Jet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm too scared to pick up the phone
I went to the market to fill up my heart
Now I'm in a coma, state of the art
It goes (uhhuh uhhuh uhhuh)
I ain't there (uhhuh uhhuh uhhuh)
This ain't fair (uhhuh uhhuh uhhuh)
I live out of state in a mobile home
I tried to get my hands on a cellular phone
I fell into a ditch full of VCRs
Now I'm in a movie same as the stars
It goes
KIA in love, I'm your target
KIA fameless, get this started
I wanna Kung Fu kick you in your four-wheel drive
It's war zone baby do you want to survive
I know this ain't real it's gone to far
Let's get into a coma just like the stars
Yeah whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Uhuh uhuh uhuh
KIA in love, I'm your target
KIA ?, fame this party
KIA in the supermarket
KIA fameless, get this started
Tell them your not a joke
Tell me your not a joke
Tell them it's all a joke
Tell me it's all a joke
Tell me it's all a joke
Tell me it's all a joke
Tell me it's all a joke
Tell me it's all a joke
Kid I am
Yeah!
I got faith you know
I'm in love
KIA in love, I'm your target
KIA in love
KIA in the supermarket
KIA fameless, get this started
The song "K.I.A" by Jet seems to be about the confusion and fear that comes with living in a combat zone, whether literal or metaphorical. The singer seems to be disconnected and isolated from others, too scared to even pick up the phone. They are lost in a state of confusion and feel like they have fallen into a surreal, movie-like existence. The chorus, "KIA in love, I'm your target," seems to reflect a feeling of being trapped and unable to escape the danger or love that is pursuing them. The singer even suggests that they want to "Kung Fu kick" their lover in a warzone, suggesting that the danger is all-consuming and affecting every aspect of their life.
Interestingly, the title "K.I.A" is an acronym used in the military that stands for "killed in action," which adds another layer of interpretation to the lyrics. The repetition of "tell me it's all a joke" at the end of the song could suggest a desire for the chaos and danger to be anything but real.
Overall, the lyrics of "K.I.A" evoke a sense of unease and disorientation, reflecting the complexities of living in a world where danger can come from any angle.

I feel like songs by JET have so much energy and potential. But when I watch their videos they seem to not live up to their potential. Anyone else seen the music video for Cold Hard Bitch as well and feel the same way?
