Jerk
Bigwig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's gone wrong with your life?
I'm trying to make it work
But I guess I'm too much of a jerk
The lyrics to Bigwig's song "Jerk" speak to a complex and difficult relationship between two individuals. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at a sense of confusion and turmoil on the part of the singer. They want to understand what's going on with their partner, but seem unable to do so. The third line of the verse - "I'm trying to make it work" - suggests that the singer is committed to the relationship and wants it to succeed, but something is getting in the way.
The final line of the verse - "But I guess I'm too much of a jerk" - is particularly poignant. It's clear that the singer is aware of some negative quality or behavior on their part that is causing problems in the relationship. They are acknowledging that they are not blameless in the situation, but at the same time, they seem almost resigned to their own shortcomings. It's a bittersweet moment, and one that many listeners may relate to on a personal level.
