Jude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I just gotta go
This record company bull-shit
They break my heart, they rape my soul
And they're only after the dollar
And they're dollars, they're dollars
They're house in the hills
I'm gonna break free of this saccharine sunshine
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your jungle hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
I'm gonna go down to cuba
I'm gonna make me some brand new friends
I'm gonna wait for the country to open
And when the music-mother-fuckers try to move right in
I'm gonna be there already waiting
With my long-range rifle and a perfect plan
And when they're all walking on the guitar mat
I'm gonna say "i want my wham, bam, thank you," and
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your drunken hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
You know that I'm right
Sometimes we have to run
To fight.
So come on down to cuba
Come play in the sand
We can drink and go scuba
We'll make love out on the beach
And then we'll run out
Away from the world
And I will be your jungle hero
And you, you, you can be my girl.
Come on down to cuba,
Come play in the sand.
Ahhhhh-ahhhhhhh.
The song "Cuba" by Jude is about leaving the country (presumably the United States) and escaping the greed and corruption of the music industry. The lyrics express the frustrations of the singer who feels that the industry is only after money and does not value art or the artist's well-being. Hence, the singer decides to leave and go to Cuba, where the focus is more on having fun, making new friends, and enjoying life.
The song showcases the contrasts between the superficial values of the music industry and the simplicity and authenticity of life in Cuba. The singer emphasizes this contrast by using the metaphor of saccharine sunshine that suffocates him under the industry's demands. The desire to break free from this suffocation and find liberation is captured in the line, "And I will be your jungle hero, and you, you, you can be my girl."
Overall, the song is a call for authenticity, freedom, and living life on one's terms instead of being a slave to the selfishness and greed of the music industry. It celebrates the simplicity of life and the beauty of exploring and experiencing new adventures.
