Jealousy Curve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't shake it up
Don't break it up
And she won't come gunning for ya
The kinda thing
That makes her tick
It's like arsenic
And I won't come running for ya
So dangerous
And I'm curious
How it's all been going for ya
I gotta be
This serious
When you obviously
Don't know what's coming to you
There's more than a touch of mystery in her chemicals
Revelation in the shape of her skin
You're a rifle to the head of her victory
But you won't win
(Save yourself)
She got an aim
Don't shake it off
It contain enough
To be sure-shot murder for ya
The kinda thing
That make ya sick
Thick enough to stick
And it won't stop digging in ya
She give a pain
So devious
Such a furious abyss
Death-trap calling for ya
I know she looks
So glorious
But it's torturous
This fate that's following you
There's more than a touch of mystery in her chemicals
Revelation in the shape of her skin
You're a rifle to the head of her victory
But you won't win
(Save yourself)2
There, you're almost gone
You would feel less dissapointed
If it didn't
Take so long
Yes it's almost done
When the poison's taken over
I'd expect for anyone
To keep from moving on
She's so deadly now
She's so deadly
She's so deadly now
"Black Widow" by Jealousy Curve is a song about a dangerous woman who has a "game" that nobody can decipher. The lyrics describe the woman as deadly, mysterious, and devious; her behavior is like poison, and she's aiming for something. The song is a warning to keep a distance from such a woman because she can cause serious harm to anyone who comes too close. The singer acknowledges his curiosity about the woman and how she's going about with her life, but he also knows that he needs to be serious and save himself from her.
The imagery in the lyrics is striking, with the woman's chemicals and skin being referred to as mysterious, the singer being a "rifle to the head" of her victory, and her painful deviousness being called "a furious abyss." The chorus of the song emphasizes that the woman is deadly and has a plan, and anyone who gets involved with her will ultimately lose. The bridge of the song reflects on the inevitability of the situation, with the singer feeling helpless as the poison takes over.
Overall, "Black Widow" is a cautionary tale about avoiding dangerous people, especially women who are out to get something. The lyrics are complex, full of metaphors and imagery, and the music is fast-paced and dynamic, adding to the intensity of the song.
