Juana originally hails from the city of Chicago. She started out like most, as a random kid on the dance floor every week at places like The Generator and Boom Boom Room, and has been DJing house, techno, and disco parties since roughly 2001. Juana moved to DC in 2003 and began hosting weekly live internet radio shows on HandzOnRadio (Baltimore) and Cyberjamz (Tampa) and playing parties in the DC deep house scene, upping her skills alongside legendary DJs like Sam “the Man” Burns,” and at clubs including Red and the DC Sanctuary. Juana started obsessively collecting disco and early house records in the late 90s and eventually developed an undying penchant for straight-ahead techno and darker shades of Chicago underground acid and deep house of the 80s and 90s.
Over the past several years, Juana has made her mark in DC as one of only a handful of techno DJs, as a member of the founding squad of the Sequence collective, led by Ron Jackson. Sequence was the first underground party committed to consistently showcasing local and global techno DJs and crafting a dark, dangerous, sometimes hellishly uncomfortable party vibe hitherto unavailable in the DC area.
Jealous
Juana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you love to see me fall down my knee
I know what youre up to
youve never been a friend from
the start ive known you
You like it when somebody hurts me
when im down seems you wanna party
and i dont think i like what i see
I tried my best to please you
i tried to be one of you
but you really dont like me at all
or youre just jealous
you say i am getting all the attention
when it should have been you
Your insecurity is driving you so mad and crazy
all you do is to be mean to me
but im all numb when you do it
repeatedly
my successess, cause you stress
you cant stand my skills and ability
you cant get rid of me
you know i dont give up easily
you hate it when i am in the lead
you hate it when i get a grip of my dream
wanna know whats wrong with you
you dont have a life
wish i haven't known you
In Juana's song "Jealous," she addresses a person who seems to derive pleasure from her misery and downfall. The lyrics suggest that this person is not a real friend, but rather someone who is jealous of Juana's success and is threatened by her talents and abilities. Juana is evidently frustrated with this person's behavior and comments, hinting that they are a major source of stress and negativity in her life.
Throughout the song, Juana delves into the individual's insecurities, insinuating that they are lashing out at her due to their own lack of confidence and self-esteem. She talks about how this person seems to always want to be the center of attention, highlighting their selfish and self-centered tendencies. Juana also alludes to her own attempts to please this person, potentially indicating that this is someone who was once close to her, but has since become toxic and harmful.
