Originally called Abraham, their lineup fell into place when the previous singer left, and Schmoekel, who was already friends with the band and a member of another local band, suddenly found himself in the group, which resulted in the name change. The quartet issued a demo in 1999, and one of the tracks, "Never, Never, Never," was played on local radio station WEJE.
A year later, Jettingham issued its full-length debut, Neato, which also proved popular on local radio, resulting in the band signing shortly thereafter to the Republic/Universal label. Just before the release of their label self-titled debut in September of 2001, the quartet received another career boost when their song "Cheating" was featured on the soundtrack to the hit movie American Pie 2.
We're Through
Jettingham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you want to see me
But I want to see you with somebody new
So sit down and shut up, we broke up, what's up
You're just so fucked up
I've tried so hard to be polite
But I'm so fed up with being nice
So I'm here to tell you that we are through
Yeah bitch we're through
I've had enough now, you've taken this way too far
And we said we'd be friends but everyone says that
I guess since we boke up, you cranked up, you're messed up
You're just too fucked up
I've tried so hard to be polite
But I'm so fed up with being nice
It's exhausting getting screwed
So I'm here to tell you that we are through
Yea bitch we're through
So stop coming around here, don't try to talk to me
You're pissing me off and I'm trying to make you see
I've tried so hard to be polite
But I'm so fed up with being nice
It's exhausting getting screwed
So I'm here to tell you that we are through
I've tried so hard to be polite
But I'm so fed up with being nice
It's exhausting getting screwed
So I'm here to tell you that we are through
Yea bitch we're through
We're through
We're through
We're throughhhhh
We're throughhhhh
We're throughhhhh
We're throughhhhh
In Jettingham's "We're Through," the singer is sending a clear message to an ex-partner who won't let go. The song is confrontational and unapologetic, with the singer telling their ex to stop trying to talk to them and to move on with someone else. They're tired of being nice and polite, and they're done with being screwed over. The chorus repeats the phrase "we're through" in a sort of cathartic release, perhaps implying that the singer is finally moving on from the relationship and the feelings of frustration that come with it.
