Jude Barclay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She been tryna add some titles, entitled
She don't let me know what to dial
She want revival ever since her ex went viral
She been tryna add some titles, entitled
She don't let me know what to
(Are you being serious right now?)
I was nineteen with no clue where I was at
(Where I was at)
I was way too down for the shawty in the back
(Oh) now I'm up, so you down
Tryna swing around back but don't
(Don't) text my phone, no, no (Don't do it)
Hit my girl, she could tell you how it go
(Get to it)
Do a show in your city, I'ma overcharge
Tryna play games with me
Like it's Kingdom Hearts
(Kingdom Hearts, yeah)
Now you wanna know what you missin'
(What you missin')
On the radio and now you wanna listen
(Now you wanna listen)
Need Lasik, you ain't got vision
(No vision, no vision, no, no, no, no)
I ain't thought about you one time, no
(No stress)
Even when it's late int he night, no
(No stress) even with my hand on the Bible
RIP this conversation
She want revival ever since her ex went viral
She been tryna add some titles, entitled
She don't let me know what to dial
Look at your calls
Baby why'd you make me do it now?
Was hittin' the wall and you
Couldn't get me through it
After it all, we did it like we used to
But I'm still in a coupe
Yeah, wait, yeah, yeah
I'm busy, don't call
Always start a problem
Make it seem like my fault
Wanna play a victim but that isn't your job
Always make me feel like you felt better
On god you switched it up
Now you wanna link because I'm livin' up
Every little thing that you've
Been dreaming of
Every little thing that I've
Been thinking of (O oh)
She want revival ever since her ex went viral
She been tryna add some titles, entitled
She don't let me know what to dial
The lyrics to Jude Barclay's song "Revival" depict a narrative about a woman who is seeking a revival in her life after her ex-partner gained popularity and attention. The song suggests that she is trying to add some titles and entitlement to her own identity, possibly in an attempt to regain her own sense of worth and significance. The line "She don't let me know what to dial" implies that she is not communicating clearly or honestly about her intentions and desires.
The song continues with the singer reflecting on their own personal growth and journey. They mention being young and naive at one point, unsure of their direction in life. However, they have now moved on and become more successful, leaving the woman behind. The line "Now you wanna know what you missin', on the radio and now you wanna listen" could suggest that the woman is regretting her choices and realizing what she has lost.
The chorus repeats the idea that the woman wants a revival, but it is unclear whether this is a genuine desire for personal growth or a superficial attempt to regain attention and validation. The lyrics also imply that the singer has moved on and does not have any interest or concern for the woman's attempts to reconnect.
Overall, the song delves into themes of self-worth, personal growth, and the consequences of seeking validation from external sources.

RIP this conversation
Rest in peace, putting an end to this discussion or communication
Look at your calls
Examine your phone calls
Baby why'd you make me do it now?
Darling, why did you compel me to take this action at this moment?
Was hittin' the wall and you
I was experiencing difficulty or obstacle, and you
Couldn't get me through it
Were unable to assist or support me in overcoming it
After it all, we did it like we used to
Despite the circumstances, we managed to engage in a way reminiscent of our past interactions
But I'm still in a coupe
However, I am still in a luxury car
Yeah, wait, yeah, yeah
Yes, hold on, yes, yes
I'm busy, don't call
I am occupied, please refrain from contacting me
Always start a problem
Consistently initiate a conflict or issue
Make it seem like my fault
Convey the impression that the blame lies with me
Wanna play a victim but that isn't your job
Desire to assume the role of a victim, but that is not your responsibility
Always make me feel like you felt better
Always make me believe that you were in a superior emotional state
On god you switched it up
I solemnly swear you changed your behavior
Now you wanna link because I'm livin' up
Now you desire to connect with me because I am experiencing success or excitement
Every little thing that you've
Each and every insignificant detail that you have
Been dreaming of
Been envisioning or desiring
Every little thing that I've
Each and every insignificant detail that I have
Been thinking of (O oh)
Been contemplating or considering (O oh)
She don't let me know what to dial
She fails to inform me of the appropriate number or contact information to use
