Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's okay if you wanna take mine
Take it from me, baby
Extract the soul from human kind
A shame
Down the line
Nothing left to lie
I might have wasted
Staring at the picture fading
Get the camera off my face now
Time's running out
Stop pushing me down
You're incredible
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
Can I mention you sent me
To your hell
Worry how we will proceed this
But really, should I care?
Let me know, baby
See, I can feel your eyes are shifting
Trying to push me left to right
Make up your mind
Can't you see the light?
So many days
I might have wasted
Staring at the picture fading
Get the camera off my face now
Time's running out
Stop pushing me down
You're incredible
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
Can I mention you sent me
To your hell
Yeah
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
I'm telling you now
I'm telling you now
Hell
Break it down
You're incredible
You shock me daily
He's unforgettable
Now get some help
I'm telling you now
I'm telling you now
Hell
You're incredible
You shock me daily
Unforgettable
Now get some help
Can I mention you sent me
To your hell
You're incredible
You shock me daily
He's unforgettable
Now get some help
I'm telling you now
I'm telling you now
Hell
Yes you are
(Shock me baby)
Bop, bop, bop, bop
Yes, you are
Yeah
Incredible, baby
Yeah
The song "Incredible" by Joss Stone is a powerful expression of a tumultuous relationship that is coming to an end. In the first verse, she expresses her desire to not compete with her partner, suggesting that she is willing to let him take the spotlight. However, she also implies that he has taken too much from her, extracting her soul and leaving her with nothing but lies. The chorus then shifts to a more confrontational tone, with Stone accusing her partner of shocking and pushing her down, and trying to push her left to right. The bridge is filled with frustration as she pleads for her partner to make up his mind and see the light, as time is running out.
The entire song showcases Stone's incredible vocal range and emotive power, as she channels the pain and frustration of a relationship that is falling apart. The use of the word "incredible" throughout the song suggests a complicated mix of admiration, shock, and resentment towards her partner. She acknowledges his power over her, but also recognizes that he needs help and may even be leading her to his own "hell."
Ultimately, "Incredible" is a raw and vulnerable track that showcases Joss Stone's incredible talent as a singer and songwriter.
