Bad Omens have released another brand new single entitled “Left For Good” via Sumerian Records.
Once on the fringes of metalcore, their sound carries the weight of change, and whenever they drop a new track, it always feels more than just routine, but an event. This new release feels like a turning point in facing old echoes and feelings that keep resurfacing.
Inside the Struggle of Left For Good
“Left For Good” is the latest Bad Omens release, following “Specter”, “Impose” and “Dying to Love”, and while earlier songs suggested a shift toward something heavier and less conventional, this one confirms it without doubt. Ahead of the release, a brief mini-film appeared, featuring one man lost in a near-ritual speech on time, honesty, and the weight of awareness.
One phrase stands out: “to trudge through the mire of truth”. This idea anchors the track emotionally. Visually, that moment links directly to the lyrics, creating tight alignment between the image and sound. As the beat starts, Bad Omens transform. Harsh industrial layers pulse under Noah Sebastian’s vocals; digital elements spiral through massive drops as the hook settles in with a line that lingers past silence.
“Why do I stay in the middle, why do I say just a little.”
A chilling phrase, yet it reflects the mix of doubt and inner struggle shaping Bad Omens’ latest work. Noah Sebastian, the lead singer, debuted the track on Apple Music’s New Music Daily, subtly suggesting a new album is coming in 2026 via Sumerian Records. While already playing gigs across Europe, the band now gears up for shows across North America alongside Beartooth and PRESIDENT, and this song seems built to stand out in those huge shows. The scale, rhythm, and deep emotion point toward something bigger taking shape underneath everything that makes up Bad Omens in 2025.

Bad Omens Left For Good Lyrics In Full
Verse 1
I saw the mire of truth
A calling refused
The folly of youth
I saw the smoke in the room
The masses consumed
In spite of the fumes
But I stay, I’ve been falling for so long
Chorus
Why do I stay in the middle?
Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side
For all I’ve left for good?
Because I yearn for a way out
For the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now
For all I’ve left for good
Post-Chorus
For all I’ve left for good
Verse 2
I saw the body infused
With gardens in bloom
The liars exhumed
I saw them claw their way through
Thе throat of the truth
And iron the wound
But I stay
Chorus
Why do I stay in the middlе?
Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side
For all I’ve left for good?
Because I yearn for a way out
For the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now
For all I’ve left for good
Bridge
I won’t be what you thought of me
So I’ll leave with the honesty
The esteem of autonomy
Bitch, you owe me the apology
Oh, motherfucker, you owe me an apology
Chorus
Because I yearn for a way out
For the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the rain clouds
(For all I’ve left for good)
Why do I stay in the middle?
Why do I say just a little?
Why do I reach from the other side
For all I’ve left for good?
Because I yearn for a way out
For the hurt, for a way down
For the worst, for the pain now
For all I’ve left for good
The Message Behind The Song
The meaning behind Bad Omens’ ‘Left For Good’ reflects a band grappling with self-discovery, burnout, yet facing change brought by fame. Instead of moving on smoothly, there’s tension and release mixed with lingering attachment to the past. Ultimately, this track acts as an admission, a challenge, but also guidance. Rather than hinting at their path forward, it states clearly where they are headed, and even clearer, it shows what they’re leaving behind.
