Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh, can't you see me standing here?
I've got my back against the record machine
Oh, can't you see what I mean?
Ah, I might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh Hey you! Who said that?
Baby how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know
Until you begin.
So can't you see me standing here?
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh, can't you see what I mean?
I might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
(Guitar solo)
(Keyboard solo)
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump.
Get it and jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump.
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
The lyrics of "Jump" by Van Halen appear to be a motivational anthem where the singer encourages the listener to overcome their challenges and fears. The opening lines establish a tone of resilience and determination, with the singer proclaiming that nothing can bring them down. They acknowledge that the listener may be facing similar difficulties, but they urge them to keep going and not let their problems define them. By rolling with the punches, they can reach what's real, presumably referring to true success or happiness.
The chorus of the song, "Might as well jump," serves as a catchy and upbeat call to action, encouraging the listener to take risks and seize opportunities. This is reinforced by the subsequent lines "Go ahead and jump," "Get it and jump," and the repetition of the word "jump" in the outro. The idea of jumping is used metaphorically, likely symbolizing taking a leap of faith, leaving one's comfort zone, and pursuing one's dreams.
The verses of the song are directed towards a specific person, who is asked if they can see the singer standing there with their back against the record machine. They claim that they are not the worst the person has ever seen, but it is unclear why this is relevant. The conversation seems to shift to the other person's perspective in the second verse, with them admitting that they don't know how they have been or what the future holds. The singer reassures them that they won't know until they begin, reinforcing the message of taking action and not being afraid to try.
