Currently working on his debut EP Jimmy reflects on the adversity of the broken people. While exploring the consequences of substance abuse, mental illness, heartache and despair, through his writing, he captures in his thought-provoking EP, the essence of our Aching World.
Growing up in South Florida Jimmy began his artistic journey painting and writing at the age of five. It wasnβt until a homework assignment in a fourth-grade choir that he accidentally discovered his vocal ability while singing, "I Have a Dream" by Abba. He channeled his new-found passion for singing participating in both musical theater and chorus. He began to share his talent online, ultimately going viral, yet painfully
experiencing cyber-bullying, do to his "non-cookie-cutter appearance". Caustic words led to eating disorders and depression but Jimmy persevered using his music to heal and grow.
His first major performance was a duet with the legendary Phoebe Snow singing "Poetry Man". Jimmy was a finalist on the first season of Youtube's Best Cover Ever, hosted by Ludicrous and Ryan Seacrest after his cover was discovered by international recording artist Bebe Rexha. He recently performed "Heart on Your Sleeve" his personal tribute to the Parkland Shooting Victims, at the March for Our Lives Rally.
"Shadow", a metaphorical journey of loss, will be the first song to be released from the Aching World: EP.
theory
Jimmy Levy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donβ²t rely on a given faith
Just be wise before making your bed yeah
And it'd be nice to be richer right
So you lied to the trigger when
Nothing else can help you meet your ends
So single handed it contagious
Words are spoken no remorseβ²s
Pain is the wind down
I know there's something in water
Something in fire
SomΠ΅thing on the earth a theory had to bΠ΅ conspired
Citizens will eat it
Now its on demand
They want information so I got the upper hand
Something in the water
Something in fire
Something on this earth a theory had to be conspired
Citizens will eat it
Now its on demand
They want information so I got the upper hand
I believe the world is falling
Honestly my death is calling
I feel like drifting I'm numb
Time will turn my stories pages
I donβ²t mean to be outrageous
When we all die where do we go
So single handed it contagious
Words are spoken no remorseβ²s
Hold your horses tie your set belt
Plain is the wind down
I know something in the water
Something in fire
Something on the earth a theory had to be conspired
Citizens will eat it now its on demand
They want information so I got the upper hand
Oh now there must be something in the water
There must be something in water
There must be something in the fire
I said oh there must be something in the water
There must be something in the fire
I know there's something on this earth oh
The lyrics of Jimmy Levy's song "Theory" delve into the concept of skepticism and questioning established beliefs. The opening lines, "Theory lies in the river blade, Don't rely on a given faith," suggest that theories, ideas, and beliefs can be manipulated and should not be blindly accepted. The song emphasizes the importance of wisdom and critical thinking before making decisions or forming opinions.
The lyrics also touch on the desire for wealth and material success, with the line "And it'd be nice to be richer right, So you lied to the trigger when, Nothing else can help you meet your ends." This portrays a situation where someone may resort to dishonesty or deceit in order to achieve financial gain.
The song further expresses the idea that there is something mysterious and conspiratorial happening in the world. The repetition of the line "Something in the water, Something in fire, Something on this earth a theory had to be conspired" suggests that secrets and hidden truths exist, and citizens are hungry for information, giving the singer the upper hand.

Strange and Bad Vibrations are also incredible, but yeah, this one is a masterpiece. Shadow is heart-wrenching but relatable.

I found this on Spotify and I was trying to look up the lyrics to it because I loved it before realizing it was so underrated there were no sources with the lyrics! I cannot believe how underrated this song is, it's one of my favourites at this moment along with Shadow and Queen of Hearts. You seriously need to be discovered more, your songs are amazing
