The Wound
Jazzyfatnastees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who drew first, when they're gone, still working on perfect nothing to do, except run your mouth, hold that tongue before it's ripped from your throat.
How about looking in the mirror, before stating opinions a well placed knife to the back although he's not around. (2x)
Proud to be the center of your conversations, get a fucking life.
Saddest still how we become the topic, stay in small spaces with unopened minds.
Steady, we're still growing, this must be how you want your name thrown about.
Keep it to yourself; gossiping about fiction is pathetic.
You're a fairytale not even close to the facts even more difficult to read.
You still don't know the truth, how I can't put my heart in this.
Destroy the world. (2x)
Let's gamble our debts horrible events are inevitable, half way to the top why quit.
You're a fairytale not even close to the facts even more difficult to read.




You still don't know the truth, how I can't put my heart in this.
Keep it to yourself, not understanding me, still underestimating me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jazzyfatnastees's song "The Wound" reveal the singer's frustration with people who talk without thinking, spread rumors, and judge others without looking at themselves. The opening lines, "Who drew first, when they're gone, still working on perfect nothing to do, except run your mouth, hold that tongue before it's ripped from your throat," suggest the consequences of speaking before thinking - violence and harm to oneself. The singer then challenges the listener to look at themselves before passing judgment on others, warning of the danger of stabbing someone in the back when they are not present. The lyrics go on to criticize people who are proud to be the center of attention and spread rumors and gossip. The singer calls out their closed-mindedness and laments how they become the topic of small conversations. The song suggests that this kind of behavior limits personal growth and prevents people from truly understanding each other.


The chorus, "You're a fairytale not even close to the facts even more difficult to read, you still don't know the truth, how I can't put my heart in this. Destroy the world," adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the lyrics. The singer seems to be asking the listener to stop spreading false information and rumors, to understand the truth and stop underestimating others. The call to "destroy the world" suggests that the only way to start again is to break down the old ways of thinking and interacting.


Overall, "The Wound" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to examine their own behavior and think before they speak. It urges people to look beyond the surface and try to understand each other, rather than jumping to conclusions and spreading rumors. The song's urgency and frustration are palpable, and its message is one that is still relevant today.


Line by Line Meaning

Who drew first, when they're gone, still working on perfect nothing to do, except run your mouth, hold that tongue before it's ripped from your throat.
Don't jump to conclusions or speak too quickly, because without knowing all the facts, you may start unnecessary trouble for yourself. Be careful of the things you say, because the consequences could be severe.


How about looking in the mirror, before stating opinions a well placed knife to the back although he's not around. (2x)
Before judging or speaking about someone else, take a good look at yourself and your own faults. Beware that you could be lashing out at someone who is not present to defend themselves, and this could have negative consequences for you.


Proud to be the center of your conversations, get a fucking life.
It's not healthy to base your self-worth on the opinions and conversations of others. Live your own life and don't let other people's opinions of you control you.


Saddest still how we become the topic, stay in small spaces with unopened minds.
It's unfortunate that people tend to gossip and talk about others, even when they don't know the full story. It's important to expand your mindset and think outside of your own bubble.


Steady, we're still growing, this must be how you want your name thrown about.
We're all still learning and growing, and it's important to be patient with ourselves and others. However, if you continue to act in a negative manner, your reputation may suffer.


Keep it to yourself; gossiping about fiction is pathetic.
Spreading untrue rumors or talking about things that are not true is pointless and disrespectful. Keep your opinions to yourself and avoid participating in gossip.


You're a fairytale not even close to the facts even more difficult to read.
You're not being truthful or honest, and it's hard to believe or understand what you're saying. Try to be more honest and direct in your words and actions.


You still don't know the truth, how I can't put my heart in this.
You still don't understand the full story or how I truly feel. It's difficult for me to be emotionally invested in this situation due to the lack of understanding.


Destroy the world. (2x)
This line is likely meant to be taken as hyperbolic or metaphorical. It could represent a desire to shake up the status quo or create change in the world, rather than actually wishing for the destruction of the world.


Let's gamble our debts horrible events are inevitable, half way to the top why quit.
We can't predict the future or control what happens, but we can take risks and acknowledge that bad things may happen. Even if we're only halfway to our goals, we shouldn't give up or quit.


Keep it to yourself, not understanding me, still underestimating me.
If you don't understand me or underestimate me, that's not my fault. Keep your thoughts to yourself instead of projecting onto me. I am not responsible for other people's assumptions about me.

@ascend2me

chloe x halle are two amazing singing sisters, but i couldn't help but rememeber a couple of other great female duos that were great too...both zhane and the jazzyfatnastees were extremely talented vocalists that just didn't get as much attention as they deserved...

@HarrisPilton789

Zhane is another great duo.
