So this is where I am
Hanging on a feeling
Driving through the valley just to chase the pain again
So this is where we are
I should've seen it comin'
Every time we say goodbye, I say hello again
[Chorus: All]
I cried in your dark brown eyes
For the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody
I died when you left that night
For the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody else
I tried to stop the door as it was closin'
It was closin'
Can't help the way I keep ignorin' every omen
Every omen
Heaven knows I should let go
It's nothing that I don't already know
[Verse 2: Luke, All]
I kiss you on your neck (Oh-na-na)
You were starin' at the ceiling (Oh-na-na)
I should've known right then and there you were a runaway (Oh-na-na)
Oh, just make it go away (Oh-na-na)
Can you help me rearrange it? (Oh-na-na)
I'm still makin' sense of having nothing left to save
I cried in your dark brown eyes
For the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody
I died when you left that night
For the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody else
I tried to stop the door as it was closin'
It was closin'
Can't help the way I keep ignorin' every omen
Every omen
Heaven knows I should let go
It's nothing that I don't already know
[Bridge: All]
We go 'round again, we jump back in bed
That's what you do when you love somebody
These bad omens, I look right through them
That's what you do when you love somebody
We go 'round again, we jump back in bed
That's what you do when you love somebody
These bad omens, I look right through them
That's what you do when you love somebody
[Outro: Luke, All]
Else (When you love somebody)
Else (When you love somebody)
About
Bad Omens is about a broken relationship where they ignored the “Bad Omens” showing that the relationship wasn’t working. They tried to keep the relationship going because of their love and ignored the omens but the relationship was doomed to fail.
The music video was released on the 26th of September 2022 and depicts two lovers in a car crash symbolizing the end of their relationship. Multiple giant “red flags” are seen in the sky which eventually envelop the car completely whilst they are driving and the car continues off a cliff and crashes. They tried to ignore the “omens/red flags” in their relationship until it was too late with the flag enveloping the car symbolizing the point of no return removing their control in the situation and the car crashing symbolizing the end of the relationship.
Omens are a symbol that usually foreshadows a bad event whilst red flags are warning signs in relationships that indicate unhealthy or manipulative behavior.

One of our favourites in the album. It feels like fall in Australia. Jason Evigan absolutely nailed this production. We recorded the gang vocals at the end of this song together all in the same room, rather tham layering it harmony by harmony. “Bad Omens” was recorded towards the end of the album process. A lot of the songs that we made were just on our own, and towards the end it was really fun to be able to fill in the gaps. Like, we need a song with more tempo or whatever it might be, and this song was definitely that. Really satisfying to have something missing on the album, then totally fill that spot. I love how big this gets to the end with the strings, and the rising chord in the chorus is really cool, it’s a beautiful song.
