Jesus Come Up
Cortizone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
These lyrics, from the song "Jesus Come Up" by Cortizone, are about unrequited love and the lengths someone will go to in order to win the attention and affection of someone they desire. The singer begins by saying they pretend to be invisible so they don't have to face the person they're infatuated with, but will go so far as to drown in a pool just to give that person a chance to save them. They also try to get the person's attention by stumbling on stairs or casting spells to win them over.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer just wants to play with the person they love, despite having all they want and feeling like they're suffocating when they see them. The singer even goes so far as to say they'll hang out with the person's neighbors just to be noticed. The song ends with the plea not to reject the singer, as they promise they're only looking for fun.
Overall, these lyrics portray a sense of hopelessness in love and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make the desired person notice and reciprocate. The repeated phrase "I just want to play with you" adds a layer of childlike innocence and vulnerability to the song.
