Jazz
Barium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right up here, come close inside
Forced to believe that your not listening
Silent again as you push against the handle
A desire pokes through the warmness in our skin
Forced to believe you won't answer me
At least that's how it is
And I wish you could feel just how you make me feel
That's not the answer I was looking for
That's not the answer I want
In Barium's song, "Jazz," the lyrics depict a relationship where one person is struggling to get the attention and understanding of the other person. The singer is asking the other person to come close and listen, but feels like they are not being heard. The line "forced to believe that you're not listening" suggests that this is not the first time the singer has tried to communicate their feelings and desires, but has been met with silence or indifference.
The second verse reveals a sense of frustration and disappointment, as the singer wishes that the other person could understand how they feel without having to always put it into words. The line "rather than put it back together, we can sit and watch it crumble" suggests a resignation that the relationship may be falling apart despite the singer's efforts to make it work. The final line, "that's not the answer I want," reinforces the idea that the singer is still longing for a deeper connection and understanding with the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jazz" speak to the complexities and challenges of communication in a relationship. The singer is struggling to make themselves heard and understood, while also grappling with the limits of language and the difficulty of truly conveying one's emotions.

Thanks for the suggestions to make a several-hours-long squid vid everyone! This was very enjoyable to create. What other ocean scenery do you want on Krill Waves Radio?

When we started, we never could've imagined our music being used as a backdrop to a video of squids chillin' for 2 hours... But it's a magnificent match! 🦑🎶🦑🎶🦑🎶
