"Wicked" by Elijah Blake is a song about a tempting and alluring love interest who may not be as innocent as they appear. The lyrics suggest that the narrator feels a strong connection with this person, as if they have met before. However, the previous experiences with other people have left the narrator cautious. The pre-hook emphasizes the understanding that this love interest is not as pure as they claim to be, and the narrator decides to leave because of this realization. The hook repeats the phrase "love will make you dum-dum-da-da-dee-dee-dum-dum-na-ay," implying that love can make someone act foolishly or blindly. The second verse describes the irresistible nature of the love interest and reassures them that the narrator will protect them, even from a distance. The pre-hook is repeated, emphasizing the wickedness of the love interest's actions. The bridge introduces a conflicting desire to either keep the love a secret or shout it out to the world. The narrator expresses their willingness to proclaim their love for this person, but also questions if they can keep it a secret. It is revealed that the narrator sees this person as the only "bad bitch" on their radar, further emphasizing their deep attraction. Overall, "Wicked" explores the complexities of a love interest who may have questionable intentions, causing the narrator to grapple with their feelings and decide whether to keep the relationship a secret or openly express their love.
