Jealousy
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one to see my other face
Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?
It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Fortunes could fall upon your kiss
Everyone a suitor I could miss
Is it too much to ask of you
To stay inside with me?
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me alive?
It's my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Just my jealousy
Creepin' up on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
No, this jealousy
Won't get to me
Nom this jealousy
Won't get to me
You set me free
Your love set me free
You put your armor on me
You put your armor on me
You put your armor on me
In the song "Jealousy" by Cary Brothers, the lyrics express a sense of vulnerability and insecurity that stems from the singer's jealousy. He talks about being touch by the grace of his partner who is the only one that sees his other face. He then asks if it's too much for his partner to stay inside with him and keep him alive, implying that he needs his partner's constant presence to feel secure. The chorus repeats the phrase "just my jealousy creeping up on me" which shows that the singer recognizes that his jealousy is a problem, but it still haunts him. Later in the song, the singer sings "hallelujah" in a moment of relief, where he realizes his partner's love has set him free and put armor on him to protect him from his own jealousy.
The lyrics of this song are relatable because everyone has experienced jealousy or insecurity in some form or another. Cary Brother's expressive voice and the simple acoustic guitar accompaniment give the song a sense of rawness and honesty. It's a beautiful and poignant piece that speaks to the heart of human emotion.

Touched by all of your grace
I am deeply touched by your graciousness
The only one to see my other face
You are the only one to see my true self

yagami kyo if Ride is your fav., then you’ve a lot to discover about Cary. Listen to ‘take your time’ and maybe you’d change your perception.

Their songs are like unusual, it's like a combination of regret and beauty, with a little of madness, I love all of their songs but Ride is still my favorite so far :)
