jam
Groove T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts are hazy, but the weather says it's clear
Please don't confuse what was said with what you heard
Destroy the meaning to the point of the absurd
Oh it's a thought, full of rot
Take what you got, it hits the spot
So you can be all that you can
Watch out don't slip, give it some zip
And put some action to your plan!
Don't stop, spread the jam!
Oh it's your pick, call it sick
But make it click, and watch it stick
Just make sure you understand
Go on attack, don't look back
You cannot lack, break from the pack
Get your head out of the sand!
Don't stop, spread the jam!
Looking through the reflection in the mirror
An inspiration for the failure that looms near
Pollute the principle, distort the truth and find
Take one step further, and you're still three steps behind
Don't stop, you gotta spread the jam!
Slip out the door but don't lock it, you will return
It is not the action but from the thought you will learn
Pay attention...pay the price, then count your change
Flip flop the average, what was normal now is strange
Don't stop, spread the jam!
Oh it's a thought, full of rot
Take what you got, it hits the spot
So you can be all that you can
Oh it's a trip, so unhip
Watch out don't slip, give it some zip
And put some action to your plan!
Don't stop, spread the jam!
Oh it's your pick, call it sick
But make it click, and watch it stick
Just make sure you understand
Go on attack, don't look back
You cannot lack, break from the pack
Get your head out of the sand!
Don't stop, spread the jam!
The song "Jam" by Groove T is about spreading positive energy and ideas. The first stanza talks about keeping conversations private and not letting them become distorted as they are passed along. The singer describes their thoughts as hazy but the weather as clear, which could suggest that they are feeling uncertain about themselves or their ideas but the external circumstances are favorable. The line "Destroy the meaning to the point of the absurd" could be interpreted as a call to not take oneself too seriously, to be willing to let go of the meaning of things and have fun with them.
The chorus repeatedly urges the listener to "spread the jam." This could be interpreted as a call to action, to take what you have, add some zest to it, and put it into motion. The repetition of the phrase may suggest that the act of spreading positive ideas and energy is something that needs to be done persistently and consistently.
The second stanza describes looking in the mirror and seeing an inspiration for the failure that looms near. This could suggest that the singer has doubts about their own ability to succeed, but is determined to push through anyway. The line "Take one step forward and you're still three steps behind" highlights the challenge of making progress, but the chorus once again urges the listener to keep going and spread the jam.
Overall, the song "Jam" encourages listeners to take action and spread positive energy and ideas despite the challenges that may arise. It also emphasizes the importance of not taking oneself too seriously and having fun in the process.
