Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jealousy
She's an ugly beast
She's got her well planned
Strategically placed hands all over me
Daytime and in my dreams
She creeps her way into my mind
And fills it
[Chorus]
Oh Oh But you did it to yourself
Ohh You're the only one to blame
Oooh You created what's not real
Ohh You're the cause of your own pain, so
[Verse 2]
Jealousy
She's an ugly beast
She's got her well planned
Strategically placed hands all over me, all over me
[Chorus]
Oh Oh But you did it to yourself
Ohh You're the only one to blame
Oooh You created what's not real
Ohh You're the cause of your own pain, so
[Bridge]
GET OUT
Get out of your head right now
Don't you listen to her..No
She's not your friend
She's the enemy
Jealousy
[Chorus]
Oh but you did it to yourself
Oh you're the only one to blame
Ooh you created what's not real
Oh you're the cause of your own pain, so
GET OUT
[Outro]
Jealousy, Jealousy
She's got her hands all over me
In Billy Lewis Jr.’s song “Jealousy,” the artist contemplates the ugly and persistent feeling of being jealous. Jealousy is described as a beast that creeps into Billy’s mind, filling it with tragedy both during the day and in his dreams. The feeling of being overwhelmed and defeated is palpable as Billy sings, “She’s got her well-planned, strategically placed hands all over me.” The chorus of the song emphasizes personal responsibility for succumbing to such feelings. The listener is reminded that they are the only one to blame for the pain they feel and the false images they’ve created in their mind. The bridge offers a clear directive to break free from the hold that jealousy has over one’s thoughts, stating “Don't you listen to her..No. She's not your friend. She's the enemy. Jealousy.” The song ends with the final assertion that jealousy has its hands all over Billy.
“Jealousy” offers a powerful and honest exploration of a universal human emotion. The song speaks to the negative impact that jealousy can have on one’s mental and emotional state. The lyrics suggest that jealousy can be so all-consuming that it overshadows a person’s life and leaves them feeling isolated and trapped. By emphasizing personal responsibility, the song offers hope that one can break free from jealousy's hold by changing thoughts and behaviors. Overall, “Jealousy” is a poignant reminder that jealousy can be a destructive force in our lives if we allow it to take hold.

So this makes Billy Lewis the first Glee cast member whose original music I like.

+Sebastian Anderson he is the best that is true but I like Samuel Larson's work too :))
HekateAkaKaria
Agree. I checked out all of the others but this is the first I really, really like. And maybe Noah Guthrie but in that case I like his covers more than his orginal music (It's good but not my favourite).

@Sebastian Anderson I understand "the key word", but I wrote my comment because I didn't know anything about Mark Salling's album before and previous comment helped me to introduce to Mark's own music. Maybe someone else have no idea about other EPs of a cast members "before Glee" and will find it because of this comment just like I did. Nothing more. :) Have a great week! :D

The key words in that statement were "I like". I am aware that other cast members have created original music, Billy is just the first whose music I like.

Also Darren Criss made all by himself EP called "Human", it's a little different kind of songs but still nice to listen to. :)

If they ever decide to remake Cry Baby I think Billy would be perfect for Cry Baby.

Love this on so many levels but mainly because this artist can portray such passion through his music. It is obvious that he is not just a singer. He is an actor and a passionate person whether he is performing or not. There is no "will this artist make it or not". He has already made it. The video speaks for itself. Congrats and good luck!.
