Jaded
Aerosmith(에어로스미스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me, ex-rated
My my baby blue
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
Hey j-j-jaded
In all it's misery
It will always be what I love and hated
And maybe take a ride to the other side
We're thinkin' of
We'll slip into the velvet glove
And be jaded
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm so jaded
And baby I'm afraid of you
Your thinking's so complicated
I've had it all up to here
But it's so overrated
Love and hated
Wouldn't trade it
Love me jaded
Hey j-j-jaded
There ain't no baby please
When I'm shootin' the breeze with her
When everything you see is a blur
And ecstasy's what you prefer
My my baby blue
Yeah I'm talkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah I've been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
Baby, jaded, baby
You're so jaded
'Cause I'm the one that jaded you
The lyrics to Aerosmith's "Jaded" revolve around a complicated romantic relationship. The singer of the song addresses someone who is both attractive and difficult to understand, telling them that they have a certain stylishness or allure, but that they are "yesterday's child" and that the singer sees through their facade. The singer is "jaded" herself, having experienced the highs and lows of love many times before. Yet, she still finds herself thinking about the object of her attention, who appears to be both desirable and frustratingly complicated.
The singer suggests that the two of them should "take a ride to the other side," implying that they should explore new experiences together, likely both physical and emotional. They slip into a "velvet glove" (presumably a metaphor for something luxurious or perhaps form-fitting), and the singer hopes that they can both become "jaded" together. The lyrics suggest that the two of them are caught up in a dizzying swirl of feelings and experiences, and that they are both driven by a desire to find something new and meaningful.

First hearing this song some time after it released, I was struck by how powerful it was sound-wise. Very much in tune with the time it released, it was Aero for the new gen, yet still was identifiable as Aerosmith in its styling. They have never abandoned their style, even as it has morphed along with the times.
@kalania14
Exquisitely described one of THE best bands period
@PT84
Honestly if you took the vocals off this song I would have thought Train.
@soundpainter2590

I have to Quickly Purge my brain... By listening to something UNREAL. Gotta go.. You just gave me The Musical version of 4 S T D's. In a Comment section. Don't worry about it.. I've seen worse.

I saw Aerosmith in concert when I was fifteen years old, around 1977, in Dayton, Ohio, best concert ever. My ears are still ringing. Love you guys. Keep on rocking!

Saw them in the 90's and they were incredible. Absolutely one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The Stones are tied w them for first place.
