Gallant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you thought about those cigarettes you burned for love
So many others tried to crack your heart
Weak defenses are the only things you've got
And I was blaming you an ego so inflated
And red infatuation so strong
Regretting all the patience
I'm sorry that I waited too long
Sorry that I waited too long
Sorry that I waited too long
So if Jupiter is finally fading out this time
Let the fairy-tales we wrote about go black and white
So many others tried to crack your heart
Weak defenses are the only things you've got
So I was blaming you an ego so inflated
And red infatuation so strong
Decades overdue
Regretting all the patience
I'm sorry that I waited too long
Sorry that I waited too long
Too long, too long, too long, too long, too long
Sorry that I waited too long
Too long, too long, too long, too long, too long
Sorry that I waited too long
Too long, too long, too long, too long, too long
Sorry that I waited too long
Too long, too long
Sorry that I, sorry, sorry that, babe
Ego so inflated
Red infatuation
Sorry, sorry
Regretting all the patience
Sorry that I waited too long
Sorry baby, so long
Sorry that I waited, sorry that I waited too long
Sorry that I waited too long, babe
Sorry that I waited too long, babe
The lyrics of Gallant's song "Jupiter" seem to describe a relationship that has lost its spark and may be coming to an end. The first verse mentions "diamonds on a silver platter" that weren't enough to keep the relationship going, followed by a reference to "cigarettes you burned for love," suggesting a need for an intense connection that may not have been fulfilled. The chorus acknowledges the attempts of others to break down the singer's defenses, indicating a history of emotional barriers that prevent a deeper connection.
The second verse reveals that the singer was blaming their partner for their relationship problems, but now regrets those actions and "waiting too long" to address the issues. The mention of Jupiter "fading out" may be a metaphor for the end of the relationship or a sign that the relationship was always doomed to fail. The final line of the chorus repeats the sentiment of the first chorus: that the singer's partner has weak defenses and may need more understanding and patience in the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Jupiter" suggest a relationship that has suffered from a lack of communication and vulnerability, leading to an eventual breakup.

"When you make a ton of sacrifices for someone--give what you thought was everything--it can take a lot to look back and admit that you were the one who pulled everything apart.” - Gallant
