Satisfied
Jewel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you love somebody
You better let it out
Don't hold it back
While you're trying to figure it out
Don't be timid
Don't be afraid to hurt
Run toward the flame
Run toward the fire
And hold on for all your worth
'Cause the only real pain a heart can ever know
Is the sorrow of regret
When you don't let your feelings show

So did you say it
Did you mean it
Did you lay it on the line
Did you make it count
Did you look 'em in the eye
And did they feel it
Did you say it in time
Did you say it out loud
'Cause if you did hun
Then you lived some
That feeling inside
That's called satisfied

Busy people walking by
Can't help but worry some
So many things to do
So little love gets done
Empty hearts everywhere
Drowning but dying of thirst
If we want love
It's not that tough
Start by giving it first
It's easy to give
Baby can't you see
Just close your eyes, open your heart
And do what comes naturally

So did you say it
Did you mean it
Did you lay it on the line
Did you make it count
Did you look 'em in the eye
And did they feel it
Did you say it in time
Did you say it out loud
'Cause if you did hun
Then you lived some
That feeling inside
That's called satisfied

Horses are built to run
The sun is meant to shine above
Flowers are made to bloom
And then there's us
We were born to love
We were born to love

So did you say it
Did you mean it
Did you lay it on the line
Did you say it
Did you mean it
Did you lay it on the line
Did you make it count
Did you look 'em in the eye
And did they feel it
Did you say it in time
Did you say it out loud
Because if you did hun
Then you lived some
That feeling inside
That's called satisfied

La la la la la la




It's called satisfied
La la la

Overall Meaning

Jewel's song "Satisfied" is a beautiful reminder to live in the moment and express one's feelings without hesitation. The song's lyrics urge listeners to not hold back when it comes to love and to run towards the flames of passion. The line "the only real pain a heart can ever know is the sorrow of regret when you don't let your feelings show" touches on the idea that regret can be more painful than rejection. The second verse highlights the idea that love should always be given freely and without reservation, and that we were born to love.


In the chorus, Jewel asks the listener if they have ever expressed their love in a meaningful way. She asks if they have said what they meant to say and if they made it count. She challenges the listener to take action and express themselves fully. She suggests that if they have done this, they will feel a sense of satisfaction.


Overall, "Satisfied" is a powerful call to action that encourages listeners to live in the present and express themselves fully in matters of love. It reminds us that we were born to love and that sometimes we just need to take a risk and put ourselves out there.
