Jhameel was once set on the path to officer-ship in the United States Army. Although his linguistic skills in Arabic, Spanish, Korean, and Russian would have been highly rewarded in the military, Jhameel quit the program before signing an irrevocable contract due to personal beliefs about U.S. presence in the Middle East. He then earned a degree in Arabic from UC Berkeley within just two years, graduating summa cum laude. Immediately after, he began his career in music.
Jhameel creates explosively funky music comprised of soul-stirring guitar, immersive synthesizers, triumphant brass, and athletic, melodic vocals inspired equally by Prince and Michael Jackson. He plays each and every instrument on his records himself, creating catchy melodies that settle easily into your mind with human lyrical themes that continue to challenge the heart. Jhameel’s skills extend to the mixing board too, as he produces his own music.
Jhameel’s second album, The Human Condition, sparked interest with thousands of music fans, propelling tracks “Bernal Heights” and “The Human Condition” to the top of the Hype Machine Popular Charts. He followed up with the Dance EP, which featured the furiously energetic “Shut Up”, a track that not only took over the Hype Machine charts once more, but became Forever 21’s flagship song for the fall of 2011.
Poison
Jhameel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feign a smile and I look to the horizon
Days align, I made my decision
Nights go by, you fade into the distance
I don't believe what the mind tells the body
Under the spell of a beautiful fiction
I don't believe what you say to me sweetly
Well, I want to go back to the very first night
And take it all away, get you out of my sight
I'm thinking clear for the very first time
I'm taking you away, shut you out of my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
I see the light and it's coming slow
I feel alive as it covers the horizon
Days align, I've no hesitation
Nights go by, I fade into the distance
I don't believe what the mind tells the body
Under the spell of a beautiful fiction
I don't believe what you say to me sweetly
Under the lies I can feel that you're poison
Well, I want to go back to the very first night
And take it all away, get you out of my sight
I'm thinking clear for the very first time
I'm taking you away, shut you out of my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
And I hear the voices ringing
I should have left you long ago
In my head they're still singing
Ooh
I don't believe what the mind tells the body
Under the spell of a beautiful fiction
I don't believe what you say to me sweetly
Under the lies I can feel that you're poison
Well, I want to go back to the very first night
And take it all away, get you out of my sight
I'm thinking clear for the very first time
I'm taking you away, shut you out of my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
The lyrics of Jhameel's "Poison" depict an individual in the process of recovering from a toxic and poisonous relationship. The opening lines of the song, "I see the line and I let it go, I feign a smile and I look to the horizon," suggest that the singer has made a decisive choice to move on from the toxic relationship. However, the lines "Days align, I've made my decision, Nights go by, you fade into the distance" suggest that the singer is still grappling with the emotional consequences of their decision. The chorus of the song, "I don't believe what you say to me sweetly, Under the lies I can feel that you're poison," highlights the singer's mistrust of their ex-partner's intentions and the emotional manipulation that has likely occurred throughout the relationship.
The second verse of the song, "Well, I want to go back to the very first night And take it all away, get you out of my sight," reflects the singer's ongoing struggle to come to terms with what has happened and shows that the singer is determined to move on. The final lines of the song, "And I hear the voices ringing, I should have left you long ago, In my head, they're still singing," suggest that the singer is still wrestling with the emotional baggage of the relationship, even as they seek closure and healing.
Line by Line Meaning
I see the line and I let it go
I acknowledge the problem, but choose to ignore it and move on
I feign a smile and I look to the horizon
I pretend to be okay while focusing on the future
Days align, I made my decision
I have made up my mind and am sticking to it
Nights go by, you fade into the distance
As time passes, my feelings for you are decreasing
I don't believe what the mind tells the body
I am aware that my thoughts and feelings may contradict each other
Under the spell of a beautiful fiction
I am deceived by an attractive illusion
I don't believe what you say to me sweetly
I know you are lying even if you say it nicely
Under the lies I can feel that you're poison
Your deceitful behavior is toxic for me
Well, I want to go back to the very first night
I wish I could turn back time and erase our first encounter
And take it all away, get you out of my sight
I want to erase you from my life completely
I'm thinking clear for the very first time
I am finally seeing things objectively and rationally
I'm taking you away, shut you out of my life
I am cutting ties with you and removing you from my life
Shut you out of my life, my life
I am determined to remove you completely from my life
And I hear the voices ringing
I am haunted by regrets and doubts
I should have left you long ago
I realize I should have ended this relationship earlier
In my head they're still singing
My thoughts and regrets are still lingering in my mind
Ooh
Expressing strong emotions
I see the light and it's coming slow
I am slowly moving on and starting to feel better
I feel alive as it covers the horizon
I am becoming more optimistic and hopeful for the future
Days align, I've no hesitation
I feel confident in my decision and have no doubts
Nights go by, I fade into the distance
As time passes, my memories of you are becoming more distant

Poison (한글가사)
i see the line and i let it go
i feign a smile and i look to the horizon
그 선을 그저 바라만 보네
미소를 가장하고 수평선을 쳐다봐
days align
i made my decision
한 줄로 늘어선 날들
나는 결심했어
nights go by
you fade into the distance
밤은 흘러가고
너는 저 멀리 사라지지
i don't believe what the mind tells the body
under the spell of a beautiful fiction
아름다운 허상에 홀린 마음이 시키는 말을 나는 믿지 않아
i don't believe what you say to me sweetly
under the lies i can feel that you're poison
달콤한 너의 거짓말도 믿지 않아 너는 독약이야
well i want to go back to the very first night
and take it all away get you out of my sight
최초의 밤으로 돌아가고 싶어
너를 내 시야에서 보이지 않게 모든 것을 치워버릴거야
i'm thinking clear for the very first time
처음으로 명료하게 생각할 수 있어
i'm taking you away
shut you out of my life
너를 없애버릴거야 내 인생에서 사라져
i see the light and it's coming slow
i feel alive as it covers the horizon
천천히 다가오는 빛이 보여
흐려지는 수평선 나는 살아있음을 느껴
days align
i've no hesitation
앞으로 살아갈 날들나는 망설임 없네
nights go by
i fade into the distance
밤은 흘러가고너는 저 멀리 사라지지
and i hear the voices ringing
i should have left you long ago
in my head they're still singing
ooh
울리는 목소리가 들려
오래전에 널 떠났어야 해
내 머릿속에서 여전히 노래부르네

I've had this stuck intermittently in my head for the last week. I've also been battling a nasty cold and insomnia, and this whole album is such a good sleep aid. Thank you 🙏🏻 hope you're well

Saw you on American Idol! It said you were a freelance content creator so I figured that meant YouTube. I'm liking what I hear! You're different and I think that's awesome. Rooting for you Jhameel! You also just gained a new sub! :)
