Facade
Jesper Jenset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And there she was (she was)
In body black there
So friends said she
Is looking for me (she is looking for me)

A couple years in Paris
And now she′s brought here me in
At least that's what she wants me
To think (what she wants me to think)

Every time she′s around
I seduce her and tryna let shots
Coming out of her mouth

Bad chick, bad chick intellectual
Didn't know I could be so emotional
I don't mind if you want to keep it on the low
But I just know that we can get along

Chardonele, what are you drinking, what you into?
Mademoiselle, feels like I′m winning every time you
Look my way, is it your vibe or a facade, I couldn′t tell?

Drink, I'm a little fucked up
I can′t barely speak and
I can't barely walk
Is it the bruises?
Or is it just you?

Saw you dancing across the room
Dumb enough to make a move
I′m sorry but, you're all I wanted to do
Do do do do do

Every time she′s around
I seduce her and tryna let shots
Coming out of her mouth

Bad chick, bad chick intellectual
Didn't know I could be so emotional
I don't mind if you want to keep it on the low
But I just know that we can get along

Chardonele, what are you drinking, what you into?
Mademoiselle, feels like I′m winning every time you
Look my way, no I don′t feel it, but you're so look hard to explain

I could give you a thousand lies
Built my own perfect facade
Only show you my design

Bad chick, bad chick
Chardonele, what are you drinking, what you into?




Mademoiselle, feels like I′m winning every time you
Look my way, is it your vibe or a facade, I couldn't tell?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jesper Jenset's song "Facade" describe a complicated romantic relationship between two individuals. The singer meets a mysterious woman who wears all black, and who his friends say is looking for him. She has brought him to a new place, and the singer feels like she is trying to make him believe certain things. Whenever she is around, he feels drawn to her and tries to impress her. He describes her as an "intellectual bad chick" who makes him feel emotional. Although he is willing to keep their relationship a secret, he believes they can get along well. The singer is also confused by the woman's intentions - he wonders if her vibe is genuine or if it's all just a facade.


The chorus of the song describes the singer's attraction to the woman, and how he tries to impress her by asking her about what she's drinking and what she's into. He feels like he's winning every time she looks his way. He also confesses that he's had too much to drink and can barely speak or walk - perhaps indicating that his feelings for her are clouding his judgement.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the woman's mysterious nature. He acknowledges that he could lie to her and present a false facade of perfection, but he chooses not to. He seems to want to be honest and authentic with her, but he is unsure if she feels the same way.


Overall, the song "Facade" is an exploration of the complexities of romantic attraction and the ways in which we try to present ourselves to others. The lyrics suggest that the singer is drawn to the woman's enigmatic persona, but he is also aware that there may be more to her than meets the eye.
