Jump Back
!!! [chk chk chk] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why, you'd need an alibi
Don't you know not to get high
On your own formaldehyde?
Ain't nobody makes it out alive
The jugular is a good place to get started
Sometimes it's best to rip it right out
Now it's dull black, once was grey
Knocked flat, but he's up again
That's why the cold slap got its name
Well, it's not bad for a broken man
'Cause it's a, a known fact, it's no game
It's no game, it's no game, it's no
You, you never wondered at all
What's the harm in getting a little comfortable?
But you didn't wanna bother trouble
Till you saw 'em with their shovels
Ain't the type to listen to rebuttals
The jugular is an easy target
Sometimes it's best to rip it right out
Jump back, 'cause it's always been
Somehow the cold facts lay there plain
Exactly just what they meant
When they said all that stays is the stain
You know that this ain't no age of the innocent
And it's a, a known fact, it's no game
It's no game, it's no game, it's no
Only one thing, only one thing comes in coffins
Down at the cemetery it ain't exactly hoppin'
Don't fear John the Revelator
There's time enough for dying later
At least that's what I read in Sunday's papers
The jugular is a good place to get started
Sometimes it's best to rip it right out
The lyrics of !!! [chk chk chk]'s song "Jump Back" can be interpreted in different ways depending on the perspective of the listener. One possible explanation is that the song warns against the dangers of substance abuse and complacency. The line "Don't you know not to get high on your own formaldehyde?" suggests that the singer is addressing someone who is engaging in self-destructive behavior. The reference to the jugular as a good place to get started could be understood as a metaphor for attacking a problem head-on, even if it involves taking risks. The chorus, "Jump back, let the air condition," could be interpreted as a call to pause and reassess one's situation before it's too late.
Another way to interpret the song is as a commentary on mortality and the transience of life. The lyrics "Ain't nobody makes it out alive" and "When they said all that stays is the stain" suggest that the singer is reflecting on the inevitability of death and how it leaves a mark on those who are left behind. The references to coffins and the cemetery further underscore this theme. The line "There's time enough for dying later" could be interpreted as a resigned acceptance of one's mortality.
Overall, the song seems to convey a sense of urgency and a call to action, whether it's to avoid self-destructive behavior or to come to terms with one's mortality.
