Jealousy
Imp Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh how wrong can you be?
Oh to fall in love
Was my very first mistake
How was I to know
I was far too much in love to see?
Oh jealousy look at me now
Jealousy you got me somehow
You gave me no warning

Took me by surprise
Jealousy you led me on
You couldn't lose you couldn't fail
You had suspicion on my trail

How how how all my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy

Oh how strong can you be
With matters of the heart?
Life is much too short
To while away with tears
If only you could see
Just what you do to me
Oh jealousy you tripped me up
Jealousy you brought me down
You bring me sorrow you cause me pain
Jealousy when will you let go?
Gotta hold of my possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous guy

How how how all my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
But now it matters not

If I should live or die
'Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy

Overall Meaning

The song Jealousy by Imp portrays the emotion of jealousy and how it can take over a person's life. The lyrics describe falling in love as the first mistake, not realizing the level of attachment that would come with it. The emotion takes over and blinds the singer to the point of not recognizing their own feelings. Jealousy is described as a force that takes over, leading the singer on and causing suspicion to take hold. The chorus highlights the control jealousy has over the singer and the regret of not being able to let go of pride and possessiveness.

The second verse focuses on the consequences of jealousy and how it can bring a person down, causing pain and sorrow. The singer pleads with jealousy to let go of their possessive mind, which has turned them into a jealous person. The final verse expresses the ultimate outcome of jealousy, leaving the person with only their own jealousy as a companion, a realization that does not matter if they should live or die. The song paints a picture of the destructive nature of jealousy and highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing these feelings.
