The lyrics to Antigama's song Jealousy revolve around the themes of betrayal, trust, and envy. The first few lines of the song, "Torn Apart, Fascination, Deal With Information, Guide Me, Torn Apart" suggest a sense of disorientation and internal conflict. The repetition of "Torn Apart" implies a state of emotional distress or confusion. The subsequent lines, "Jealousy, Deal With Fantasies, Try Me" suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of envy, perhaps in a romantic context. The singer seems to be torn between reality and their own desires or imagination, struggling with the prospect of betraying someone close to them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It Doesn't Matter/ How Much You Trust Me/ It Doesn't Matter/ How Much You Trust Yourself/Trust Yourself/ Trust Me". This repetition emphasizes the theme of trust and betrayal, suggesting that trust is being questioned or challenged. The phrase "It Doesn't Matter" implies a sense of inevitability or resignation. It seems that the singer is aware that their actions will likely result in hurt or disappointment but feels compelled to act on their desires anyway.
Antigama's song Jealousy is a complex and emotionally charged exploration of human relationships and the pitfalls of envy and mistrust. The lyrics suggest a sense of inner turmoil and confusion as the singer struggles to reconcile their desires with reality. The repeated refrain of "It Doesn't Matter" emphasizes the inevitability of betrayal and the futility of placing complete trust in others or oneself.
