Jain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this wooden house we're all waiting in line
Just to record a track, we had to make it fast
We had only one shot to sing it, all like "what?"
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
Show me the way I should take to see it all
Show me just a little more
I gotta stand up so I can see your kingdom
Just a mark in your machine, it's all we ever need
To show me melodies proudly run by your country
Still following me, it's where I felt so free
I remember the time when we were all like "what?"
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
Show me the way I should take to see it all
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
I gotta stand up so I can see your kingdom
We were the only ones back in a Congo town
To feel this magical sound down into our soul
Between my classes, after my classes
In this wooden house I would come to sing like "what?"
Show me just a little more (more)
Show me just a little more (more)
Show me just a little more (more)
Show me just a little more (more)
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
Show me the way I should take to see it all
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
I gotta stand up so I can see your kingdom
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
Show me the way I should take to see it all
Show me more and more
Show me just a little more
I gotta stand up so I can see your kingdom
The lyrics of "Flash" by Jain describe the artist's memories of a time spent in a wooden house, waiting in line with others to record a track. There is a sense of urgency suggested by the phrase "we had only one shot to sing it," emphasizing the importance of the moment. Despite the pressure, the artist is excited to be there, expressing a desire to see and experience more. The phrase "show me more and more" is repeated several times, highlighting this longing.
The song seems to be a reflection on the artist's journey to this point in their career. The line "just a mark in your machine, it's all we ever need" suggests that recognition and success, represented by the "mark" in the machine, is the ultimate goal. However, the artist still remembers the feeling of freedom and excitement they had when they were first starting out. Even though they are now more established, they still long to be shown "more and more" and to stand in the "kingdom" of success.
Overall, the lyrics of "Flash" capture the excitement and uncertainty of pursuing a passion, looking back on the journey so far while eagerly anticipating what is yet to come.

J'ai créé des paroles françaises si ça vous intéresse ! :D
Je n’oublierai jamais le bon temps passé chez toi
On faisait la queue dans cette maisonette en bois
Juste pour s’enregistrer, on avait une seule chance
On devait tous chanter, mais on ne savait pas quoiii ?!
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Montre-moi comment je pourrais voir plus loin
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Je dois me lever pour pouvoir te voir si bien
Un micro et ta machine
C’était assez pour nous
Monter des mélodies
Répandues par ton pays
Ça veut encore me suivre
C’est pourquoi je suis libre
Je me rappelle du temps
Où on était genre quoiii ?!
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Montre-moi comment je pourrais voir plus loin
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Je dois me lever pour pouvoir te voir si bien
Nous étions les seuls dans cette ville au Congo
Au plus profond de notre âme à sentir cet écho
Entre mes études
Après mes études
Dans cette maisonette
Je voudrais chanter genre quoiii ?!
Montres-m’en
Juste un petit peu plus
Montres-m’enJuste un petit peu plus
Montres-m’en
Juste un petit peu plus
Montres-m’enJuste un petit peu plus
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Montre-moi comment je pourrais voir plus loin
Montres-m’en plus, montres-m’en juste un peu plus
Je dois me lever pour pouvoir te voir si bien

As “Makeba” suddenly appeared around the world recently courtesy of TikTok, I thought I would listen to more of Jain’s work. Awesome unique voice, and really cool having her Malagasy accent and cadence show through over her French heritage. Few people can sing with their accent, and Jain does it brilliantly.
