The Finest
Jamaram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I'm up you are down
Allways when I'm gone you're around
Every time I'm silence you are sound
You hit me with no compromise when I need the truth you give me lies
Hey there angel in the skies I come undone when you're in disguise
I want to show my world to you so many things that we both can do
Chorus:
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen girl
Come into these arms cause you're welcome here
I've been waiting in vain for way to long girl
Come into these arms but you're already here
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen
Wooh my Highness I wanna be your love machine
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen girl
Come on now lady and please be my queen
Every time I'm in you are out
Every time I'm up you are down
Allways when I'm gone you're around
Every time I'm silence you are sound
Baby I'm lost in your shining eyes when will you come to and realize
That it's you that I adore and it's you I'm craving for
So what can I do to make you see me I just want you to be my lady
And it's for sure you got the cure I'm aking for and it's making me sore cause
Chorus
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen girl
Come into these arms cause you're welcome here
I've been waiting in vain for way to long girl
Come into these arms but you're already here
In the song "The Finest" by Jamaram, the singer is expressing their desire towards another person whom they consider to be the finest thing they've ever seen. The lyrics illustrate a sense of longing and frustration towards this person who seems to be distant and unavailable. The first verse highlights the opposition between the singer and the person they are singing about. Whenever the singer is up, the other person is down, and whenever the singer is in, the person is out. The singer feels a sense of disconnect, and even when they are away, the other person seems to be around. The second verse captures the deception the singer feels towards this person. They accuse the other person of giving them lies instead of the truth when they need it the most. Despite this, the singer is mesmerized by the person's charm and is willing to show them a whole new world. However, the singer is frustrated by the other person's lack of acknowledgment towards them and is struggling to make them see that they want to be with them.
The chorus of the song captures the essence of the singer's desires towards the other person. They declare that the other person is the finest thing they've ever seen and is welcomed to come into their arms.

In the third verse, the singer admits their attraction towards the other person and confesses that they are lost in their dazzling eyes. They profess their love and devotion towards the other person and their willingness to do anything to be with them.
The song portrays a journey of a person's emotions and feelings towards another's unavailability. The singer's desperation and longingness towards the other person's attention is evident throughout the song. The lyrics highlight the struggle of wanting someone who is just out of reach.
Line by Line Meaning
Every time I'm in you are out
Whenever I am present, you are absent
Every time I'm up you are down
Whenever I am happy or successful, you are the opposite
Allways when I'm gone you're around
Whenever I am not there, you are present
Every time I'm silence you are sound
Whenever I am quiet or reserved, you are loud or outgoing
You hit me with no compromise when I need the truth you give me lies
You are harsh and inflexible, and you deceive me when I need honesty
Hey there angel in the skies I come undone when you're in disguise
You appear as an angel in the sky, but when you conceal your true identity, I lose my composure
I want to show my world to you so many things that we both can do
I desire to share my experiences and activities with you
So what can I do to make you see me I just want you to be my lady
What can I do to get you to notice me and become my partner
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen girl
You are the most beautiful and amazing person I have ever encountered
Come into these arms cause you're welcome here
I am inviting you to be embraced and accepted by me
I've been waiting in vain for way to long girl
I have been waiting for you for too long with no result
You are the finest thing that I've ever seen
You are the most exceptional thing that has ever caught my eye
Wooh my Highness I wanna be your love machine
I want to be your devoted lover, my queen
Come on now lady and please be my queen
I implore you to become my queen and rule my heart and life
Baby I'm lost in your shining eyes when will you come to and realize
I am mesmerized by the radiance of your eyes, and I beg you to recognize and acknowledge our connection
That it's you that I adore and it's you I'm craving for
I adore you and desire to be with you
And it's for sure you got the cure I'm aking for and it's making me sore cause
I am convinced that you possess the solution to my problems, and I ache for you to help me
