Jaded
Disclosure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your words give you away
Be careful how you say my name
Step back, refrain
Be honest when you save some face
'Cause you're fading
Don't mistake me for a fool
The game you play has changed
Take a look at yourself and the stories you tell
Does the truth weigh on your mind?
Tell me what did it cost when the moment was lost
Is this how you survive?

Why, oh why do you have to lie?
What are you afraid of?
We know what you're made of
Now your time has passed you by
You've already made it
There's no need to chase it
So get up, so get up and save it
'Cause enough is enough, you're jaded
Your golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them

The gospel that you preach
Is poisonous beyond belief
But still, you'll reach
Be careful of the truth
My speak is amazing
When it's there in black and white for all to see
We sow and you reap

So take a look at yourself and the stories you tell
Does the truth weigh on your mind?
Tell me what did it cost when the moment was lost
Is this how you survive?

Why, oh why do you have to lie?
What are you afraid of?
We know what you're made of
Now your time has passed you by
You've already made it
There's no need to chase it
So get up, so get up and save it
'Cause enough is enough, you're jaded
Your golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
So get up, so get up and save it
'Cause enough is enough
You're jaded
Your golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them




Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them

Overall Meaning

In the song Jaded by Disclosure, the lyrics suggest that the person being addressed has been dishonest and deceitful, and their actions have caused them to become jaded in their supposed "golden years." The lines "Your words give you away / Be careful how you say my name / Step back, refrain / Be honest when you save some face" imply that the person has been caught in their lies and is trying to save face, while still keeping up a façade. The chorus, "Why, oh why do you have to lie? / What are you afraid of? / We know what you're made of / Now your time has passed you by / You've already made it / There's no need to chase it / So get up, so get up and save it / 'Cause enough is enough, you're jaded," suggests that the person has achieved a certain level of success but has become jaded because they cannot let go of their dishonest ways.


The second verse of the song, "The gospel that you preach / Is poisonous beyond belief / But still, you'll reach / Be careful of the truth / My speak is amazing / When it's there in black and white for all to see / We sow and you reap" further emphasizes the idea that the person being addressed is preaching falsehoods and that their actions will eventually catch up to them. The repetition of "You cannot replace them / Face it or you'll waste them" at the end of the chorus implies that the person needs to come to terms with their actions and realize that they cannot undo the damage they have caused.


Overall, the song Jaded by Disclosure is a commentary on the dangers of dishonesty and the importance of being true to oneself. The lyrics suggest that while a person may achieve success through deceit, their actions will eventually catch up to them, leaving them jaded and unable to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

I wouldn't be surprised if this album won Best Album of the Year this coming Grammy season, and here's my reasoning for this theory.

1. Every single has an amazing sound; it's the perfect choice for both relaxation and party.

2. The snippets floating around online and the recent album sampler on Spotify sounds like every song on this album is like the tracks people take from artists they don't exactly love but find those gems that appeal to them. This is Caracel's ENTIRE ALBUM.

3. I'm not speaking from a fan perspective about this, but from an industry perspective. This could easily be classified as a revolutionary album that only shows EDM's power in the music industry. By power I don't just mean in the sales aspect but the meaning behind the music as well.

4. Taking an artist from a different genre and making them look like they belong in another because of how naturally they blend is an incredibly hard thing to do, but this album makes it seem so...seamless.

Well done, brothers Lawrence, you've given the world another reason to define you as one of the greatest artists of our time.

Disclosure makes the kinda music where you listen to it in a certain situation, say a long drive late at night, and you feel like you're on another planet. I love it

Veidt Gothzalez

I know right! You totally get it ✨😎
