Discover the story of the song > Bad Time – Alkaline Trio

The lyrics describe a situation where the protagonist is going through a tough time and wants to talk to his partner. He mentions that he's been hearing gunfire and is being stalked by dangerous robots or Latin royalty. Despite the danger, he still wants to connect with his partner and share what's been happening. He feels comforted by her presence and believes that she has the power to make him feel better. He longs to have a conversation with her and be under her spell, as her voice leaves him speechless.
