Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left it all on the table last night
So don't tell me to take it back
And lately any good intentions have fallen through the cracks
It's hard to understand people when an illusion paints the facts
Don't try to be nice just to trip me up
Decide to shut doors in my face and prove I'm not enough
You've been throwing too much shade
Keep looking at me with your icy eyes
And maybe one day people will see through all your bold-faced lies
Just know the scars won't fade
In a world full of copies, it's hard to stand out
But it's not worth losing yourself in the hype of the crowd
So, I'm just Jade
I'm just Jade
I'm just Jade
Sometimes my peers look at me like I'm a total alien
(Oh my gosh, she's such a weirdo
She died her hair green?)
What a freak I must be 'cause I don't act like them
I guess I'm not desperate enough
To want the cool kids as my friends
Don't try to be nice just to trip me up
Decide to shut doors in my face and prove I'm not enough
You've been throwing too much shade
Keep looking at me with your icy eyes
And maybe one day people will see through all your bold-faced lies
Just know the scars won't fade
In a world full of copies, it's hard to stand out
But it's not worth losing yourself in the hype of the crowd
So, I'm just Jade
I'm just Jade
Karma will have the last laugh
So don't feel blue
Let 'em talk about you
To thine own self be true
Don't try to be nice just to trip me up
Decide to shut doors in my face and prove I'm not enough
You've been throwing too much shade
Keep looking at me with your icy eyes
And maybe one day people will see through all your bold-faced lies
Just know the scars won't fade
In a world full of copies, it's hard to stand out
But it's not worth losing yourself in the hype of the crowd
So, I'm just Jade




I'm just Jade
I'm just Jade

Overall Meaning

In the song "Jade" by Jade feat. Elisa, the lyrics express the challenges of being true to oneself in a world where conformity seems to reign. The opening line "I left it all on the table last night, so don't tell me to take it back" implies a sense of honesty and vulnerability that the singer has already exposed. They go on to explain how their good intentions have been misinterpreted and how people use illusions to paint their own version of reality, making it difficult for others to understand them. The refrain "I'm just Jade" is a reminder to oneself and to others to embrace their own unique identity and not feel compelled to conform to societal norms. The lyrics also address the negative experiences of being judged by others and dealing with their disapproval, but ultimately the message is one of self-acceptance and authenticity.
