Gravity
Jessica Jacobs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No fun in hanging around here all day
Seems like I'm pissing all over my leg
Walking the plank
Watching the sharks as they swim waiting for dinner
Your gravity's defeating me, sadness and beauty are one in the same
Now I'm drawing a line in the sand, over and over
Don't you feel the same way
I need to reciprocate

All those things that I have learned, have learned
Storms in my head, they are brewing today
Too much resistance will soon break the gauge

Sucked into space, notice the lack of O2
Something's not right here
Your gravity's defeating me, sadness and beauty are one in the same
Now I'm chasing salvation again over and over
Don't you feel the same way
I need to reciprocate
All those things that I have learned, have learned
Don't you feel the same way

I need to regurgitate
All these things that I have learned, have learned

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jessica Jacobs's song "Gravity" showcase the struggles of being weighed down by someone's presence, making it difficult to move forward in life. The opening lines express the boredom and frustration of staying in one place for too long. The following lines, "Seems like I'm pissing all over my leg, walking the plank, watching the sharks as they swim waiting for dinner," indicate a feeling of vulnerability and danger in this stagnant existence.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Your gravity's defeating me, sadness and beauty are one in the same," highlighting the contradictory emotions the singer feels regarding the person who is weighing them down. They feel trapped but also drawn to this person, despite the negative effects on their mental well-being. The repeated refrain of needing to "reciprocate" and "regurgitate" what they have learned could indicate a desire to break free and move past this situation, but they are struggling to do so.
