Jet Set
Derby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll come around

If I'm in town

With the jet set

Pretend that we met

But I still get down

But I still get down

Figured me out

I knew that you would

It's been old times

And it's understood

But I still get down

But I still get down

Maybe it's alright to turn you on

Turn you on to something new

Maybe it's alright to turn you on

Turn you on to something new

I'll come around

If I'm in town

With the jet set

Pretend that we met

But I still get down

But I still get down

Figured me out

I knew that you would

It's been old times

And it's understood

But I still get down

But I still get down

Maybe it's alright to turn you on

Turn you on to something new

Maybe it's alright to turn you on

Turn you on to something new

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Derby's song Jet Set seems to be about someone who is a part of a high-end social group known as the "jet set." The song's narrator says that they will "come around" if they are in town and make a point to "pretend that we met" with people in the jet set. Despite this, the singer "still gets down," suggesting a more down-to-earth personality beneath the glamour of their social status.

The second half of the song suggests a change in perspective, as the singer proposes that it is "alright to turn you on to something new." This could be interpreted in a few different ways; perhaps the singer is suggesting they want to introduce their jet set friends to something new and different, or maybe they're hoping to break free from the social circles they've been a part of and explore something new themselves.

Overall, Jet Set seems to offer a cynical take on high society and the façade it can create. The singer seems to imply that regardless of their status, they're still human and still looking for something more in life.

I'll come around
I'll visit you

If I'm in town
If I happen to be in this city

With the jet set
With the wealthy and fashionable people

Pretend that we met
We'll act like we're strangers who just met

But I still get down
I'm still humble and grounded despite the glamour

Figured me out
You understand my nature

I knew that you would
I predicted that you would do so

It's been old times
We know each other for a long time

And it's understood
We both know what to expect from each other

Maybe it's alright to turn you on
Perhaps introducing you to something new is acceptable

Turn you on to something new
I'll introduce you to a new concept
