Abba Zabba
Fenix TX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm searching for the sun beneath the sheets
And I think I'm getting colder and older
While jealousy just gets the best of me
Take all this infatuation and envy
I never thought I'd be this way with you
Make your wish, blow out the candles
And she said: "Don't live with frustration,
I've learned from years of patience
Your day will come."
Don't praise me because I made it through
Without any help from you
Without anyone at all
Don't hate me because I didn't make the call
And I'll never take the fall.
And she said: "Don't live with frustration,
I've learned from years of patience
Your day will come."
The lyrics to Fenix TX's Abba Zabba are a reflection of the singer's feelings of jealousy and inadequacy in a relationship. The first stanza talks about the passing of time and how it feels like it's getting slower and slower, indicating the singer's boredom and stagnation in the relationship. He's searching for something more than the mundane routine of their everyday life together. He also feels like he's getting colder and older, possibly indicating a loss of passion or a sense of growing apart. The jealousy he feels towards his partner is getting the best of him, which seems to be causing problems in the relationship.
In the second stanza, the singer acknowledges their infatuation and envy towards their partner, which is likely causing the jealousy. However, he also hopes that his partner's wishes come true, showing that he cares about their happiness despite his negative feelings. The next part of the stanza is a message to someone who might not be supportive of his achievements. He's telling them not to praise him for making it on his own because he doesn't want their approval, but he also won't take the fall for their lack of support.
The chorus repeats the message of the singer's friend who says, "Don't live with frustration, I've learned from years of patience, your day will come." This advice seems to be a reminder that change takes time and that things will get better eventually. The lyrics as a whole revolve around relationships, struggle and hope for something better, whether in regards to one's personal or professional life.
