody can sing but can they make you wanna listen now

I'm victim, I'm a bad loser
I'm a fuck up, I'm a straight shooter
And a nut job in a strategy game
Called life baby tell me are you glad that you came?
I'm a junkie, I'm an abuser
I'm a rookie, but I'm your future
Are you bothered are you scared of the fact
That I changed your whole world and there's no turning back

No need to ruin it I can do that by myself
Another misfit past the point of her self help
Book in her bedroom yeah it hasn't left the shelf
In a while (HEY)
I'm still a no one, but I got a fear of being a has been
So shut your mouth, get to the point and pass the aspirin
I'm gasping for some air, but nobody helps (HEY)

Got me pulling strings like party poppers
Glitter in my mouth with a champagne stopper
Anybody can sing but can they make you wanna listen now

I'm victim, I'm a bad loser
I'm a fuck up, I'm a straight shooter
And a nut job in a strategy game
Called life baby tell me are you glad that you came?
I'm a junkie, I'm an abuser
I'm a rookie, but I'm your future
Are you bothered are you scared of the fact
That I changed your whole world and there's no turning back

Take me to nirvana and we'll have one hell of a time
Thinking in slow motion and I just can't get my thoughts right
Wondering if I'll behave or shy away from the light
Most fun that a girl can have is in the dead of the night
Take me to nirvana and we'll have one hell of a time
Thinking in slow motion and I just can't get my thoughts right
Wondering if I'll behave or shy away from the light
Most fun that a girl can have is in the dead of the night

I'm victim, I'm a bad loser
I'm a fuck, up I'm a straight shooter
And a nut job in a strategy game
Called life baby tell me are you glad that you came?
I'm a junkie, I'm an abuser
I'm a rookie, but I'm your future
Are you bothered are you scared of the fact
That I changed your whole world and there's no turning back

Take me to nirvana and we'll have one hell of a time
Thinking in slow motion and I just can get my thoughts right
Wondering if I'll behave or shy away from the light
Most fun that a girl can have is in the dead of the night
