Unstable
Janine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk away like we never knew
Fuck that, I'm begging you, please say something
You said, "I know that we can make it work"
But loving you is chaos
But the fire is incredible
And, baby, we know we can work it out
Come here and work it out
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable, stable
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
Take me on the
Take me on the
Take me on the
Take me on the
Kiss back and forth, I can't count how many
Times we've said goodbye
Love your smile, but I can't count how many
Times you've made me cry
You cried too and we vowed to forget it
And every day I wish I could forgive it
But if you just tell me you'll never lie to me
I'll show you all that I need
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable, stable
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
Show me pictures of the sun
Hold me in the rain
Fuck me up, fuck me good
Do it all again
Pull my hair back
Make the pleasure, mask the pain
Do it all again
I know, I know you love me, but your alone
You bring me to the top
To throw me down to zero
I know, I know I'm sleepin' with the devil
You make me cry to dry my eyes and be the hero
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable (we're unstable)
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
Take me on the table
I know sometimes that we're unstable, stable
Just say my name, I'll take you, take you back, oh
Take me there, I'll take you back, oh
The lyrics of Janine's song Unstable touch on the idea of a turbulent and complex relationship that is constantly on the brink of falling apart. The opening lines suggest a sense of resignation and a willingness to give up, but the singer's desperation to hold on and make it work is palpable. There is a sense that the love between the two is all-consuming and intense, but also chaotic and destructive at times. The line "But loving you is chaos, but the fire is incredible" encapsulates this idea of a passionate, tumultuous love that is ultimately unsustainable.
The chorus of "Take me on the table, I know sometimes that we're unstable" is a plea for the other person to take charge and assert their dominance in the relationship. There is a sense of surrender and submission in this line, as if the singer is willing to be vulnerable and let the other person be in control. The sexual overtones of the song add to this feeling of passion and intensity, suggesting that the physical chemistry between the two is a driving force in their relationship.
Overall, Janine's Unstable is a powerful meditation on the complexities of love and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. It explores themes of passion, desperation, and surrender, and captures the intense emotions that can arise when two people are deeply in love but also struggling to keep their relationship afloat.

Some artists don't want to be blown up hollyweird big. The home of sell your soul and pedophile addicted adrenochrome addicts roam freely . ...scary discusting world. She would be better to just stay away if she wants to maintain her pure lovely innocence
It won't last long in Hollywood. Money doesn't matter these days , When soul is on fire .....it's magic . Love from Canada-Jessica here on My husband's account lol You sing like an angel sweetheart. Stay far away from the blog suckered of HW. Money never buys happiness 💯
